So after the night before the lads woke up really early in the morning to the sound of me being sick everywhere... several times.
I finally plucked up the strength to get out of bed and jump in the shower to get ready for the day trip. I was feeling ridiculously rough, might have been something to do with the several teapots of cocktails i was downing last night, oh and the jaegerbombs too.
So we got on the bus with a few heavy heads and fragile stomachs. Got introduced to Speedo as we were waiting for Nathan (Dribbles). When we finally met up with Dribbles we gave him some stick for leaving the night early! I think the chants were something like "Soft Cock! Soft Cock!".
First stop was down to the Harbour where we shown where the rugby superstore, main supermarket, bars and the dolphin/whale excursions where. Next stop was back up Mt. Eden again. I remembered my camera this time and got some great snaps of the surrounding area!
Next stop was some memorial thing the otherside of Auckland, i spent most of the time being sick in the toilet so I couldnt tell you what it was about!
We then went to mission bay and had a race down to the sea and yours truely won $100 for his efforts, nice! The sea was gorgeous and the view out to the islands was awesome.
After mission bay we drove up to Auckland Harbour Bridge where we did the walk across it, Me and James decided it would be a good time to take our shirts off and soak up some sun... We didn't realise we were walking underneath the bridge and in shade where the wind was whipping about, if nipples could cut ice.
After the Harbour bridge we drove up to an old ale house, unfortunately I couldnt quite appreciate the beer as even at this time in the afternoon I was still ridiculously rough!
We got back late in the afternoon and I pretty much went to bed straight away to get some sleep for the booze filled beach trip the next day.

Orientation - 23rd February
We didn't go out last night, just chilled in the hostel and looked a photos from the past few days.
Had to get up early and had across to the main building to attend an orientation. It was just 4 hours of advice and giving us ideas of what to do while we are over here. 1 of the main things they spoke about was 'Stray' which is an adventure bus taking us around the whole of NZ in a hop on - hop off style, sounds cool.
We all booked ourselves onto the free Auckland day trip for the next day.
We went back to the hostel, grabbed some food in the food court over the road and got ready to go out with some of the tour guides. We started off at this pub around the corner called 'The Bluestone Corner Room' it served some really quality beer. I met up with an old friend called Loiuse in there and her mate Julie. After a few we moved onto somewhere called 'The Fat Camel'. It was just a small bar with a pool table and after an hour or so me and matty joined in a sex position game with a few others. Its pretty safe to say we were drunk and therefore really crap at it so we ended up with all our clothes off, as per usual!.
When we had finally put our clothes back on, Nathan (one of the Stray tour guides) took us to a place called 'Cassette 9' which was quality. It had good cocktails and good music. We stayed there til the early hours of the morning before heading back to the hostel.

To Go Out Or To Not Go Out - 22nd February
A bit of a chilled out day today. Landed in Auckland about half 1 after a 10 and a half hour flight, so that's now about 23 hours flying.
First thing we did was go up to Mount Eden (less of a mountain and more a big hill really) The 360 degree views around Auckland were stunning. Stretching out across the harbour, eden park and pretty much every thing else in sight. The weathers gorgeous and the desicion to wear tracksuit bottoms and a rugby time was a bad one!
We left Mt. Eden and went to our Hostel where we are staying for 2 nights. Its situated right in the city centre only 5-10 minutes walk from the harbour.
After checking in, Me and Danny and Matt walked down the main street looking at the shops and searching for a nice place to sit down and eat. Only a few streets down from Waitemata Harbour we found a snazzy bar called Traffic. We all ordered pizzas which were fit then sat outside with a pint in the late afternoon sun, niiiiiice!
Its about half 9 now and the past few days have taken it out of us and we now face a dilemma of going to the bar with the others or just chilling in our room and having an early night?
I'm sure if we stay in, I can get a good hours giggling on the go by looking through photos from Hong Kong

"Kaw! Kaw!" 21st February Part 2
Lyona (our tour guide) arranged for us to visit a Buddhist temple then later Jade Market. The temple was a wierd experience for us, there was loads of little chinese
people walking round burning twigs and small windmills above their heads (so about shoulder height on the BFG) We shared a few jokes and giggles there. For example;
when we were walking through the smoke we realised why chinese peoples eyes are wider... Because they have to squint so much with the burning of insensce.
We also came up with a way of making sure no man was left behind or separated from the wolfpack. We would call "KAW! KAW! Outcasts Assemble" at the top of our voices.
That had now been added to our phrasebook which also included doing the star trek fingers whilst shouting "Nehow!" which is Hello in chinese. On the way to Jade market we stopped at another temple where we did some pretty aimless walking. Not what we wanted when we were hanging out of our arses! The coach tour was brutal, it was boiling hot inside, we were extremely tired, had poorly stomachs, banging headaches and Lyona's constant droning on really wasn't helping our heads in the slightest. Some of us were feeling like our dignity had been
taken away from us aswell but we won't name names. More stories came out from the night before which made me and Jack really regret not going with everyone to the strip bars where
Danny got a couple of lap dances and then hired her as a hooker later on. This was all being charged to Sam's company credit card aswell! I don't think anyone sampled Jade Market which was probaly to Lyona's disappointment as she wouldn't shut up about it all day!
After Jade Market we were taken to the airport to check in and catch our flights to either New Zealand or Australia. It was at this point it started to sink in that the 6 of us were going to split in half for the remainder of our time (Me, Danny and The BFG going to NZ. Sam, Jack and the social butterfly that is Ben going to OZ).
this led to more jokes about the wolfpack and the outcasts, atleast the attention was off my antics the night before. We didn't really do much in the airport, just sat around on our laptops and Ipods chatting on facebook and sharing stories about back home. We saw the Kiwi girls again in the airport aswell which was funny. Me and Jack were let off by the other lads when
they saw how good looking they were, phew.
Jack was coming out with some great shouts aswell! That umpa lumpa southerner doesn't half keep us laughing. I think the best shout was when he believed us that if you press CTRL + ALT whilst turning your laptop, the screen turns with you.
Sam, Jack and Ben walked us to our departure gate where we just sat down and played cards till the queue had pretty much gone. We made a pact there and then that we would
make a serious effort to go to the other country to have some more nights out with eachother again!
Here we are now, on the plane flying over the pacific islands. It has been a great 3 days and 2 nights in Hong Kong and if they rest of my time in this part of the world
is even half as good as those days then im in for one wild ride! the 3 remaining wolves going to NZ made a pact that we would look out for eachother and help get us settled the first couple of weeks. It's not too often you meet 5 other lads that are so alike in their mindset and attitude which made the past few days so enjoyable. It's a shamethat we're not all going to the same place but hey, the show must go on.

"I've Never" 21st February Part 1
So yeah, we did go out last night and it was, as it always was going to be, very eventful!
We started much later than we originally planned to due to a severe lack of get-up-and-go. The first Lord Of The Rings films came on telly about 8ish which is what probaly caused us to take it easy. 11 oclock came and we were ready to go out and party on down.
I knocked next door whilst Danny and The BFG put the finishing touches to their outfit. Ben answered and invited us round to play some drinking games as a pre-lash.
We duely obligued and quickly darted off to the 7 Eleven to get some drink in. On the way back up we knocked by Sam and Jacks room and told them about the plan.
They were shocked and disgusted that we had taken the plunge and decided to make new friends (this is all in jeste like).
Me, Danny and The BFG came in the room to see that it was absolutely rammed and we hadn't exactly spoken to most people in the room. Guess that's the result of creating our own Lads group. After about an hour of mingling we found that these guys wern't so boring as we first thought, they are really outgoing (still not as much as us, or crude, loud and outspoken). We got a quick fire drinking game on the go as we didn't have much time to hit town, you may have heard of it.
'I've Never'. Yes, that game were you state something you havn't done and if others have then they drink which always ends up being sexually orientated.
I won't embarass anyone by disclosing some home truths but there were some classics in there and a lot of drink got drunk. I went through a bottle of vodka and cordial pretty quickly aswell!
So we all left the flat feeling pretty hammered and in such a good party mood. On the way to the subway station we were singing songs and being generally loud and dare I say it, fairly flirty. As per usual we were having problems getting our tickets and our current state probaly wasn't helping in any way shape or form! The journey was fairly simple and didn't take too long, it was just under the water to 'Hong Kong Central'. When we got there we again began to be typical brits abroad, some of the highlights included a massive fail of Sam giving me a piggy back up the escalator, this involved me slowly slipping down him until I was basically around his ankles. Robbing peoples shoes and running off with them. stealing little chinese people... again. We seemed to fit into the group really well (im sure the social butterfly Ben has some part in this)
and 'The Outcasts' (which we are now referring to as the wolfpack. reference to 'The Hangover' there) were undoubtadly the life and soul of the party. It took us quite awhile to find our way around and find clubs but we got there after me and Ben recognised somewhere where we had pissed the night before!
My memory again fades quite badly again but I shall try my best to inform you of the antics. I think we went to one place together and after abit me and Jack had caught the attention of a few Kiwi Girls, after a bit of talking and flirting we relocated to another bar and informed the others of this event. We carried on talking and buying their drinks as guys should do. Some of the others came in and told us they were going somewhere else (strip clubs). Me and Jack seemed
to look at eachother, look at the girls then look back to the lads and instantly knew our plan... stay with the kiwi girls.
We left this place and one of the girls who had been out in HK for awhile told us she had been to this amazing bar a few weeks ago and we should go. We thought, hey why not.
It was looking dodgy when she was taking us down these back alleys and then we seemed to be walking along a walkway a few floors up which resembled more of a balcony.
Took a sharp left into this small entrance which in all honestly looked very dingy. She gave us some fur coats so we put them on with puzzled looks on our faces.
She opened the doors and to our amazement it was an ice bar! the place was freezing with proper ice all around but the coats kept us warm. We proceeded to drink some more
then headed off to this bar with a band playing. We got to the front and got some drinks in then went the toilet. I came back and could not find anyone! I don't remember the next half hour but I think I left and was looking for the girls and Jack (never leave a fellow wolf behind) the girls came out the bar and told us Jack had left looking for me.
They quite nicely asked me if I wanted help finding Jack and my friends. We went back to the main street and I thought I saw my friends so said goodbye to the girls. I walked up to this group of people to find out that they were a group of Yanks, not my friends. I think one of them was german and I think I pissed him off abit, something about the world cup and 2 world wars. I then went with these yanks to another bar which was 25 floors up this building. After awhile I looked at my balance in my wallet to see I had 10 dollars left (about £3). oops. So i was walking round asking people if they were going back to Kowloon. I then thought fuck it, i'll get a taxi and leg it at the end. A british ex-pat took pity on me and said he would get a taxi with me to Kowloon and pay for it. He was a really nice guy so I gave him my email address and said if he hits up NZ to come and have a drink with us. I got back to the hotel unscaved and went up to the room only to realise I didn't half a room key. Luckily Ben's room was open so i just strolled in to see there was quite a few people in there. They had stayed in the room all night, we laughed at me mainly, for a few hours.
Rosie, Ben, Claire and Perth guy then came back. Apparently they only had enough money to get the taxi as far as the tunnel from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon.
The walk from the tunnel is about 1 and a half hours, which we all found pretty amusing when they told us. Their night was pretty eventful aswell, they all went to Joe Bananna's (the club we tried to get into the night before) and got thrown out for getting naked and dancing on the bar! Don't you just love Brits abroad!
Danny and The BFG came stumbling back to the hotel quite awhile later. I forget what their night consisted of but I will find out as im sure it was as fun filled as the others.
Claire and the guy from Perth got kicked out of their room for getting it on, which is fair enough. He shortly left the hotel to go home which is where I picked up the proceedings once the guys had left the room. To my amusement about an hour later I found out that Danny, Ben and The BFG decided that they would leave us in peace but not by going into the rooms. They thought they would have a peek show through where the door was left ajar. Later on in the morning we went down to get some breakfast but it's pretty safe to say that none of us could stomach it and called it quits. I thought I was going to get away lightly on the banter front, oh how I was very wrong!
The plan was to then get a shower and go have breakfast at McDonalds whilst several bits of banter where being thrown my way about the situation and the scratch marks
left on my body!

I Love Hong Kong! 20th February
so its coming the end of the 2nd day for me in Hong Kong and so far its been. How should I put it... Fucking Awesome! Yeah that sounds about right.
We landed about half 6 in the morning so i did abit of tactical sleeping on the flight to adjust my sleep pattern. Watched abit of 300, law abiding citizen and funny people on the plane.
first thing we did was hope on the coach taking us to the hotel. The views from the coach were amazing even though there was some really thick fog. The landscape is breathing, mountains everywhere with high rise buildings dotted around (theres one on our island theres an apartment building going up 83 floors!)
We got to the hotel about half 8 so couldn't check. a few of us decided to go and get some breakfast and found an irish pub next door. What better than a full english breakfast buffet!
the 6 of us (me, danny, matthew the BFG, jack, james and ben) made plans for the day there, finished our drinks and left.
1st thing we decided to do was to catch the train to see the big budda on Hong Kong island which was bigged up quite abit. We struggled quite alot with the tickets and train which was hilarious! (especially when you are taking the piss out of the locals) we had to change at 'Lai King' but not before passing a few stations, for example 'Mong Kok' which provoked a few giggles.
We got to Tung Chung were the cable car up the mountain was. We were getting a few looks off the locals (being the only brittish people around) a couple of chinese girls got a few pictures of us which was funny.
the view from the cable car across the island and the airport with the backscene of the mountains and see were awe inspiring. About half way up the fog closed around us and for about 15mins there was nothing to see but white.
At the top we got off and started walking up hill towards the buddy. We bumped into the others and they warned us that it was abit of a trek and the fog stopped us seeing the budda.
We ignored them and carryed on. They were right. After climbing up 300 steps, pausing for cramp, we took a short break to take pictures and admire the budda.
On the cable car on the way we got stuck and was in limbo for atleast an hour which was annoying!
We got back to the hotel, checked in and decided to meet back downstairs at half 6 to start boozing. Me, Danny and The BFG decided a short nap was in order. Unforunately we slept through our alarm and didnt get up and start boozing in murphys until half 8.
Us 3 walked into murphys to meet up with the other 3, to find that everyone else decided to get a meal which meant us 6 were left to our devices. This event marked the beginning of the 6 of us labelling ourselves the Outkasts! About 11 oclock we decided that we would jump over to Hong Kong island and hit the bars. We had to get the ferry over but not before James got stopped by the police for jay walking!
The view of both Kowloon and Hong Kong was like a light show! we got there and hit the bars straight away and within a hour Jack had pulled and I had my balls cupped... classy place!
we hit a few more bars and looked into going to a strip club or getting a chinese massage ;)
James decided to get a tattoo on the spur of the moment on his neck, i was very very very tempted.
We jumped into a taxi and relocated somewhere else, which was a great shout! my memory fades from here but im told it was a good night, purely because Ben had blood all over him!
woke up bright and early this morning and giggled about last night with the lads before grabbing some breakfast at maccie d's.
We had a couple of hours to spare so we took a stroll around to take it all in. You don;t half feel tiny compared to 60 floored buildings everywhere.
we got back to the hotel to meet up for our tour around Hong Kong. 1st placed we visited was Victoria Peak to get a better of the city which was amazing! Again the 6 of us got disconnected from the group and the back of the bus our home from home. The Outkast thing is really getting hilarious at this point but hey, we went out last night and had a whale of a time whilst they got some drink and stayed in their rooms, exciting!
The next stop was Stanley Market. The Outkasts took a stroll round to get some food and that. Put 6 lads together and let them stubble upon a football cage and you have a recipe for good times! These 5 local lads offered us a game of football, the start of a very very funny hour!
We went 2-0 down but then started to get into the swing of things and play some proper sexy football. The BFG was our target man (he was like 2ft taller than the rest) we then stormed to a 7-3 victory! We attracted quite a crowd aswell, im not sure whether it was the sexy football or the fact we all had our tops off and started playing a few side games. I decided the appropriately named chinese tiny tim was coming home with me so i could cook a lovely pie with him. He was a slippery bugger and had me and james chasing him around stanley market to the amusement of the locals.
Next stop was our meal which was distincly average. The Outkasts were split up and had to fend for ourselves within 'the group'
Now we find ourselves back at the hotel preparing for another night out but this time I am led to believe 'the group' our coming out. So i leave you with a question...
Can they keep up with The Outkasts?
We shall see

The landscape is breathing, mountains everywhere with high rise buildings dotted around (theres one on our island theres an apartment building going up 83 floors!)
We got to the hotel about half 8 so couldn't check. a few of us decided to go and get some breakfast and found an irish pub next door. What better than a full english breakfast buffet!
the 6 of us (me, danny, matthew the BFG, jack, james and ben) made plans for the day there, finished our drinks and left.
1st thing we decided to do was to catch the train to see the big budda on Hong Kong island which was bigged up quite abit. We struggled quite alot with the tickets and train which was hilarious! (especially when you are taking the piss out of the locals) we had to change at 'Lai King' but not before passing a few stations, for example 'Mong Kok' which provoked a few giggles.
We got to Tung Chung were the cable car up the mountain was. We were getting a few looks off the locals (being the only brittish people around) a couple of chinese girls got a few pictures of us which was funny.
the view from the cable car across the island and the airport with the backscene of the mountains and see were awe inspiring. About half way up the fog closed around us and for about 15mins there was nothing to see but white.
At the top we got off and started walking up hill towards the buddy. We bumped into the others and they warned us that it was abit of a trek and the fog stopped us seeing the budda.
We ignored them and carryed on. They were right. After climbing up 300 steps, pausing for cramp, we took a short break to take pictures and admire the budda.
On the cable car on the way we got stuck and was in limbo for atleast an hour which was annoying!
We got back to the hotel, checked in and decided to meet back downstairs at half 6 to start boozing. Me, Danny and The BFG decided a short nap was in order. Unforunately we slept through our alarm and didnt get up and start boozing in murphys until half 8.
Us 3 walked into murphys to meet up with the other 3, to find that everyone else decided to get a meal which meant us 6 were left to our devices. This event marked the beginning of the 6 of us labelling ourselves the Outkasts! About 11 oclock we decided that we would jump over to Hong Kong island and hit the bars. We had to get the ferry over but not before James got stopped by the police for jay walking!
The view of both Kowloon and Hong Kong was like a light show! we got there and hit the bars straight away and within a hour Jack had pulled and I had my balls cupped... classy place!
we hit a few more bars and looked into going to a strip club or getting a chinese massage ;)
James decided to get a tattoo on the spur of the moment on his neck, i was very very very tempted.
We jumped into a taxi and relocated somewhere else, which was a great shout! my memory fades from here but im told it was a good night, purely because Ben had blood all over him!
woke up bright and early this morning and giggled about last night with the lads before grabbing some breakfast at maccie d's.
We had a couple of hours to spare so we took a stroll around to take it all in. You don;t half feel tiny compared to 60 floored buildings everywhere.
we got back to the hotel to meet up for our tour around Hong Kong. 1st placed we visited was Victoria Peak to get a better of the city which was amazing! Again the 6 of us got disconnected from the group and the back of the bus our home from home. The Outkast thing is really getting hilarious at this point but hey, we went out last night and had a whale of a time whilst they got some drink and stayed in their rooms, exciting!
The next stop was Stanley Market. The Outkasts took a stroll round to get some food and that. Put 6 lads together and let them stubble upon a football cage and you have a recipe for good times! These 5 local lads offered us a game of football, the start of a very very funny hour!
We went 2-0 down but then started to get into the swing of things and play some proper sexy football. The BFG was our target man (he was like 2ft taller than the rest) we then stormed to a 7-3 victory! We attracted quite a crowd aswell, im not sure whether it was the sexy football or the fact we all had our tops off and started playing a few side games. I decided the appropriately named chinese tiny tim was coming home with me so i could cook a lovely pie with him. He was a slippery bugger and had me and james chasing him around stanley market to the amusement of the locals.
Next stop was our meal which was distincly average. The Outkasts were split up and had to fend for ourselves within 'the group'
Now we find ourselves back at the hotel preparing for another night out but this time I am led to believe 'the group' our coming out. So i leave you with a question...
Can they keep up with The Outkasts?
We shall see
