Best New Zealand Film (ever) - Kaikohe Demolition

Yeah, so movies are filmed in New Zealand (the piano, LOTR, Silvia, Last Samurai) but until now I have never seen a movie that truly captures what New Zealand is about.

You gotta check out this doco called 'Kaikohe Demolition '. I laughed till i almost cried (in a very good way, mind you). Its amazing of how true it captures the kiwi spirit - a real heart warmer. It'll make ye want to smash your subaru into thy neighbour's suv. Its choice bro! :thumbup:

Just make sure you turn on the subtitles, i've been here for 3 years and i can still can't undastind tha kiwispeak :lol:

Alrighty if you came across this blog by happenstance - you probably won't find much interesting or useful here. This my diatribe ridden, miscellaneous postin', random thought postin' 'blah'g. For the good stuff, like photography go to my NZ photoblog. I've recently taken some pics from where they filmed Weathertop Downs. Click on the piccie below:

Baseball Season! Go Braves from biggest fan in NZ!

Yes, there are few things things that I am unashamingly American about, one thing is baseball. I have streamed audio audio during the playoffs off the internet during work hours with my headset on - only to startle my coworkers with loud "WOOHOOOS!!!"'s and "YESSSSSSSSSH!!!!!"'s and other primitive cries of joy.

I've found it difficult to adapt rugby in my new country, and I guess once you get baseball in your system, you can never get rid of it. My mates here all give strange looks when I talk baseball, so one of my few joys is when I can get on the phone (or skype, messenger) and have a good ol' fashioned chinwag about baseball.

And here's to the Braves - Take the "chop" all the way to the World Series!
