Gidday Mates!

I had wonderful wonderful time this weekend. Wanted to share some picz..

We ( myself and 3 of my frens from university) flew from Christchurch, which is on the east coast of south island of New Zealand to Hokitika on the west coast, through the southern alps in a private aircraft.

Between the gorges of Arthur's pass

Through the mist of the clouds

to the wet wet lands of the west coast.

The purpose of our visit to Hokitika was to participate in " Wild food festival"where I found the wildest and the craziest food u can ever imagine... to name the few were ..( lets start from decent ones - venison, eel, ostrich, horse,
whitebaits, Emu, .. did u feel that was just ordinary food??
then here it comes possum meat, shark, snails, sea gulls.... Ok more..goat testicles, cow's tits,bulls balls, pig's penis ...I should stop now.
Did I try some? Yeh I did quite a few... I tried Emu kebab, oysters,
whitebaits...I couldn't go for the hard cores....
And there were lots and lots of alcohol..
It was great fun... to see people go crazy with eating wild food and drinking
wild drinks.

worms...

why the hell girls were queuing there ?

and after a long hard day, finally landing in christchurch international airport

Bulls Penis??? Ewww thats disgusting.. :o{

Oh and BTW beautiful pics..

Indeed nice photos. Just curious, is there such thing as FUI (flying under influence) over there? There are more females hanging out near Bull's penis. I bet there is a cultral belief that eating Bull's penis boost female fertility :)

Hey Kiwiland...are there lots of nepalis in Christchurch? I have a sister who is spankin new out there. Shes doing a post graduate course in the Univ of Canterbury in Christchurch. Naulo thau ma, it would be nice if she could make some friends and get handy tips from ppl who've already been living there for a while. Would appreciate it if you could shed some light.

O btw, the pics are very nice. Heard NZ is a country abounding in scenic beauty.

Hey Kiwiland, shes in the Communication department if I'm not mistaken. I think its a post grad course in PR. In any case I did give her your email addy. Perhaps you'll hear from her in the near future. Thanks for being a sport n following it up. You rock!!!

Hey Kiwiland:

You made my day with your pics. Thank you for sharing your unique experience. The closest to that region I have been to is Bali, Indonesia (last year). The Southern Hemisphere night sky is breathtaking!

I am (kinda sorta) planning to go to Australia next Spring (your Fall, I believe) hopefully, I will be able to fly to Newzealand too. Also, I would like to visit the land of the Fairy Princess and her fairytale wedding! :)

About the cuisine, what did you eat/try?
