Hey,

just came back from seeing Lord OF the Rings, and:

if/when you go and see it, remember that ALL of it was shot in New Zealand (where i come from)! New Zealand is .... beautifull...

oh, and BTW, there is a road visable in the movie... want me to tell you where??

look at the end, where frodo, sam and Gollum are walking through pine forests, look behind them, you'll see a small dirt road through the trees... oops!

so yteah, come to new zealand and spend your cash here! (I'll hold a party in your honour if you come

You probably won't believe me, but I was thinking of e-mailing you to say what a unbelievably beautiful country you have. It's just fantastic!

Seems like you've got all the nice stuff: woods, mountains, sea, rivers, wildlife, bungee jumping, desert...

All we've got is swamp.

oooh... yeah.. The only problem is finding a decent job, whatever you do, don't expect an IT job in NZ. they simply do not exist... well, they do, but there are too many people..

(did you know the ENTIRE population of new zealand is only 3.7 million?, that's less then there are in sydney alone!!)
