Amaaaaanda, this entry is messed up in LiveJournal.

As you probably know, New Zealand is a pretty tourist-oriented country so even coming to New Zealand is something locals are indifferent about. Haha.

Reply: Aha, fixed!

Disneyland…Universal Studios…beach…up north a bit is Hollywood. I’ve been to LA, but never actually to Hollywood…I see enough plastic, super-tan, fake blondes in Orange County and the part of LA that I have been to are even worse…so I don’t really wanna imagine what Hollywood is like.

The amusement parks are still things that locals do (yay Disneyland!)…except we know how to get the best out of the ticket money. and we say things like, “omgosh remember Pirates of the Caribbean BEFORE they changed it for the movie?” or “shoot, so many people have died on the Matterhorn…and at Disneyland in general.”

I’m still juggling the idea of the weekend, Manduh. :P There’s an overnight train from Sydney to Melbourne and vice versa? Holy crap! You must inform of these details.

Well, you already know what it’s like in Sydney. Central Station is the ultimate place to go to scare randoms and catch trains, the Coathanger is good for the climb (we should go – remind me!), etc. etc. King’s Cross at night! LOL.

Walking around the Harbour is exquisite, particularly in the late afternoon. Oh! And the university campuses are awesome. And the Starbucks! And the (goes on tangent) … also, the Aquarium is funfunfun, and we should try and find Le Petit Escargot. A French restaurant I went to three years ago … it was quite good …

Shopping is expensive. $847648762424876-esque expensive. :D

Whenever I visit Egypt, I go see the pyramids and get dragged to a lot of museums. My cousins who live there have never been to those places :P

I have yet to see the top of the Empire State Building or go on a boat past the Statue of Liberty.

ok, i'm just gonna asume, that you read my comment that i left 3 days ago & hope you wont be trashing my site again. Reply: See, I was just going to leave it, and assume (double s) that you're an insecure idiot. Now that you've inexplicably decided to come back and 'check up' on me, I know you're an insecure idiot. Congratulations. Once I get some time, you're going to receive an unrequested review from me.

In Groningen probably climbing the Martini Tower, I have done it twice, and it was no big deal…
They’ll probably come for the Groninger Museum as well.. It’s boring :P I’m not into modern art.

People come to upstate New York to fly fish and leaf peep. They call it quaint; we call it ridiculous.

If Seth and I lived in Australia, we would beg you to join us for dinner and a threesome. If you ever come stateside…
