A happy-go-lucky English rambler dude goes to New Zealand for a year. Here he interfaces with some of those he left behind and details his nefarious activities. Or summat.

Been a fairly quiet week, interspersed with a few high quality videos, and another climbing session, this time with Greg from work (A highly experienced ninja style climber). But, as i'm currently skint, and saving money to move on to other bits of NZ soon(ish), as well as Sanjay's visit (With the Cricket Internationals too :oD) , this was ideal.
Climbing with Greg was useful as he pointed out numerous things I was doing wrong whilst attempting to haul my ass up the climbing wall, but slightly demoralising too, watching him scamper up climbs that i had just convinced myself were physically impossible.
By the way, have any of you ever been bothered by suspicious cults, living in the flat underneath you? Well Greg and Andriko from work, who live in the same appartment block as me, have been, and told me about a pretty hilarious way of pissing them off that they discovered last week.
During a storm, their windows started leaking heavily, and their flat rapidly began turning into a lake. What would the average person do? Mop it up probably, but the instead the lads saw it as a opportunity to give the cult a gift from the heavens, and began drilling numerous holes in the floor, so the gallons of rain pouring into their appartment soon found their way down to the cult below!
I haven't had any personal experiences with the Sri Chinmoy cult involved, but Carlos Santana said this of them,
"This shit is not for me--I don't care how enlightening it is."
So that's good enough for me ;o) Andriko and his Brother Theo, also claim to have infiltrated them briefly, and seen a "Love Money" box that members are encouraged to donate to as much as possible, which also sounds a tad fishy if you ask me.
