RosinaKiwi Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 *sneaks into Kiwi thread* Hey guys, I was wondering... Do you know of some cool places to go in New Zealand? Bec (soangel for those who don't know) and I are invading your country in January next year and we need (okay, I need ) to know of some stuff we can do... We're looking at staying around Auckland... I'll come visit later and see if you have any suggestions *sneaks back to Aussieland* I saw you sneaking this thread with your sneaky ways! Auckland...hmm, well if you like a hike Rangitoto island is quite amazing, its conservation land so bring a bottle there aint no running water!! if your prepared for the 365 steps to the summit its quite amazing when you get to the top! its JUST like step classes!! waihiki island is quite nice too, wineyards, the old village and of course, beaches. both are ferry trip from auckland itself and you can even book tour packages. I took the explorer tour of both but you can also take a vineyard tour of waihiki and taste wine and stuff! Jump off the sky tower?? visit the waitomo caves and say hi to charlie! and for the love of all things kiwi you MUST visit my friend GIAPO 100% organic gelato in queen street, tell him I sent ya! they even have karaoki most thursday nights! Hello peeps. I just got back from the VNZMAs, does anyone here like NZ music? I really like Kids of 88:wub2:, and they were amazing, really friendly too. And Gin is also quite good live. To be honest im not really too into the NZ music scene, but we definately have some good talent i reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccah :) Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 yes! i think we have some good talent wow! i watched it on c4 for a bit, bet it was loud with all the screaming fans haah! kids of 88 are awesome! haha, loved seeing the red carpet interview thingys! gin's personality wasn't what i was expecting, haha and her outfit! Hello peeps. I just got back from the VNZMAs, does anyone here like NZ music? I really like Kids of 88:wub2:, and they were amazing, really friendly too. And Gin is also quite good live. To be honest im not really too into the NZ music scene, but we definately have some good talent i reckon. Hello! I definately reccomend Coromandel or Pauanui. They are about a two-three hour drive (a nice drive, mind you ) from auckland. I just got back from a little holiday in pauanui today and its nice even at this time of the year so during January should be lovely. Auckland! Hehe, i live in south auckland. (like way south auckland) Go up the sky tower. Its pretty high, and you can see like the whole auckland waterfront and stuff. And of course theres the Rotorua, south island, general tourist places. Me, living here all my life, haven't actually been to too many places in NZ...What a good citizen i am! Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolliepop_girl Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 How's the exams going girls? I had Art History last monday. Think I passed. I had English last tues which I think I passed for unfamiliar texts (which I got excellence for in the mocks) and defo failed the novel study. Obviously because catcher in the rye is a peice of shiRt and I never finished it because I wanted to punch Holden Caulfield in the face the whole time and I put that paper to the side during the exam and refused to do it Drama yesterday, I think I might have just got by and French this morning which was a total nightmare! Health next week. Screw my life, I hate health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through that a while ago, but I generally avoid any place where there might be fangurling (ie, 98% of the forum ).. Occasionally I feel the need to go into the gasmics thread but it's not that often and I skip over the shirtless pics anyways)...

LOL shuddup, I do health because I'm so good at it that all i do is argue with my classmates and then get told I am the correct one and then I draw cartoons of my friends dying in really funny ways I pass all of everything and I do bugger all so there EDIT Am I the only one who loves and prefers to join in about the fangurling here? I understand where you're coming from but I release my Mikasessiveness in smaller bursts so I don't get bothered by fangurling so much. I love it actually, it always worms my heart to see people so much effected by someone who effects me. Also when they start to argue (and I don't see much of it) sometimes it's actually quite amusing to see what people come up with Edited November 26, 2010 by Lolliepop_girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've probably told me, but i cant remember. my bad.. (actually my bad memorys bad) On the other hand i did find the novel study great, had both the questions i prepared for. Romeo and juliet, i loved the book so i guess that helps. exams? what are they?I had my last exam for the year on the first day of uni exams, tuesday after labour weekend! yuss!

racinghorse83 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) We were all fine - all of the regular posters in here (well there isn't really any anymore, but whaaaaa ) are in the North Island. I wasn't on the MFC and shizz cus I was getting my emo on over a breakup... Sooooooooo. Where are you all? I mean, I know Mika still hasn't shown his face here yet, but there must be one lone fan out in the wilderness..
