[Skinon]

Come to Queenstown for the winter best place to b during winter! can hook u up accom n stuff, and before you think im being dodgy, well actually who am i kidding? im dodgey as heeeeeell!

[charlymelon]

yeah, castlepoint was good, though the wind was quite annoying...
I'm in Wellington now, trying to find a job.


Queenstown.... yeah, sooner or later I will be there! Dodgey is always better than boring, so see you there :-D

Hey charly,

How'd you find getting work there? You been to Auckland?

From my experience checking hostel notice boards is always helpful for casual cash in hand work.

Best of luck.

It absolutely sucks. I've been to Auckland but didn't really look for work there.
Been in Wellington for almost 3 weeks now, just doesn't seem to work. Every time I think I'll get the job, something happens and it doesn't work out. Or they first seem really keen and then tell me no when I call back.
Pretty much gave up Welly now, going to Nelson or somewhere in that direction on thursday or friday. Hopefully I'll find something there. Maybe work in a vinyard or something.
I found,that putting up notices in supermarkets is quite helpful.... Hostel notice board often only have only sales jobs.
I wanna paint houses.... Or do gardening.... Or do anything, but I'd prefer not to have to talk people into buying shitty products that I'd not buy myself^^
Thanks, I hope I find something very soon, need cash for tyres!

Thanks!


Yeah, looks like I'm not gonna stay in Nelson for long,heading on to Kaikoura. Will be in Nelson on sunday though.....And I'm not sure, if there's a good job opportunity coming up in Nelson, I'm gonna grab that and be very happy. Otherwise, Kaikoura....

[charlymelon]

Hi,

I ended up not going to Nelson, things changed.
Now I'm staying north of Kaikoura for a while, in Kekerengu, then go down to Christchurch.
MyGSXF thanks for trying to help me out!!! Maybe on my way back I'll be able to meet you, would be nice.

[Warr]

......, in Kekerengu......

Nice cafe .. Is there really anything else there ?

[Rickie]

Hey Charley,

So have you bought your own bike then? If so what is she?

Sounds pretty cool what you're doing!

In a bit,

Rickie

[MyGSXF:Me]

Take care!!

yep, cbf250 have had it for a while.... its a "he" though, I think, pretty unusual for a bike ;-)

[charlymelon]

yeah, kekerengu has about 3 houses apart from the cafe..... Stayed there and helped putting a roof on the house of my freinds father's house.
Now I'm in Kaikoura till tomorrow, then a day or so in Hanmer and then, finally, Christchurch. Looking forward to seeing my friends there and hope I can finally find paid work....
YEah, it's freezing and wet all the time, but oh well. I will survive.

[Neshi]

too bad I found this thread this late.. Could have showed you around in welly!

Nice choice on the bike, got the same one (although its a 2008) and it's a great bike to get around on.

[charlymelon]

Sweet.
Yeah, I like Wellington...

News:
Rented a van in CHristchurch with my friend, exploring the South now.
Went the typical touristy ways: Akaroa, Timaru, Oamaru, Dunedin, Cannibal bay (ok, not so typical maybe), Invercargill, Bluff, Te Anau, Milford sound, Mossburn (had to stop because the gas station was closed...), Queenstown.... And that's where we are now. It's cold.
But very pretty.
Will go back to Christchurch to bring van back and get my bike - I already miss it heaps.
I will have to sell it soon though, because I wanna go to Australia enjoy the warmth for a change =)
All depending on whether or not I find a job though....

So long CHarly

[charlymelon]
