Hi Folks,
Good news at last, the container has been released
but not the motor bikes, I still have to find a document in the container but I
think I know were it is ! once I have found that the sc hoot can be cleared as
well !
Hopefully we can go up there next week and
see all our bits and pieces, they have been in there since October 06
.
This weekend was quite an event , with the
art fair in Martinboruogh to come, the IRB rugby 7 , and Whitangi day, the union
of crown and native peoples as they like to refer it to, real though it was just
another land grab, the indigenous people actually had a flag, the crown however
in a devious ploy got all the chief to sign a treaty prior to this one, they
didn't like it because they couldn't exert enough control over the settlers so
they made another one a few year later to gain more control... this treaty is
still active and is hotly debated to this day by the Maori chiefs, whilst the
settlers are 78 % of population, now there are no true bloods left
of the Maoris , the Asian invasion is under way though, mostly from China, in
Auckland most of the people you see in the high street are from that region, its
good in a way as they are a dynamic business orientated people.
I will report in on the events next
week.
