South Pacific

You are just an ordinary New Zealander. You have strength, intelligence and good luck, though you are not particularly good at languages. Your family and friends like you, and there is one special friend who thinks you're really swell. Yours is a well-rounded personality; your horoscope is usually good; your school report says "satisfactory". But somehow you are restless. Your life is missing challenge and excitement. You want to make this happen. Go to 2.
