Happy Easter to you too. did u do anything for easter.... like eat chocolate?
I've had my sister and nephew here over the last couple of days which was cool. I taught him to fetch me beer from the fridge, and the phrase "bow-chicka-bow-wow". Im so proud of him. :D

Sponge Rob, eh? Can we call him Rob for short?
So hows the bath sponge stealing business these days? I'd imagine quite slow as a lot of ppl just shower these days. And everyone knows a shower sponge is completely different to a bath sponge. Its would ruin ur collection if u got a bath sponge.
When u go to the north island remember they call speak northern up there.... its sounds kinda like a cross between a Mancurian and a kiwi. If u happen to come across a pirate up there I'd b interested in finding out what a croass between a kiwi, a manc and a pirate wounds like. Just get a recording and e-mail it to me. Thanks.
Hope ur having fun in Auckland..... the land of the Auck. Not sure what an Auck is just yet but I will do research on the subject.... sounds like more fun that doing actual useful research.
Anyway, c ya later

Hey Rups!
Not sure if I am allowed to call you that, but just so you know, that word is Dutch for caterpillar... :)
How is the teaching job going?
I bought a car a few days after we got back from Northland and I am still travelling on the North Island, currently near Mt Taranaki. I hope to be in Wellington in a couple of days and then continue my trip on the South Island.
You're a good travel journalist, in the sense that you really make me want to go the places you went to! So I will keep your recommendations in mind when I go back to Aussie.
Well, have fun in Auckland!
By the way, did you get your towel back?
Cheers,
Rick
Amit
My suggestion to name your car? how about butch?
Also...apologies for the PT jibe...(as I just read in your journal post) please still send me xmas cards...you're the only one who does!
Westbury
Hey,
Call him "Westbury" after ur favourite half aussie! Or Gilbert, after ur favourite half aussie's son. Or maybe Tony.... after the tiger. hmmmm, orhow about "Not-made-from-wheat-made-from-oats-instead-abix".... afterwt oatabix should have been called!
"Bruce" is a good aussie name!
Or call him "Down"..... then people can say "Hey look, there goes Up and Down".
My final suggestion is "DooBeeDoo"... just cos its sounds funny :D
Have fun Ad x
