WORLD LEADERS .. THEY'RE JUST NOT THAT PRETTY!








5 ways to ensure you don’t end up looking like a world leader...


1. Attend lots of InviteMe parties and meet new people to learn their anti-aging secrets
2. Don’t go home before midnight on the weekends (unless it’s Christmas Eve)
3. Make sure your home by midnight on weekdays for your beauty sleep (yes, even guys need it)
4. Keep up with the latest fashion trends, and medicines to restore a receding hairline
5. Keep skin feeling rejuvenated with lots of laughs from the InviteMe team on their Facebook, Twitter and blog pages (and no they're not smile wrinkles - they're character lines)

My first day at InviteMe

Well, it should have been my second day but had to call in sick on my first which might not have been the best start but I made it. Now sitting here and thinking my uni days will be over soon, no more late sleep-ins, 2 day work weeks, 5 month vacations .....sniff sniff.

Hmmm.... first problem: my computer is a Mac or as I call him MACing.me.crazy. I have never worked with a Mac in my whole life and I swear to God, there is black hole somewhere that's making my files etc. disappear. I wonder if I could use the black hole as an excuse for work I haven't done???
But I am sure that MACing.me.crazy and I will sort out our issues and establish a professional relationship, who knows maybe we even become friends one day.

But on the other hand, I think I have scored a pretty cool internship,it is not a typical 9-5 office job.

To sum it up!

Let me introduce myself a little, I have moved to NZ from Germany( no, my diet doesn't consist of only sausages, sauerkraut and beer) 5 years ago. I had decided to backpack and wanted to go as far as possible and it happened to be NZ (or as my friends call it "the a**e of the world") well it turned out to be quite a nice bum and I fell in love with this funny little country (and a kiwi bloke). It has been a interesting experience and journey so far with up and downs and lots of funny or embarrassing moments, which I guess are part of living in another country.





I am now used to the fact that walking bare feet doesn't mean you're poor or homeless, flip-flops are jandals, rugby isn't the same as American Football, having a piece of fruit in your luggage can cost you $200 at NZ border control, most houses don't have door bells, it is ok to live with flatmates even if you're 35 years old..... I now even have a taste for Marmite.

Week 2 - Wow! Go NZ!

The first working day at InviteMe after daylight savings is an enjoyable one as the ball gets rolling and everyone's still half asleep! What did we think of Pamela Anderson's Catwalk Strut? Unnecessary? Or Outrageous, just the way we like it? New Zealand got a lot of great publicity last week, thanks John Key, you did us proud!

Events this Summer include Farry's Menswear Spring launch happening Wednesday Oct 14th. Who said Fashion Week was the biggest fashion event of the year? Get all your friends together for super savings that all men and women can enjoy. Christmas is just around the corner so make sure you RSVP to get your hands on the savings.

InviteMe members, you can look forward to great events to meet people from around the world in our "Around the World in One Night" campaign aimed at uniting travellers abroad in Aotearoa. Thinking of travelling? Well this is the place to find out the must see's from people who have already been there and done that.
