My Impending Silence


Ok. This is going to be my last post for a while and here’s why:

This week I am attending a 4 live-in day training seminar run by the UNHCR on humanitarian negotiations, and then on Friday night I am off to Bangkok to catch a flight on Saturday to New York to meet 6 of my favourite people in the world and travel around with them for three weeks. 

So, as far as these magic postcards go, I might write some while I’m in the USA, but I’m not sure, there are a lot of factors to take into consideration, like how many hours spent in the van each day, and whose floor we’re sleeping on on any given night. So check back here occasionally if you’re interested in shenanigans only possibly when you cram 6 New Zealanders, 1 Texan, several guitars and an accordion into a small van that will travel the east coast of the USA on a budget of $0 per day. Oh, the band's I'm touring with are The Outsiders (click here)and Freddy Fudd Pucker, in case you're interested. They're pretty great, but then again, I'm pretty biased.

I'm aware this is sideways, but I can't figure out how to rotate it
As promised, here is a picture of me trying to play golf last weekend. Do not be fooled, that sweet looking muscle is a mere illusion, and I am a very bad golfer, despite what this picture may or may not depict.

Right, I have a massive amount of work to get finished before I go away, and since this UN training thing has only just been offered to me in the last 12 hours, I need to try and cram 5 day worth of work into Sunday afternoon, and I’d also like to fit in a swim if possible because it is very very hot today. 

So ka kite ano, talk to you in a month!

  1. What a strange idea – to have one’s blog deconstructed by what appears to be a linguistics student. It probably goes on all the time but having the student blog about it himself shows a distinct lack of judgement. Put it down to poor pre frontal cortex development.

    I’ve enjoyed your blogs – have a great adventure in the US. cheers
