November 5, 1989 at 2:34pm 21 years ago, a sweet beautiful woman birthed a child. Not knowing what the future would hold or even be able to imagine what it would bring, I was born. Today was so wonderful that it leaves me speechless. I didn’t imagine ... Read more >

November 4, 2010 So here in a couple of hours I will be 21. Basically in 1 hour I will be 21. This is a big birthday in our society. I think mainly from being legal to drink. How worthless is that about our society. And if I am wrong about the reason ... Read more >

Accidental bus journey

After the 16 hour journey to Manali we made a promise to take it easy on these wild roads and so we took a few taxis and felt more relaxed, although equally shaken by the poor suspension on most cars. But after a week in mellow Tso Pema we tested out ... Read more >

November 3

November 3 rd . I can’t really pin point the million of emotions that I am experiencing right now. But I am overwhelmed by it. It’s like I haven’t started crying yet because I know once it comes it’s not going to stop for a while. I’ve seen it coming ... Read more >

Rainy Tuesday in Paris

Thu, 11 Nov 2010 | By scigwen | Views [614] | Comments [2]

I am writing from the polished stone floor in a Sciences Po corridor. Today, the students of this great institution don't know what to do with themselves. All the libraries have been simultaneously closed for some reason, and it's very wet and ... Read more >

We drove from Paris up to Bologne Sur Mer where we spent the evening with Clara & Gilles-yann who we had met and travelled a little with in South America. We caught up on our travels, they have been to NZ since we saw them last, and spent the night.... Read more >

We arrived in Paris a few days ago. It's not an easy thing to keep a hold of money here. I have already blasted through a months worth of money for Poland here in 3 days. Of course i bought a new watch so that doesn't help matters, even so the Euro is ... Read more >

Paris touristy bits – 8 November

Mon, 8 Nov 2010 | By nomad_kiwis | Views [1004]

Up and on the road by 9.30 with the computer telling us it was only 4 degrees celcius – yeah right – yes right! It was bloody freezing out there. By the time we got to the centre it had also started to rain, any colder and ... Read more >

Sun, 7 Nov 2010 | By romina | Views [487]

It took us 6.5 hrs (by train) to head back north to Dijon (Burgundy region). My first impression of Dijon wasn’t good as I exited the train station. Construction left, right and centre. However as I got to the city centre (10 minutes walking distance ... Read more >

Nice 9-10 Oct

Sun, 7 Nov 2010 | By romina | Views [388]

About 2.5 hrs (by train) east of Aix is the coastal city of Nice. It’s a tacky city with its heavily made-up ‘historical’ buildings. Their ‘old’ city cannot compare to the towns of Sarlat nor Carcassonne. Its hub seems to be the many clusters of restaurants ... Read more >
