At 9.06 am this morning, whilst sat at my desk listening to my iPod and getting on with work, my office shook for a good 30 seconds! Everyone in the office looked as shocked as I felt and we all agreed that it was in fact rather scary. We were at the point where weContinueContinue reading “I think I feel an earthquake up in here…”

Weta Workshop
Today I went to the WETA Cave in Miramar, Wellington and it was fabulous. It was great fun to step inside the walls of an actual movie workshop, even more exiting to note that this is the Multi Academy Award winning company that created The ‘Lord of the Rings’ Trilogy and ‘District 9’…and yes I did see actual,ContinueContinue reading “Weta Workshop”
Roller Derby
A big game for everyone, Richter City All Stars vs Victorian Roller Derby Queen Bees did not disappoint. Most people that I spoke to were of the opinion that we would probably lose…and we did…but that doesn’t matter. Most of the bout was fairly even in the sense that we were giving our all, but itContinueContinue reading “Roller Derby”
Down and Derby
Tonight was the second Richter City league match of the Derby season: Brutal Pageant vs Smash Malice. One of the things that I really like about Roller Derby is the names that each skater has…some of my favourite from the game tonight: Bethwish, Danger Spouse, Professor McGonnaKill, Blocktimus Prime, Scary Maclary, Geal Force, Storm in a BContinueContinue reading “Down and Derby”
Talk Derby to Me!
Moving to Wellington has been exciting and different to say the least, so when I discovered that there was a Roller Derby League within the city, I was amazingly eager to join in on the fun. I went along to the ‘Freshmeat and Greet’ and had a bit of a skate around and a chatContinueContinue reading “Talk Derby to Me!”
I got a job :)
Being phoned up at 10am on Thursday and organizing a meeting and then interview for Friday at 9am and then 10am was slightly daunting considering I have only been in the country for one full week! Not that i’m complaining. It was actually really nice to have sent my CV into a company and actually hear somethingContinueContinue reading “I got a job :)”
My first week in Wellington
My room on Willis Street is lovely! I’m right in the center of the city, within easy walking distance from…well, everything…most of all the shops 🙂 For the first few days I have been getting to know the city. I’ve been walking lots and have been to cafes and craft markets, dropped of CV’s andContinueContinue reading “My first week in Wellington”
I arrived!
I have arrived in Wellington! Woohoo. I had to take one flight from Bangkok to Sydney and then another to get me from Sydney to Wellington, but I arrived! The flights themselves were fab; lots of interesting things to watch on the personal television screens and lovely food and drink, and to make it evenContinueContinue reading “I arrived!”
Bangkok – Take four!
So back in Bangkok for a fourth time, I decided to go to one of the famous roof-top bars. However, as I don’t have a lot of money and most of the bars are super expensive, I opted for the roof-top bar at CentralWorld…its a shopping mall! It was amazing! You could see for milesContinueContinue reading “Bangkok – Take four!”
Diving in Koh Tao
As I now have an open water diving certification, I thought it might be fun to dive here in Koh Tao. As I didnt have a camera under the water with me, I have found a great website where you can see images of common marine life found around Koh Tao. Master-Divers has a greatContinueContinue reading “Diving in Koh Tao”
