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.

Bad news - i'm not in Hawaii anymore.
Good news - i'm in Canada - hurrah!
Vancouver seems like a fairly happening type of place thus far, and as is traditional i'm living in the Red light district.
All i've found out about the place so far is that there's an excellent, cheap pizza place down the road from the hostel - huge slices for $1.50 and run by a comedy New Yoik Eyetalian, who i expected to scream, "Quit bustin' my bawls!" at any second, at his overworked kitchen staff.
Also there's a Mum gig in town on Tuesday, which i may go to if i'm still here. Never actually heard any of their stuff, but an ambient, Icelandic, Belle and Sebastian can't be bad. (According to young Craig anyway).
Not quite worked out what i'll be doing here yet - i'm just off out to buy a Lonely Planet, but i'd imagine rambling, mountain biking and just maybe, Paragliding will be on the agenda.
