Hello from a Kiwi in the UK

1QuirkyKiwi · 09-23-2011, 03:13 PM

Kia Ora! I'm new to the site - I’m never very good at doing the first introductory email, as I’m not sure how to start and what to say......I’m naturally friendly and talkative, which can result in me trying not to make a fool of myself (it’s not the first time and certainly won’t be the last, lol!). I have this spectacular talent for putting my foot in my mouth and going off on tangets, lol!

I'm often told that I'm annoyingly happy, irritatingly optimistic and elegantly blunt (is there such a thing?

).

I look forward to getting to know many of you and wish you all every health and happiness.

I take it Kia Ora means "Hello"-in Maori?

Welcome, this is a great site and I hope you make many friends here

Thank you all for the lovely welcome!

Yes, Guihong 'Kia Ora' does mean 'Hello' in Te Reo Maori - it also mean 'Be healthy and 'Thank you'.'

Hullo Kia Ora! My company's hq is in London... if I ever cross the pond, I'll let you know!

I'll give you a Georgia peach welcome and tour if you're ever here.

Howdy from Oklahoma, Kiwi! Not sure where that's at? I'm in the middle of the US just north of Texas. Welcome to The Planet, glad you're here! You'll meet all sorts of folks, we won't bite, unless you ask, lol. So pull up a chair and make yourself at home!

crashhere4eva · 09-29-2011, 08:59 PM

We have kind of already met but wanted to officially welcome you!

Welcome to the Planet.

Kia Ora. Tena koe (Hello and greetings).

Please do let me know should you visit London, I'll happily be your tour-guide. There are some fantastic places to visit in and around London.

I loved my all too brief time in Georgia. Peaches are my favourite fruit and I greedily sampled the many peach dishes Atlanta had to offer.

Thank you for the welcome!

Kia Ora!

I have a good friend in Austin, but, as of yet, I haven't ventured to Oklahoma - maybe one day I will...

I'm quite partial to a little nibble and a gnaw every now and then, lol! ;-D

Thank you for the welcome.
