had a good, and busy, trip to auckland, new zealand ... although i was there for no more than 48 hours this time! i enjoy going over there - been there numerous times now and am getting more & more familiar with the place with each visit. it's an interesting city which, although similar to some australian capital cities in some respects, also has it's own unique vibe. it's home to the largest polynesian population in the world and has a steadily-increasing asian population too. there is lots of water surrounding the city - harbours, beaches, inlets, rivers; and a lot of large volcanic mounds / hills around the place too. anyhow, further description is beyond me right now - it was a good change of scene for a few days and i look forward to going again (probably later this year), but it is also fine to be back.

AKL is pretty laid-back.

keshi.
Glad you are home again safe and sound.
In mentioning new zealand you make me think of a kiwi soap of some description that I saw part of late one night -it was rather... frightening. A silly question -are they up with everything over there, or are they behind the times, as it seemed to be in the show I watched?
was it 'casualty' or 'seven periods with mr gormsby'?
hehe ... i haven't seen 'casualty' but there was a small element of mr gormsby evident, intermixed between a sky city vibe.
it's in some ways like another state, but with it's own unique, sometimes kinda quirky, vibe ... ;-D
and yeah i guess it is often kinda laid-back as keshi says - and would definitely be that compared to sydney :)
