My only friend, keine Gillette Werbung, zugegeben
(stupid angle, had to take the picture myself coz some Englishwoman was too stupid to handle my camera. God bless Canon for the rotating display)
Tree-hugging hippie crap
Love, peace, and harmony to all my flower-loving readers, this one’s for you:
Good Onion!
Ok, das ist nun mehr ein Insider und der einzige, der weiss, was gemeint ist, liest das hier nicht. Nevermind. Just listen too some Aussies and you might just know what I mean. Today I went hiking in the Kahurangi National Park, I walked up Mount Arthur and the Lodestone Track, which has pretty hardcore…
I don’t know what to do with my hands when I talk to you,
you don’t know where to look, so you look at my hands. Heute ein Supertag. I did it again. I rented a car and drove on the wrong side. Seriously, I really needed a long shower after that, makes you feel so dirty. What’s worse – driving on the left side of the road or…
Heimatfront
So, kaum ist man einmal nicht zu Hause, schon ueberschlagen sich die Ereignisse. Wir drehen scheinbar durch und pullen jetzt ein high-risk-manouever nach dem anderen: Carew und Baros? Klasnic endgueltig tot? Wenn das mal gutgeht … . Ich habe meine Zweifel. Niemeyer dagegen ist eine gute Idee. Was sonst noch? Die Iraker sind auf einmal…
I guess I don’t know my name
Kapiti Island, reprise: Should you ever be in the Wellington region, get a permit (from the Wellington DOC office) and go there, it was one of the best places I visited so far, on one level with Kakadu National Park in Oz and the Coromandel perhaps. There are two different areas to visit, you need…
Sheep fucking – no way
Today I married a parrot. Unfortunately I can’t upload the pictures right now, but believe me, we were quite intimate. I went to Kapiti Island, which is a nature reserve, i.e. enjoys the highest level of environmental protection. They began to clear the island from mammals and other European animals and plants 100 years ago…
Room with a view
Oi. Ich bin nun im wahrscheinlich besten Hostel, in dem ich je war, gelandet. Plimmerton Beach, Moana Lodge. Zimmer mit Ozeanblick vom Bett aus. Killer. Romantik pur. Ich und meine Fleecejacke. Werder forever. Hier stimmt von a-z einfach alles und Wellington liegt auch quasi vor der Haustuer. Apropos Wellington: Heute mal wieder einige Stunden im hervorragenden Te…
Climatology
This will be of interest to climatologists as well as tourism managers. Let P(Aw) be the likelihood of rainfall in a given area A. Let further be R the average amount of rainfall in A and let v be the standard devation to R. So far, so good, no worries. I have now discovered a…
Wanganui
Yesterday I went on a trip up the Whanganui River Road which was really interesting. Should you ever be in Wanganui I recommend staying at Tamara Backpackers (24 Somme Pd), Roy also runs Whanganui River Road Tours. The hostel itself is a nice place, quiet, friendly, clean (though they could do with more wash basins…
