Why was it a different day in NZ?

I am assuming because the Thai ambassador was in attendance.

He said in his speech that he was going to be at the Auckland celebrations this weekend so to get him to attend they had it last weekend.

Jeez and here I was thinking you were doing a chopper trip across Aus ... what happened?

Ummm ... just checked the dates ... a very drunken Songkran here in Bangkok

Onya wayne!

The shuttle to Auckland airport is picking me up in 3 hours. I guess I should pack, with a 10kg bag limit it should only take me 5 mins though! I actually just turned on the computer to update my ipod but somehow got distracted!
