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”
Leaving Koh Tao
After a gorgeous few days here in Koh Tao, it is unfortunately time to leave. I have really enjoyed spending time here, despite a few days of illness and the long winded way of getting here, it’s been bliss to just relax after all of the action! I do think, however, that I have somewhatContinueContinue reading “Leaving Koh Tao”
Bangkok to Koh Tao
After a very long night of travelling, first by Train from Bangkok to Chumphon, then by bus from Chumphon to the coast and finally by boat to the island, I arrived in Koh Tao. The journey really tired me out and I wasn’t feeling too bright, so the first thing that I did upon arrivingContinueContinue reading “Bangkok to Koh Tao”
