What's up y'all!

I'm in Middle Earth at the moment, aka New Zealand. Here on a family holiday and must say thyat i'm loving it, McDonald's style. We've been to these places (Lord of the Rings places listed for those hobbit fans - I know your out there):

Christchurch aka Edoras
Mount Cook aka Mt Doom
Queenstown
Lake Tekapo

I like this place. Open plains, massive mountains, and ah yes, the sheep. We've been driving a lot lately. We hired a Terago in Christchurch and drove to Queenstown via Mount Cook. Left at 10am and arrived at 9pm. I punched it up to 130km p/h coz
1)Terago's can't fly that fast
2) plenty of luggage
3) MASSIVE cliffs, gorges, and windy turns tends to slow the best of Daytona drivers.

I wish i had like a suburu WRX on these roads, you would just go nuts.

Oh, and if you don't know, there's a slight exchange rate differential between AUstralia and NZ. about 93 AUD cents to $1NZD so everything seems so slightly more expensive.

THe natural beauty of NZ is just superb. Rivers, Lakes, Canyons. Crazy scenery. And NZ ppl talk slightly different as well. This Asian check out chic said to me the other day "Wuld you like a beg?" as in would i like a bag. SOunded weird. ANd they love to say "sweet as" after every sentence you say.

Gotta go, internet cafe time running out.

I'm out like "sweet as"
