Well, the G20 sumit wasn’t as big a deal for me as I would have liked it to be, not that I was trying to comit suicide by protester or anything, but I was not in the office close to the action.

To explain; in my previous post I mentioned that we were asked to work in a different office, away from the exchange, and wear casual clothing. Unfortunately due to the fact that I’m a contractor at work I don’t have a photo ID so I wasn’t allowed in the main building due to security and had to go to another one.

Anyway, on to the photos. There was a protest march which passed by one of the other work offices where I was and I’ve also shamelessly stolen pictures off twitter/twitpic. Oh there was another token turn out on the next day at the main office which I have photos of.

NB: Sorry, I realise I over hyped this!

Last weekend I spent four days in Wellington visiting with friends and giving them time to mourn over the fact that they wont see me again for quite some time. I enjoyed my time as I caught up with some people I hadn’t see in far too long and who I really had wanted to catch up with in a general not just to say I’m leaving.

I made sure to take pictures of almost everyone I visited. Some of them were taken surreptitiously, as people didn’t want them taken, so I’ll be kind enough to not put them up on the inter tubes for everyone to see (maybe).

On the other preparing to leave front I’ve been busy changing addresses, signing over accounts etc for the flat I was living at, buying a gorillapod and suitcase and pretty much slacking at work.

I expect I’ll start “travel blogging” fairly shortly. With so many giggle bytes of photos being taken I suppose I have to show off the ones I like and explain where I’ve been, it will also be a way for people to see where I am.
