More misconceptions about OZ... and i'm about to put em to death.
My parents have just come back from Melbourne and they say that it was one awesome city.. and there was wind too they said. They didn't see any kiters though.
They said the people over there were extremely friendly. The roads were great and so was the weather. They said Melbourne was more friendly than Sydney... and they said that Sydney was more friendly than Auckland. Infact they said that they will be moving to OZ eventually one of these days.. they love it over there... well done guys!!
Go Australia!! As you've gathered... some things in NZ really piss me off. Things however have thawed somewhat between me and the Orewa kiters... no shots have been fired. Melbourne and Perth are tied for 1st equal for worlds best city.
NZ's famed spring conditons have been ****en Awful this time round.... one day in the last week with winds over 15 knots out here in East Auckland.... the rest 10 - 15 knots. Auckland summers are usually TERRIBLE and i'm fully expecting a full kiting ban this time round cos i know someone is gonna **** up and piss someone off at Eastern Beach.
I think NZ's reputation of having friendly people is well and truly dead and buried.... My parents loved the Aussies and their hospitality is second to none... that's why you guys did such a good Olympics and Rugby world cup... the commonwealth games will also be a resounding success of course.
I know i was planning on making my appearence this month. Well maybe i should have tried doin it at the Gravity games... i'd be the guy makin an ass of himself. But nah i am still in NZ and it seems i am gonna be here for a while. But i will be eventually coming to WA. A couple of guys i know are over there. A scottish guy called Grant and a South Africian guy called Lance (you guys allready know him). My mate Tim is coming over there in January... he hates Auckland with a passion so should like WA. I have no money (drug addiction) so i ain't coming.
Damn i love Black Sabbath!!![}:)]
