Happy new year folks! and a very bizzarre one it was at that, We began by playing charades and ended by watching athe police come and handcuff the drunkards for fighting.. vairly standard you say? So We are in Nelson- two roads in the city centre had been closed and there were a couple of live bands playing ( some good some bad) but the best thing about this was these strange orange people who are apparently there to help the drunk by giving away free Hot dogs. I wasnt drunk but i wasnt going to say no! yum! We spent most of hour evening hopping between this stage and a cocktail bar called liquid Nz. People are so laid back here it never really got to Rave status but we danced and at midnight we sang old lansyme ?( i dont even know how its spelt!) as loudly as possible as they dont really do that over here! sad face..still we roped some randomers into singing as well! There were fire works and stuff as well but they had stupidly arrange it so there was a large tree blocking the fireworks from view of the stage.. if i was managing that event i'd have cut it down, we saw one sprinkle. pah! Back at the bar again we ran into some people from the hostel and the bus wasnt to bad but we got back by 2.... Not really what we had expected? still Like we had a second christmas at the bonds i fully intend to have a second new year! 2010 has officailly begun with lots of sun and sand fly bites!! ( They are the itchiest thing in the world!!)
