Orongorongo track

Another update of my track page: The Orongorongo track and some pictures of it.

Golf auf Neuseeländisch

Ich dachte ja immer, Golf sei kein Sport und das denke ich immer noch. Just as my old friend John MacKenroe (sportman, philosopher, and Irishmen): "I don't consider golf to be a sport, I don't even consider it to be an activity!".

Aber Golfspielen in Neuseeland ist etwas anderes! Beim Markara-Beach-Golfclub gibt es eine Grundregel: Für jeden eingelochten Golfball gibt's ein Bier!

Zum Glück hat der Makara-Golfkurs nur 9 Löcher.

After the Rugby cup: drunk and naked!

Rugby players seem to be worse than football player! Or they enjoy life! The whole story here.

Lost between Mickey mouse and Diwali

The last weeks were a bit busy for me, therefore hardly any news on my blog, but will do my best to catch up.

Last news, the All Blacks won the world cup, well, I guess you know that by now.

I left New Zealand on Haloween with a bunch of Air New Zealand stewardesses and pilots dressed up as ghosts and witches. The pilot was actually the ghost and I was wondering who was flying the airplane.
Nevertheless, we arrived in LA and took a shuttle to Anaheim (1 hour drive). Boring place! Only hotels and inns and Disneyland. Mickey mouse is everywhere! Don't go there unless you have five children! I was there as a government civil servant for a conference and felt a bit misplaced, to be honest.

The big and growing community of Indian expats in New Zealand and especially Wellington had a nice gathering last month: Diwali, the Indian sort of New Year's festival of lights that brings happiness and joy to everybody!

You should listen to the latest Bollywood song: My name is Sheela ....
