Aotearoa - Land of the Long White Cloud

Wahooo! I made it to NZ dispite rediculas length stoppovers and inedible in-flight food.
gah

The things that have really struck me so far, is that the streets are clean, green and STRAIGHT! NZ is really rual looking....the people too. NZers are casual dressers, women wearing the height of fashion but their hair is just a little untidy, make up a bit 'rough', shoes too often jandels....I dig it, means I can wear the hodge podge of fashion bought with me from Cambodia without looking too out of place.

Ha! the telly just mentioned that Winston Peters, NZ's Foreign Minister, and absolute wanker, as looking like "Dog Tucker" nice kiwiism for NZ national 6pm news heeee :-D

I miss my cell phone like a serious drug attiction

Managed to arrive in time for a lass's 30th birthday, the theme? Kiwiana. That means all things Kiwi. We had it at a Bowling Club, there was Lion Red on Tap...served in jugs, sausage rolls, Pavlova, Lamingtons, jandels willy nilly, hooo boy erm, rollies, um, Kiwiw fruit, sausage in white bread with Watties tom sause, frozen glass handles, an old couple serving...did she have purple rinse? perhaps....its almost raining, and everyone else is dressed like its summer! I'm staying with Simon, check out his site, perhaps you'll understand the damb fine music to whihc has been the constant and wonderful lulliby...The Greenskeepers x
