*~*Felicia'z Spices of Life*~*

Kiwi picking is never easy as I thought. I got this job from Harbourside Backpacker hostel, they provide us this job. You pick as much as u can, and u earn by bin.  But it have to depends on weather. If it rains, then u cannot pick the kiwis.  You have to be tough, strong and tall!  If there's a chance, I wish I can do other job.  But it's a great experience by the way.  I worked under Peter John's team, and Peter is a nice man. :)  We earned $16/bin, n roughly we earn $15/hour :)  This job is very tiring, you'll suffer from stiff shoulder and backbone pain (due to carrying heavy bag of kiwis), handache due to long term of fast kiwis picking, and leg pain, due to standing for long time. Green curry rice cooked by Yong  We enjoyed ourselves with some red wine as we are so tired after working :D 

Day 6 - Doing nothing at hostel It's raining, so there's no picking job for us.  Woke up to make our breakfast, planning to go to Mt. Mounganui,  unfortunately, it was raining, therefore we just stay in our room. I slept from like 11am - 3pm, saw the sun shining, went out for a walk aka shopping. LOL Evening view from our balcony I bought a Deuter pouch for $20 from Mountain  Design. 2 pairs of kids wool socks for $10 Microfibre towel at $5 from Kathmandu and beanie at $3 from Farmers  We cooked dinner at night, and met some Malaysians who came over to visit their friends. It's good to know more friends and to know more travel companion. According to them, kiwi picking job is tough. Well, their team is harder to earn money. So, they chose to move to another place (Coral Kiwi) to work in packhouse (Seeka). However, there isn't much vacancy available, so only 1 out of 3 will be working, while the rest will be still waiting...
