so...

I'm in Hong Kong at the moment... stuck in an airport for 9 hours... I just had an 8 hour flight, and I think my next one is about 12 hours long... awesome!

I leave tomorrow, gonna go spend 9 hours hanging around Hong Kong airport, plus 2 long plane rides.

fun!

Suns and Berries

Sunbury... that is the name of the place I'm at right now

yet another small town outside of Melbourne.

there isn't really much to say about the past few days, I did however go to my mums church, it was alright, very small though (25ish people)

for the next few days my delightful mother, aunty and I will be hanging around Melbourne, seeing the sights etc.

so I'm sure I'll have something more exciting to say in the next post.

Flying and... stuff...

ok, so I just left the country for the first time in my entire life, I'm going on a 3 week trip to Australia, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, London and Hong Kong... yep, all that in 3 weeks.

as this is the first time I've been abroad, I have learnt a few things about traveling
1. Customs officers in NZ are not very pleasant... seriously, not pleasant at all.
2. Airports have malls... you just need to leave the country to get to them :-)
3. Don't lose your camera.

I just saw my mum for the first time in six months (also had the first decent meal I've had in about the same period of time [roast beef])

I will post photos later... maybe when I get home... on the 14th of August... at 11.05pm... just in case anyone feels like saying hello at the airport :-D

right now I'm sitting in the corner by myself on the computer, so I should probably go socialize with my step-brother and his family...
