2. I have a new mobile (in NZ) and its number is... +64211850590 OR 0064211850590 from a land line. UK text messages do work though remember I'm 13 hours ahead so replies may take a day!

3. I've been in Auckland now for two weeks and job-hunting as been laborious. I decided to get a bar job but I obviously have to try drinking in each bar before I ask for a job in one i like , I call this 'Job research' so I'm not actually 'out on the piss...'

4. I've met up with the monkey man, timbo. We met in Melbourne where we painted St. Georges crosses on our bellies (and faces) for the England vs Samoa rugby match and got on WORLDWIDE TV!!!! Now my belly is officially famous... tim was right with his slogan...

'You've got a paint your belly if you wanna get on the telly...'

Having said that face (body) paint doesn¡¯t have too much heat retaining qualities and we were a little nippy, though the vast quantities of lager we consumed helped fend off the cold. In fact we got quite pissed, so much in fact that I fell over three rows of people below me (over their heads) and we generally annoyed everyone in a 50 ft radius of us with singing and shouting. MMmmmm

5. After Melbourne, I've grown quite fond of Auckland and have had some good times here! Me and tim have just returned from a weekend with a hire car. We visited a mountain and the volcano / geyser area (called Rotorua), which looked like a film set in a 70's horror/scifi film!

Unfortunately some kids stuck giant 'Sold' stickers on our car and stole the Hub caps (wheel covers to my US friends), and gave it a little dent to boot. Having purchased some new caps and preying to the car rental god we got away without any fines!

The good news is I've had no more lecturious gay men having a fiddle over my western sausage, and I'm not sure I'm missing the attention either... My website with all of my photos is nearly complete and I shall email when i've done it this week.

Steve-o-

official sex symbol of all Vietnamese men over 50! below is my itinerary, and rules of travelling

------------------------------

Steve-o-'s Rules of Travelling

------------------------------

1. If staying in a dorm ensure NO ONE person in the dorm owns a plastic carrier bag as they WILL rustle it at 5am and pack their bag as noisily as the can (usually with the light on).

2. Always carry Imodium, especially when trekking in the jungle and when you have to sleep in a cave full of bat sh1te...

3. When getting pissed, ensure a Norwegian accompanies you home, they know the way to bed and know how to stop drinking.

4. Ensure that you do not urinate in public toilets where old Asian men that have never seen one that colour before may get excited, and do a 'George Michael' on you.

5. Aussies and Kiwi's only go to England games to cheer for the opposing team, do not be friendly to them.

6. You have to 'paint your belly to get on the telly' - T Craven, Nov. 2003

7. When pulling strange, dubious girls, do not take a photo of them you have proof of how bad they were!

.... to be continued.

----------------------------------

Steve-o-'s Fav. travelling nations

----------------------------------

1. Norwegian couples that have Imodium

2. Irish - they like beer, I like beer

3. Canadians - they like beer, I like beer

4. The Dutch - Funny, friendly and helpful, oh and they talk funny

.... to be continued.
