Sorry, I'm not from around here

I supposed I can't run away from blogging about my trip anymore, ey?
But I don't plan on making this post very long so stay put! :-)
New Zealand, so how was it? I guess it was alright, but personally, I would've loved to spend those 16 days in Sydney instead. I also gained like another 2-3 kgs from it too, /shame. I want to confirm one thing about it though, the air, the scenery, the wilderness, were all simply divine. Also, it's not much of a multi-cultural country. Not as much as Australia at least. Maoris/Kiwis/Islanders pretty much dominated the land. But hey, I think found quite a few Maori guys pretty damn hot. (Sushi restaurants/stores were everywhere aswell!)
The accent! As soon as I stepped off the plane, everyone working in the airport had a NZ accent! It's exactly like the beached as whale accent, but fortunately it was only in the airport where this had occurred the most. And so, Eric - there were no talking whales there as well.
The reason I couldn't go on the computer much then, was because most of the time, Dota, or Warcraft or whatever was on the screen. But I'm not so much of a computer addict these days so it wasn't that bad! But throughout that time I became a hardcore Tekken addict on PSP, damn boy, it is so fun. 10 hit combos ftw. Lili is hot, hehe. Blame this on all 6 of my cousins there, they were all guys too. Shopping was lonely, /sigh.
Watched Alvin & the Chipmunks 2 on the world's biggest cinema screen!
Auckland City is quite nice, wells nicer than Adelaide that's for sure. So many nice international chain stores and everything. I think Australia is lame for being the only one with Burger King as Hungry Jacks. In the city, there's this gallery-type place and everything under that one roof was from Chanel, Dior, Guess, LV, and etc!
I think their Santa kinda owns Rundle's Santa ..
Hrms, what did I do over there?
There was this place called Rotorua and it has many volcanic .. stuff. There I rode on a gondola, luge, and a sky swing at
Skyline Skyrides; owned my cousin's ass in a Swoop race, and hung on to the edge riding NZ's fastest jetski at
Agroventures; and chilled in a mudbath/spa at
Hells Gate & Wai Ora Spa.In Auckland, I wanted to jump off Sky Tower which was almost a 200m jump but I never got the chance to, plus it's pretty expensive- around $200 to jump. Rainbows End's trip was fun too, which I had posted about in the previous blog. Devonport which is a island 15 minutes away from Auckland City was another pretty place, it consisted of many vintage and quirky stores & snuggly little cafes.
This was a war-hideout in Devonport, shit scary.
I also met many children, :D 
I have realised, Adl's snow arena has n0ob-ass rental skis.
Try NZ's rental skis, they're like 10 times thinner. T__T
Andy was my favourite kid there! Unfortunately, there arent any photos of him in this post :( When we first came, he ran away crying (am I that scary?) but by the morning I left, he actually let me give him a farewell hug. Damn I miss him, by the time I see him next, hopefully he'll be a .. hot young bloke aye :-)
I think that pretty much covers everything, yes? :D
P.S - The souvenirs were too expensive for me to buy for everyone.
Considering everyone is a lot of people ..
