Sweet as...
I had to take a picture of this sign as soon as I saw it. It's an expression that I did not understand when I first got here. If something is really cool or fun or good, they will say it's sweet as, cool as, fun as. When I gave my first test to my students they said it was hard as. I made a funny joke and someone said I was crack up as.
Everytime I hear it, I just want to ask, As what?
I've started getting used to it - I just hope I don't start saying it.
I have 2 more days of school left and then summer vacation!! Hopefully I will have some adventures and pictures to share with you all soon.

I could teach everyone the Haka next time we're at the beach together - it would be fun as.
