Wellington
Yesterday I flew down to Wellington along with my boss for a work trip to TVNZ's Avalon studio and archives and boy was it an eventful journey. In india everyone knows when a politician is coming or passing by judging by the road bloackades, massive police force and security personnel etc. etc. but here in New Zealand it is the complete opposite - at the airport after we checked in we were standing in the foyer waiting for the boarding when Helen Clark, the prime minister - walked past a hand's breadth away from us along with two of her security personnel. It was a bit surreal.The facilities down at Lower Hutt were fantastic, especially the archives but man is it a long ride to get to the place from Wellington. We spent most of the day being shown around the building and also various productions that happen there. After a full day there, we went over to the city for a couple of drinks before the flight back. Wellington is lovely as always and I love the small city feel that the CBD has. Anyway having a few drinks combined with the potato fries didn't bode well with my body and funnily enough I threw up in the plane about 10 minutes before touching down in Auckland. It is not a good feeling when you are sick but I can now laugh at the incident because I made the airlines work hard for their money. The mess I left behind was really terrible. :-) I was lucky that my boss was traveling with me and he took care of me and dropped me off home. I was sick enough for my boss to ask me to take a day off to recover from the whole thing. Most of today has gone into recovery and I am just about coming right. I don't feel a 100% but atleast I don't feel like complete crap.
Anyway thats me for now. Time to sleep off the remaining sickness.
