[NZ] New Zealand!

[voicedotter]

unfortunately I'm half way down the south Island and won't be in wellington for any reason I know of in the next year.

[pollywog]

I'm heading back down to nelson on the 18th for holidays, but won't be there for that long.

[Plasmic-Turtle]

I'm a Wellingtonian also... but haven't really interacted with you much on the fora I don't think pollywog? I have an unfortunate tendency just to hang about in the Woman's Thread. Not got so much time on my hands til next month, anywhos. Whatcha studying at Massey?

[pollywog]

I tend to be on here less often than I used to be, so that's probably likely. I'm studying for my Bachelor of Nursing, which can get pretty hectic at times, but I'll be getting about a month off fairly soon.

[voicedotter]

Well if I go to uni next year I'll prob be in Dunedin. I'll post here when I decide which one.

[fredded]

Hello
Another Chch person or two here...


Finally stopped lurking and registered.

[voicedotter]

I have decided I am probably gonna try and get into canterbury uni. I love the HIT lab you guys have at the uni. I also like the courses a bit more as well.

[pollywog]

Well, is anyone still about? I suppose it's gonna be hard to get a meetup without the critical mass of people they have in other countries, but I'm still keen to travel half an island up or down from Wellington to catch up with someone.

Alternatively, does anyone in Wellington want to go to a pub and watch a game? Or go to a game? RWC of course.

[voicedotter]

Not sure. I'm keen to meet up next year while I'm at uni. I'll prob be in christchurch.

[voicedotter]

So any xkcd forumers in christchurch? Maybe we could organize things for later this year.

[teelo]

Wellington here.

[bachaddict]

Christurch area here. I happen to be studying networking with voicedotter, and also know mattthetubaguy.

[suffer-cait]

Will be in new Zealand September. Don't have solid plans yet, depends on what works for people. Feeling you folks out.

[bachaddict]

Will be leaving NZ in May :/

[suffer-cait]

well you're stupid. where are you going?

[bachaddict]

Arrived in Germany yesterday!

[ggh]

Hi! I live in Wellington, though I'll probably be out of the country for the first week or two of September.

Whatcha up to? Business or pleasure?

[suffer-cait]

I'll probably be flying in and out of Wellington, I think, because it seems reasonable. I'm staying on the north tip of the south island with the parents of another ex-forumite (he lives in Wellington though as well, I believe) here for pleasure. Looking at Sept. 2-23ish

[ggh]

Ooh - would love to meet you then if you have the time! - I'll probably be back in NZ during your second hop through Wellington.

The north tip of the South Island is lovely - sounds like a great time! If you have time, you might consider catching a flight way up north for a bit too - it's beautiful country and ought to be a few degrees warmer.

[suffer-cait]

I was looking at it, but cost:tine just wasn't working out for me. I'll keep you posted closer to arriving.

[Zorlin]

Come to Perth!

[suffer-cait]

I plan to, though my Australia schedule is all screwed up tonight now and stressing me out, and ugh. Perth should be the third week in August.

[teelo]

Time for an xkcd Pokemon Go Wellington meet up, imo.

[suffer-cait]

In if there.

[suffer-cait]

So I've come and gone to Perth, and feel like a dick. But I'll be back in Wellington the 21st maybe. If people are available.

[ggh]

The weather might be stink. But I'll take you to a neat mini-golf place if you like. Or the museum or something if it's blowing a gale.

[suffer-cait]

Sure sounds good. Do you whatsapp? Probably pm me.

[teelo]

Wellington here, reporting in safe after last nights quakes. Not that anyone cares.

[Angua]

We care. Glad you're ok. Sounded awful.

[bachaddict]

It was stronger than the Chch ones for us, but still far enough not to have any real problems. Roads are impassable and some houses down nearer to the epicentre.

[Plasmic-Turtle]

Whereabouts are you bachaddict?

Finally motivated hubby and I to get our civil defence kit back together, since progressively raiding the previous one for camping gear, plasters, and muesli bars and then moving flats and having bits of things all over the place.

It's still short on a few essentials

But judging by all the supermarkets having sold out all their large bottles of water, we weren't the only disorganised people to get a (12 am) wake up call...
