Date of entry still a bit out. After meeting up with Shaune, an old UNITEC mate, I decided the best way forward was to set up a company and contract draft.

Sleeping for the first week was interesting, no Gena to cuddle up to, damn hot and muggy, (30deg days and 22deg nights), and Niki and Ali's flat is right above a busy North London St, buses screaming past, local boozers yelling shit all night long.

Had to change from 1 line to another half way through, got a little confused, asked some girls for help and was sorted. [View Full Entry]

July 2004 amidst a flurry of late arrivals, tears and gifts (woohoo!). Sat on the plane on the runway for an hour or so whilst they replaced a fuel filter, (nothing like building that confidence in yr airline!). Funnily enough, I got seated next to another Kiwi girl off to do the same thing as I, on almsot the exact same itinary! So that was great, chatted to Anna for a [View Full Entry]
