Flat required

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

I am currently looking for a flat in Edinburgh.

I will consider anything, including people also looking for a flat, to go as a group.

I have a few posabilities, including some that only start in june, and would be very interested in somhing that would work between now and then.

Edinburgh

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Well I arrived.

The flight was about normal for an intercontinental, I did however see some really cool scenery vaugly in the himalas reageon.

The day before I flew from hong kong I noticed that there was a slight descrpancy in some of the paperwork, suffice to say the traval agent screwed up and forgot to issue a paper ticket for the flight. It was an utter fluke that I spotted the issue, and i would certainly not be here if I hadent. The phone bill over that one will be interesting…

ooh — i have a new camera:) if you want more detail, bring ear plugs, and say the word camera within 30 feet of me … put the earplugs in when you get bored.

So anywy, more later.

in HK

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Can’t stop long, internet here is $60 an hour…

Loving HK, it’s well cool.

My travel agent found accomidation here before i left the UK, it torns out to be — the “Young Woman’s Christian Assosiation, 5 Man Fuk Road. How’s that for irony…

Anyway, if anyone want’s to contact me either email me and expect a 3 day email turn around, or text me for a decent response.

If anyone wants anything imported, give us a shout, but be specific, and no promises. Email me, then text to say you’ve emailed.

To HK

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Well, I finally worked out why i got confused and ended up 5 hours short on sleep on the flight to aaukland — i’d gottgen the flights mixed up — the flight that i had been planning for is the one that board in 30 mins.

I’m using a dodgy keosk thing at the airport. It’s really expensive, but is remarkably userfriendly, and very expensive, but i don’t care, i have a load of spare change that i can’t spend anywhere else.

anyway, i was bloody lucky i came here on the right day, if i hadn’t have checked this mrning, i’d have been a day late.

anyhows, all good, week in hk and i ‘m home.

Heading back up north

Monday, February 4th, 2008

After a fairly considerable amount a galivanting around all over the place, including :

kiwi bus to Kiakoura;
seal swimming;
the train and ferry to wellington;
kiwi bus to toupo;
intercity to Gisborne;
road trip to Rotorua;
2 nights in a very comfy tent.

I’m now gettign ready to leave the country. I take the Kiwi bus to Aukland tomorrow, and fly soon after.

I am very happy, I have gotten what I have come here for, and still have stuff for next trip. I’m now ready to get on with stuff at home.

For the record, the seal swimming was fantastic, it involved 2 piece 7mm wetsuits, and snorkels. i was a couple of meters from a seal a number of times, and got a good look them loads of times.

Very few photos recently, I’m taking time to chill and see people, and there has been little of photogenicity of late.

I am very intregued to see that sony have relieced a couple of more cameras with some really interesting technology in them. I will be watching this space with baited breath. Even more interesting to me is the fact they have also mentioned that they will be reliecing a new flash gun, it’s goign to be very interesting when it comes out.
