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.

Quick status update: Am in Paihia, Bay of Islands, in the worlds most expensive internet caff $9 per hour!
Anyway, had a great time in Auckland with Alex & Jo, Alison & Marie, the city did grow on me after initially feeling a bit negative about it, though i'd pick the mighty 'Church over it everytime if you asked me which i prefered.
Am currently looking for WWOOFing / proper jobs, as funds are dwindling rapidly. I phoned a few places last night with no joy, they were either full or didn't need people. However I did learn that Kiwi fruit harvest will be starting soon, so hopefully jobs will be easier to come by then.
One of the farms i phoned was run by Zen Bhuddists, who ran meditation sessions every morning and night, however he said he. "was too stressed out at the minute to take on a WWOOFer". So i'd take it from that,Zen meditation is a load of cack, or he's just not very good at it?!
