This is not a post that will end with “APRIL FOOLS!” but something that is seared into my head and something I am having quite a hard time deciding on.

It has now been 6 months since I freed myself from the shackles of the United States and my old life, but half way through my year-long Visa in New Zealand and I thinking of pulling what people in California refer to as “Flipping a Bitch”

This weeks Photo Mojo comes straight from the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. Very recent in fact.

I was in the San Diego-esque city of Tauranga to see the ever famous and beloved Sir Ian McKellen live on stage. After the show had finished, I decided to wander around the city just as the sun was beginning to set.

Trying Vegemite seemed like a relatively insignificant feat compared to some of the other EPIC tasks to knock off my Bucket List. I saw it eaten on the Travel Channel once or twice before my trip, and though I saw their distaste of the beloved Aussie spread –  I figured it would be easy. No Biggie.

I was horribly wrong…

Remember the good ole’ days when you could hear Nextel phone jingle somewhere in the distance? Two people bleeping each other up for a quick conversation, maybe a joke, or to make plans? It had its practical uses. My brother was ALWAYS bleeping his friends up to say, well, “What’s up Motha F***ka?!”

…But eventually the fad all but died out.

Now, the walkie-talkie has made a righteous come-back.

Recently I took part in the 7 SUPER Shots challenge by HostelBookers. The task at hand was to scavenge through all of your travel photos, and pick out ones that fit into a specific category. One of those categories, One I am Most Proud Of (AKA Worthy of National Geographic), was one that became one of the hardest to decide on a photo for. Now, I am not bragging that heaps of my photos are great enough to grace that coveted publication — but there were PLENTY of photos I am damn proud of!
