Queenstown


yoohoo, ive made it to queenstown at last!! for the past few days ive been hitchhiking like a madman, journey as follow...

Blenheim ---> Kaikoura ---> Christchurch ---> Rakaia ---> Geraldine ---> Lake Tekapo ---> Queenstown

stopped by in Christchurch to visit Yasutomo and Julius and had a good reunion time, drinking and talked bout the good times when we were traveling together...

i must say im pretty proud of myself, even more so when the folks who picked me up told me that im the first asian that they've seen hitchhiking, and they praised me for my guts and efforts...'pride', i told them, is the only thing that prevents asian from hitchhiking, and of course, afraid of losing their precious life...

anyhow, things went on pretty smoothly, the guy who took me in today stopped his car voluntarily without my arms sticking out and offered me a ride...talk about God's blessing!!

while im saving a whole lot on transportation, ive just coughed out nzd500 to do bungee jump, white water rafting and milford cruise for the next few days...

im excited to bits to do nevis bungy jump....134m, highest in the world!!

more to come once ive done the leap of faith!!

stay tune
