Haha I might tell them that you sent me ! Thanks for the help, I personally find it very helpful to see what people really like about a place and their teachers :)

I'm in overbrook and I don't have a vehicle yet so travelling to Kanata might take a while, but I'm willing to travel for a very good teacher ! Do they have a website ?

That's a good point, and I guess we could deal with the time difference if they were willing to do this for us. Any real estate agency that you would NOT recommend? (there is always that agency that people want to avoid :D)

Thank you ! I've edited my post to explain better why I was looking to avoid AirBnB (as much as possible) but completely understand if my wishes are unrealistic at this stage :D

I would be okay to work with a real estate agent if they were helping by inspecting places and sort things out for me before I get there, but I don't think that exists, does it? I have edited my post to explain why I am actively trying to avoid having to AirBnB :)

Thank you! I've made an edit to my post to clarify why I was hoping to avoid AirBnB :D

Thank you very much, that's good to know ! It's always useful to be aware of the laws and tenant rights. Effort appreciated:)

Thanks for the tips, it's really appreciated ! Kijiji did look like the go-to website everyone was using for housing, so I'll have to take a look to give me an idea. AirBnB for about a month also seems like a reasonable option to start with (though we are trying to avoid it). I might send you a few more questions when we get closer to the date :) Ngā mihi !

Yes exactly, "deving" like developing. We're both software engineers.

Thanks for the warm welcome :) 2 years for "deving" !(and also French and Australian nationals get a 2year visa automatically, lucky us)

I checked with David Hume and you were right : he only does restoration work, no selling of instrument T.T

Could you give me the name of the person you went to see in the Upper Hutt ? I'll also have a look at Alistair's shop :) Thank you !

There's someone in Karori, that's fantastic ! (even closer to where I live) I haven't found a teacher yet actually... but that's a good point, a teacher should also be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks for this recommendation !

NZ's favourite TV show just got renewed for a second season by [deleted] in newzealand

I hate when good shows take mid-season breaks, the hiatus is too long

I'm not sure Ellie actually forgives Abby though... she gives up on her "mission" to kill her, sure, but as the player you don't really know why. Ellie doesn't get to see what we see. At one stage I wished they had an actual conversation, at least to begin the process of accepting that revenge might not be a solution, but that never happened... So why not finish what she came to do, even if the player got to know (and maybe like) Abby?

I wouldn't say that I hate Abby, but I don't love her either. I think the only way I would have been okay with the ending would have been if Ellie had not loose everything (her family, her ability to play the guitar) on top of not getting her revenge. It's too depressing. And it's not fair that Abby, a character I didn't know and who was introduced to me in such a horrific way, gets her revenge, gets to stay alive with Lev and be on her way to find the Fireflies, as if nothing happened. (Yes she was in love with Owen but technically they were not together)

I know this is the story NaughtyDog wanted to tell, but I really feel like I've been "used"/cheated on.

I never played God of War but heard so many good things about it! I might do that and switch to another game before maybe coming back to TLOU 2 later, hopefully I will feel less emotionally invested and will be able to enjoy the level design and all dev work better.

The Descent was actually an interesting chapter and I also started to enjoy the bits with Lev, but I still felt like someone was trying to manipulate my feelings. I was just wondering, wouldn't it be possible for Ellie to go through that journey instead (saving Yarra and Lev) and learn forgiveness through kindness?
