Dreams Are Free

If you could do anything, what would you do? What are your dreams? Here are some of mine...

1) Swim with a sea dragon

2) Walk on Mars

3) Record an album

4) Live with an undiscovered (except by me!) tribe

5) Travel to every country and territory in the world

6) Discover an archaeological wonder

7) Film a documentary

8) Win a gold medal for New Zealand, Cook Islands or Korea

So this is a tag of thoughts. What are your dreams?

Messed Up

Earthquakes can be terrible things. There is nothing you can do about them. Even the most developed and prepared countries cannot possibly stop them, look at Kobe in Japan... However they seem to affect the poor most of all as is the case with yesterday's earthquake in Java, Indonesia which is esitmated to have claimed more than 3000 lives. Just what that region needs less of... Coming 18 months after the tsunami killed 100 000 people in Sumatra.

What's messed up you ask? Our local TV news website is leading with Brad and Angie's new baby... The 3000 deaths get third billing. Now that's messed up!

Colour Comedian

I went and saw Stephen K Amos tonight. He is a British comedian here for the annual comedy festval. Unlike the devil comedian (see previous post) this guy was pretty funny. Again, as I only had my camera phone, the photo isn't the best, but it shows that he has a good aura. My phone is good at sorting out the good from the bad.

Babies

Must be something in the water.... Congratulations to Nathan, my blogging friend in Korea, who had a baby boy on May 23rd, just missing being a Taurus by one day! Well, we Taurus' are an exclusive club. Joining the club is my German friend's son who was born on May 20th. Congratulations to both of you and all your family!

Seoul City View

A view from the window of an apartment in which I once stayed in Seoul. Seoul, despite the pollution, is quite a picturesque city srrounded by mountains and with historical monuments like this small park containing royal tombs.

Weekly Animal Pic - Sea Dragon

I have posted about the Sea Dragon before, in my top three for favourite animals. However this time the photo is my own and I think it has come out rather beautifully if I do say so myself, which I do!

Royalty has Called

Your beloved San Nakji is about to meet with royalty. I have an appointment with a princess. If only Mrs SN was not around then by turning on the old SN charm I could score myself some serious palace time!
The princess is coming to visit the place where I work and we are all going to enjoy a cup of tea and some buffalo wings. What better way to spend a Friday?
Better get practising on my bows!

It's Painful When...

I poke myself in my eye.

Yes, I was clever enough while driving to somehow shove my own finger on my own hand into my own eye. The result of which was an eye which I couldn't open and a lot of tears. Fortunately there were no casualties, but thoughts did flash through my mind of crashing and then having to explain to the cops that I eye-gouged myself... Well, that was my day, what's going on with you?

Vampire? Ghost? You decide

The annual comedy festival is on in Auckland and I made may way out into the moonlight to see Jimeoin, a supposed Irish comedian. Taking the below photos I think you will agree that there is nothing Irish about him. He is obviously an evil being with nothing but hate in his mind.... Or maybe not? Anyone have any idea?

May 17th

Today is Norwegian Constitution Day. I would just like to say to all my Norwegian readers how glad I am that they managed to get their country away from the evil grip fo Sweden. Could there be anything worse than being part of a country associated with Abba and... um.... blonde buxom people? No! No, I say!
All the best to you Norway. The land of fjords. The land of Aha!

Mirage

Think this photo is a blurry one of a city? Nope. It's aphoto of the open sea. The city, complete with moving cars, is a mirage, ie there is nothing really there! A rare phenomenon in the southern Chinese city of Penglai.

Another Reason to Hate Baseball

San Nakji was all ready for his great chance of fame in Japan... when my spot was pulled for baseball... Baseball! Oh well, I am still charging them, so it ain't all bad!
