holy crapola!

I am an American. I come in a package from America.



My plane got stuck in Auckland, so I took a bus into the city.



I wanted to jump off this thing, but it cost $190NZ (the bungie jump ropes are on the left):



So, instead, I walked around on the glass floor 350 feet up,



checked out the view (notice the clouds in Aukland),



and attended a show of "Castle Cats."



Then I flew to Wellington. Weta booked me in a huge room at the Duxton hotel w/two bathrooms, a hallway, & a livingroom. Here's the living room:



The view from the hotel:



Then I went to work. Weta is cute (I got to see dragons on my frist day):



You know that sheild that the Urukai (sp) throws at Aragorn & almost cuts his head off? I walk by that on my way to the bathroom.

Weta gave me a rental car for two weeks:



So I went for a drive.



& took a walk:







Then Inge (a nice Weta HR chicka) took me to see apartments (they're enormous. We looked at one that was a four bedroom place & in my price range! Anyone want to visit?)



I'm having fun :)
