Hey everyone, I just added the last photos i took of Japan and the photo's i took off Brisbane when i was there on the way back. I also added some bar photos and photos of Osaka Aquarium to the Osaka section. Some of the photo's are ok, some are terrible :) Life in Wellington, New Zealand is ok on the whole. I'm pretty lonely being in a house all by myself with only the dog to keep me company, and i always have heaps on my mind. I haven't been as productive as i would have liked. Been pretty slack on editing my movie and i still haven't got my Learners Driving Licence yet, but i have bought the Road Code, so that's a start. Not much news apart from that, except that Anita and I have started dating again, but we're taking it super slowly so we dont mess anything up this time. Lots of love, Neil xoxoxo

Hey everyone, Bryan becuase he is the awesomest sent me the photos he took at Summer Sonic. So i just put them up. If it seems like all we did all day (well me and James anyway) was stand in front of a fan, well, you're pretty much right. It was probably about 30 degrees, and this magical device sprayed very very light water through these fans were very quickly got you drenched but stopped us from dying basically. When we got there we saw Mstr Krft in the dance tent, then we moved onto Brett Anderson, formerly of Suede in the Sonic Stage, then we got food, checked out some cool shit, saw Bloc Party, followed by Manic Street Preachers followed by Kasabian all on the 2nd biggest stage, the Ocean Stage, then went up to see The Offspring on the Sky Stage, it was amazing. I saw 3 bands/artists who've i've wanted to see for years and years and years, sdo i couldnt have been happier. I sweated out literally 4 litres (becuase i drunk around 8 500ml Pocari Sweats and didn't ...

Hey everyone, Sorry i havent updated this in so long, i've just been having too much fun back in New Zealand :P The trip back was ok, but my advice to anyone reading, NEVER overfill your suitcase so it ends up being over 31kgs, becuase you will encounter somewhere where there is stairs, or somewhere where you have to drag it for miles. If you're lucky enough to be me, you get both. Started work on my film, but very very slowly. Trying to remember even how to edit to be completely honest, it's tricky. Oh well, i've got ages. Also reading the Road Code so i can get my Learners Level Driving Licence. And i went swimming yesterday for the first time in ages, my legs felt like jelly after half an hour, but it was a good workout. My parents left for the UK a while ago so i am home by myself, and it gets kinda boring and lonely. At least i have my dog to keep me company :) Soon i'll upload some photos of her and my house. Hope there's still some of you that ...

Hi there, It's now Monday, most of you will be returning to work after the weekend. I will to, but it is my very last day at Nova. I'm incredibly sad about it in a lot of ways and very happy about it in a lot of others. But this blog is not about that, this is my better-late-than-never blog about my trip last week to Hiroshima, on today the 62nd Anniversary of the Atomic bombing. Enjoy. So Tuesday morning, i woke at about 9 o clock, deliberately. I had been really tired so i treated myself to a wee sleep in before i dashed off to Sannomiya in Kobe to catch the bus to Hiroshima. I said goodbye to Tristan (Luke was in America at this stage) and went to the station. Upon arriving about an hour later in Sannomiya i quickly grabbed a juice and possible the nicest danish i have ever eaten and went to the bus station. Pulling out my "watashi wa Hiroshima ikitai" (i would like to go to Hiroshima) i was given a pamphlet by the amused ticket man. I looked at it with utter ...

Hey everyone, So i thought i'd write another blog, even though i wont be able to post the pictures that go with it for a wee while. So on the two days off last week i went shopping, but more importantly, on the wednesday i went to USJ! USJ stands for Universal Studios Japan, but it's what everyone calls it round here :) I asked Andrew if he wanted to go the tuesday, but he didn't want to, and he had had work on the wednesday, so i was on my own. Consulting the Lonely Planet i permanently borrowed from work i set off to Osaka around half past ten, still unsure whether i would go to USJ or the aquarium. When i got to Umeda station, the sun was shining beautifully so i decided to go to USJ. Two different connecting trains later and i was Universal City. I put my bag in a pay locker and set off in the direction of the theme park. Universal City is very similar to the one in LA that i went to 6 years ago now. Its smaller, but has the same fundamental towered idea of restaurants with ...
