2006/2007 nz tour - the piccies

so here we are folks. back in the Japan following a triumphant 2006/2007 summer season in sunny (hah!) New Zealand towne. things are right back all sorted like here and we are looking forward to a grand year.

my job wise, the sooper-dooper-craze-ed-bloody-hell-i-want-that-one job that i was after didn't quite materialise, but is still very much in my "want-y" range and i will be hopefully doing some freelance-y type research for them during the year and we will see what comes about in the future.

in the meantime, i have renewed my contract here at city hall and have a feeling that it will be a nifty year. we have a few things coming together that we have been planning for a while so it will be nice to see those come to fruition.

which means, my hearty fellow travellers, that the big red couch is open in sunny Hiroshima-towne for another 18 months at least so get your Japan on and come on over. we had a record number of itinerant travellers last year and we have this whole sitting-around-the-Japanese-pub-nattering-and-eating-offal DOWN PAT so come along and see for your good selves.

in sooper exciting news, nic is leaving her job in a month or so and embarking on a solo making-stuff-out-of-antique-japanese -fabric-and-selling-it extravaganza like adventure, something which i for one am AMPING about. i think it will be choice. rad even.

righto. here's some fotografias (as they say) for your enjoyment, of our NZ travels. enjoy.

be well one and all.

go the bloody black caps.
