    Back to the south island

    Well as some of you know last year i went down the south island, this was following an offer from Subike on KB to work the vineyards with him, there is something very alluring about the south island, once again the rat race in auckland and the lack of jobs up here is growing tiresome.

    It is far from pruning season but i am tempted to head back down there.

    A little more set up this time, last time i went to the south island with nothing but a bag and $70 to my name, i came back with an experiance i will never forget and meeting some bloodey good people along the way... and the katana came back to, this time it would be a drive down, probably live in my trusty toyota corona for a week or so until i got on my feet down there...

    Can anybody reccomend good suburbs in chch, not complete upper class but more a family type area, where you can walk down the street at 3am without getting mugged by skinheads lol, either that or i will live up in amberly and work the vineyards etc year round

    It's all up in the air at the moment, with my sisters wedding at the start of next year and my beloved project car would have to be sold.


    what can i say i guess i cant sit still for long...

    Its safe to walk our streets at 3am as long as you dont have an attitude. Come down and sign up with a temp agency - plenty of work on offer. Good luck if you come down again.

    Yeah i'm one of those people that has that victim look to them apparently, been in a few streets fights up here in auckland, but also be good to have a safe area where i dont have to worry about coming home to a cleaned out house and garage etc....

    yeah i'll do a bit of a job hunt before i come down, what do the temps get down to overnight in summer, last year i was only down for winter

    Cheers: Mark

    Ask Subike he was the one you gained the experience from. Get over your differences. Listen to his advice grasshopper

    If you did you wouldn't be heading back down in a faaarkin cage.

    We get some nice warm nights over summer, lots to do and heaps of other bikers to catch up with. Lots of good quiet family type areas to live in. Depending on where you end up working.
