Sunday, 14 November 2010 - One for the Kiwis
At the end of a tiny deserted bar sat a huge Maori man. He was having a few beers when a short well-dressed, and obviously gay, man walked in and sat beside him.
After three or four beers, the gay man got the courage to say a few words to the Maori. Leaning over, he whispered, "Do you want a blow job?"
At this, the massive Maori man leaped up with fire in his eyes, and smacked the shit out of the gay man, knocking him swiftly off his stool. He proceeded to beat him all the way out of the bar, leaving him bruised and battered in the parking lot, before returning to his seat.
Stunned, the bartender quickly brought over another beer to the Maori, and said, "I've never seen you react like that before, what did he say to you?"
"I don't know," the Maori replied. "Something about a job."

Tuesday, 16 November 2010 - Egypt stuff! This one took friggin' hours to put together (much like it did to put the trip itself together), but anyway all the photos, videos, stories, tips, and everything else from our week in Egypt is... here!
Saturday, 20 November 2010 - Disneyland Paris!
Every time I travel between London and Paris on the Eurostar I accumulate points that can be exchanged for various goodies (similar to frequent flyer miles or whatever). One of the goodies is tickets to Disneyland Paris hehe, and as of my last trip I had accumulated just enough points for two adult day-tickets. So Kristina and I were big kids for the day today and set out to meet Mickey!
Photos and videos here :)

Sunday, 5 December 2010 - No more Kristina :(
All over the news this week have been stories of the UK yet again grinding to a halt because of the snow. Kristina and I got the train through to London on Friday night and sure enough there is a lot of it, but you'd think that in this day and age of 2010 a country that encounters the same weather patterns year after year after year would learn how to cope with it, wouldn't you? Anyway, the point of the trip was that after landing here three and a half months ago just prior to our German road trip, Kristina had to fly home this morning (home being San Antonio, Texas). So last night was spent out on the lash with my (interesting) mates, including dinner at a restaurant a table over from Alistair Darling of all people, former chancellor of the UK who many people blame for Britain's current economic situation hehe. At least he appears to be doing alright.
Inevitably though, this morning came around and I had to let her go, and it was fucking hard! :( Together we did the German road trip, Lake Como and the Cinque Terre, Istanbul, and Egypt to name only a few, not the mention the myriad of other stuff we've done together over those months. Currently we have tentative plans for a another massive trip next April/May to cover northern Europe but time will tell on that one, dependant on both her and my finances as we've also got major plans for next September which I'll go into later. In the meantime though, I'm heading back to Paris.

Monday - Friday, 20 - 24 December 2010 (Working in Paris)
Wednesday, 22 December 2010 - Shortest day of the year
Shortest day of the year today in the northern hemisphere (or yesterday - one or the other), and it's Christmas on Saturday already! I'm heading back through to London on Friday, spending Christmas with the mates and staying put that week, doing the New Year's thing in London and then its back to Paris from January 2nd for the foreseeable future :) Obviously it would have been nice to get away for New Year's, but after all the travelling this year my annual leave has been well and truly used up!
In other news, after returning home to Texas not even three weeks ago, Kristina is coming back hahaha! Long story short, she does freelance swim coaching over the summer, and we've made some pretty decent travel plans from September which I'll bang on about later. In the interim she was planning to find some sort of random work to see her through until summer, but figured she could do that over here too seeing as I'm here hehe - good plan! The only problem is she won't have a work visa which will make job hunting slightly harder but by no means impossible. So anyway she just booked her flight tonight and is touching down in London on the 30th in time for New Year's! :)
Ho ho ho!
Saturday, 25 December 2010 - Merry freezing Christmas!
