The Eve of RWC 2011

It's an incredibly exciting time to be in New Zealand at the moment. The rush of people has been slow in coming but now everyones here, the place is just buzzing!

It's been an interesting few weeks in my life, I got my Australian visa granted which just lifts a huge weight off my shoulders about where the next year of my life will be and what it will en tale.

A couple of industry drinks, firstly at globe for Mingle with a fluro party, cue getting asked to leave for being too drunk and hissy fit the next day.

Then at AJ Hackett bridge climb and bunjy. Rugby world cup preview party. All industry partys are pretty much the same so not much to say really.

Got my tickets for the world cup and roll on Friday night for the opening ceremony. Luckily I finish at 5pm just as its starting. The council expect over 50,000 to fill Aucklands waterfront with 5 big screens on Queens Wharf, Viaduct and Wynyard Quarter. A fleet of Waka's arriving followed by a 600 man strong haka, speech from prime minster John Key and mayor Len Brown. followed by Tonga's humiliation of the All blacks (hopefully, as new zealand fans are going into this tournament so arrogant of their success).
