thanks for the kick in the butt JT

i'll be in Africa for the 2010 world cup! that is crazy. i'll be in Africa. not everyone is going to africa. my life in NZ is probably over in april, and after that i'll make my way to either Australia and then Malaysia, or straight to Malaysia. i'm not too keen on hitting up Australia to be honest. unless i get some WWOOFing gigs set up, i'm not prepared to spend $30 odd dollars on hostels.

here's a look at how money works:


things are looking good for my South African trip. note to self: start booking hostels for the world cup.* they're looking really cheap, which is good. but maybe Max has some ideas about where to stay. hey Bryn, as the only person i know who has been to the African continent, what do i need to know/do? kthx.

in other news, i'll be watching the NZ national cricket team play in Dunedin against Pakistan. !!!!! it is a 5 day test match and tomorrow will be the 3rd day. they're doing ok now with like 380 something for 9 wickets. yeah. that's right. i kinda understand cricket. BOOM!

looking back at my goals for my NZ trip:
2. get money get paid (work only when i need to)
3. blog once a week
4. take a picture everywhere i go
8. don't loose passport

i'm doing ok on about 4 of them**, with josephine's number 11 happening in 18 days and 9 hours!!!
i'll go ahead and say that watching the NZ national cricket team is going to be as close to watching the all blacks rugby team play, but the cricket team is called the 'black caps'. either way i'm pumped!
we are doing #5 when josephine visits!!! that is my x-mas present to her. well. one of them.

oo- i was going to write more, but i've been offered another shift at work. how can i say no to that? gotta make those sweet sweet rands.


*crap. i need to wait for the group stages to be scheduled.
**maybe not so great on the blogging once a week. but on average it has to be close.

First, I think it's cool that South Africa is nerdy enough to name their currency after the main character in the Wheel of Time.

Second, if you'd been paying attention to my blog, you'd know that i've been to Africa.

Third, be sure to be in a safe location in Jo'berg.
