I’m in Whangerei, NZ right now at a McDonalds/Internet cafe. I drove from Routura to Whangerei today via the Tongarori National Park (aka Mount Doom if you saw the Lord of the Rings Movies). I’ll be in Wellington tommorow and hopefully take the ferry to the south island. Absolutely beautiful landscape. Amazing. You will love …
Just a quick update before I leave Fiji tonight. I will traveling a day into the past. I have 24 hours to undo everything I’ve done today. I will be issuing updates every hour in video format. I’m calling it “24”. I think the idea will fly. I have some great stuff from Fiji and …
I am not dead. I’ve been in Hawaii this week and took a break from the website. I’ve been going to movies, eating junk food and reading fiction. I’m currently waiting for some mail from the mainland to arrive and for a package I sent out to arrive. I’ll probably be here for about five …
I leave Dili for Darwin in a few hours. While I haven’t spent much time here in East Timor, the experience has been very eye opening. I spent yesterday walking the streets of Dili taking video.

The first thing you must know is that I’m writing this in short sleeves….with a window open. The next thing you must know is that Hong Kong is really an amazing place. It is an assault on the senses. The only place I’ve been which is comparable to this is Manhattan. Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei are …
Tomorrow I’m off to Hong Kong in the morning. My stay in South Korea wasn’t all I had hoped due to the weather. I still have a lot of things I’d like to come back and see some day. Today I was supposed to go to the DMZ. The tour group I was with drove …
I shot a lot of video when I was in the Pacific. This is the first of what will be occasional episodes where I share some of the footage I took. This was taken on Waya Lailai island in the Yawasawa Islands in Fiji.
Today has not been good to me. In addition to the previously mentioned Tonga fiasco, I went to confirm everything at the Tokelau office today, trying to make the best of it. The god damn boat is broken….and they can’t get people from New Zealand here to fix it till Saturday because all the flights …
