slacking...

hi all

i promise a real update soon... once i get to christchurch tomorrow i will summarize all the awesomeness that has been my time in queenstown.

for now, just a quick little snippet.

i ran into a friend today who was on the Kiwi Experience bus (our rival bus company... "us" meaning Stray, of course... basically kiwi is known as the younger, collegy, crowded, drunken f*** bus) to Milford Sound... and the thing BLEW UP!

not even kidding. the engine caught on fire. luckily everyone got off before the thing was reduced to a steaming, charred pile of metal. my friend lost his backpack with some clothes and things in it, but some other people lost wallets, passports, money, iPods, etc.

its been a rough year for Kiwi... a couple months ago, one of their buses went over a cliff. no one died, but a few broken bones here and there.

So. this is not meant to scare my poor mom or anything like that... but to further support the commonly held opinion that Kiwi Experience sucks. Sure, you'll get drunk and hook up with tons of chicks, but you will also lose your passport in a fiery inferno.

cheers, and more meaningful updates to come,

Alli
