    thanks....
    its in New Hampshire... on a lake called Winnipesaukee....
    so its east coast, boardering Canada, we are approx 2 hours drive north of Boston and 5 from NY.... its in the White Mountains which are beautiful...
    Completely different scenery from NZ... cant quite match the NZ scenery but its beautiful in its own rite...

    I'm off in a few hours... so take care all.. i'll be posting about the bike week soon... Nic
    Interesting... mine was in New York state, not far from New Jersey, 'bout 2 hours by bus from NY city. A camp for inner city kids, hard work, but mostly good.
    I was one of the lucky ones, I got to escape camp life for a few weeks when we took groups on biking (as in pushbiking) trips around Pennsylvania, staying at Youth hostels, visiting Amish families for a bit of 'culture'. We lived in the 'bush' (american style that is) in canvas tents, cooked on open fires (mostly...breakie was usually cardboard box stuff), I was lucky i got the girls to stay with. Funny watching all these girls doing their makeup before going swimming, at 12 years old.
    Those were the bits I loved... the bits i didn't were trying to stop some russian kid from skewering some smart arsed yankee kid with an axe.

    ah well... enjoy! And dont slave too hard

    No alcohol?? Damn. Even the no fun nazis at work can't stop us having an extremely well stocked booze fridge.

    Ohhh... stink for you! Hopefully the main director of yours will get transfered to somewhere else (if that's even possible). Good luck.

    yeah, its pretty wacked out with the no alcohol policy this year.. the nearest bar is 17 miles away... at this rate i'll be getting a horse from the stables to get there...oh well... we have had 2 campfires so far.. not many of us here... without being able to go to the pub every night we are pretty bored.... so started playing pranks on people....

    tonight one of the girls from california (who is megga afraid of the dark and bugs) decided to go to bed early... so she started on her way to her cabin.. we all (6 of us) ran round the bush to get there first and hid out in her bathroom, she came in hearing weird scratching noises coming from the bathroom, fearing the worst, she opened her door to us yelling arrgghhh... she was freaked...
    oh well.. day off tomorrow.. going to the Naswa, beach bar... where they serve cocktails in fish bowls and you can sit in your bikini on a beach lounger half in the water....

    It sounds like you've settled in well so far. Be sure you get some rubber spiders and fake vomit on your days off - I can even send you an awesome stink bomb recipe....
    Practical jokes are fun - like many moons ago (it feels like) making gunpowder at school and blowing up a cupboard at the back of the scienc lab....
