133: Kiwi Style

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

A quick “realtime” blog since I am sitting at the computer when I had this thought..

Clearly I’m not “In” with my current appearance as there seem to be loads and loads of Kiwi guys wearing beards 🙂 No, I won’t give in and follow the trend but it’s strange to see all those guys with beards 😀

Another style thing seems to be half length shorts and walking barefoot in town.

Funny place this New Zealand 😉

132: Japan Updates

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

While it rains in Christchurch I can spend some time updating my blogs (a mess right now), adding some details about my Japan trip and also send some pictures from Japan to flickr.

Work goes slowly but that’s expected;-) After a day of work I managed to blog about Tokyo and add pictures from Tokyo, Nikko, Chuzenji and Yumoto to Flickr.

Chuzenji and Yumoto are near Nikko but and I went there on a day trip from Nikko but I did not want to mix the photos with the ones from Nikko, it would just get confusing..

How to browse the new photos? Hmm guess as usual best to go day-by-day via the Calendar View.
