Hello, Well it's been almost 2 months since the last blog entry. So much for keeping that up to date. I am now in Auckland with Mark and we have another 6 days her before we fly to Australia. Here's a little update on what i have been doing since the last blog. Mark arrived in Queenstown on 10th September. At that time I was spending all my time either snowboarding or working in KFC. I carried on doing that for a few weeks and we decided around mid September t...

So Carolann and I are now pretty much settled in Queenstown. Since my last blog I have pretty much been trying to find a job and w...

I'm getting slack on the blog already - I can't believe it. Anyway, I have been really busy sice my last post. As you can see, I am now in New Zealand with Carolann. In my last couple of Days in Japan I didn't really see anything else that I had not seen before. The one highlight was going to Karaoke in Shibuya. A few of us from the Hostel went to a Karaoke bar.
