I'll give you a brief run down on the cities.

Auckland: Biggest city in N.Z, 1.2 million people. Transport is expensive and difficult to use. Accommodation is about 1/3 more expensive than elsewhere. However the there is a lot to do and see.

Hamilton: About 200,000 people in Hamilton, 1 hour drive to Auckland and Auckland Int Airport, Has an International airport of its own. Comparitively cheap. Transport really easy to use, easy to get around. Quite a bit to see and do if you know where to look.

Wellington: Capital, Parliament sits in Wellington, about 300-400 thousand people if I remember correctly. International airport. Not sure about transport but I know there is a bus service.

Christchurch: About 500,000 people. Totalled by a large earthquake. Do not go to Christchurch.

Dunedin: About 200-300 thousand people. Can be very cold, snows in winter. Lincoln University, similar to other centres although isolated from other cities.

I should probably mention there is a pretty strong Catholic community in Hamilton too, which I associate with.

Very nice tank!

I wish I had the room for something like that...

You should put some pictures of it on the forums. People like my animal photos; they'd probably love to see your fish. ;D

Hey, you're back!

I noticed a while ago that it said you like fishkeeping in your "about me" section.

What species do you keep? Do you have any pictures of your tanks?

never say never, ma oyeä tsmuke! there are some years to go - who know? maybe you'll win the National Lottery?

no worries ma tsmuke, better luck next time! I was watching the news on World Week, and maybe I even saw you on the tele - without knowing it was you! Certainly there were lots of people there So, are you going to Brasil for the next one?

ma oeyä tsmuke! have you been to Madrid - and I didn't even know?? Oh, next time you go to Spain give me a shout - maybe we'll arrange a mini-meet-up, watch the CE & fly some ikrans...

Lucky you.

Just ending my first week back at school after a small holdiay break , what about you?
