I've had quite a few interesting dorm mates in the past few days......I arrived in Wellington on Saturday night, and no sooner i'd arrived I bumped into a guy from Ireland who I'd met in Auckland, and then eating my steak bumped into another mate from Rotorua! Its very bizzare! When I got into my dorm, there was no less, and what may as well have been Mr Miyagi from Karate Kid! He was from Taiwan and was absolutely hillarious, laughing at everything w...

They all came to New Zealand a 1000 years ago from Hawaii, C...

I feel somewhat like a Pearce Brosnan from Volcano, as hot steam is emerging from the drains, and the smell of burning in the air! I am infact in Rotorua, famed for its geothermal activity! I have just arrived here after a full day in Waitomo! Yesterday, I headed over to the Auckland Museum to find out a little more Maori culture, its was facinating stuff, but i'm not a huge fan of museums and was back into the main town an hour later on! Its been quite an amusin...
