Sky Towering

Auckland Sky Tower, the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. I have taken many a photo of this 328 metre marvel
Here's one
Here's another

On Saturday I decided to go and see what the view is like up there.



Well, it looks a lot like this...
There are two (3, but one is a bar/cafe) that you can look out over Auckland. The top one is the Sky Deck, which is 220 metres up and has windows, but of course it's what's outside the windows that matters
Pictured: Miles of stuff all far away



Here's a guy doing the sky jump

I couldn't see London from here because I'm on the other side of the planet, duh!

It's pretty cool being up that high, fortunately it isn't too expensive a tourist attraction as finances are something that I am steadily losing control of, but that's another story and no where near as good as a picture of me squatting on some glass about 200 metres above the ground.

After standing on the shoulders of a giant building I had a quick email check at the library, no replies from full time jobs yet... Which sucks.

Later I would watch the All Blacks kick some wallaby arses 22-0 in 'The Championship' (which is like the Southern hemisphere's 6 Nations, except there are 4 nations across 3 continents)
D'you like Daggs?
Good stuff. Although I've never understood why Australia call their rugby union team 'the wallabies'. I've seen a wallaby, they're not much bigger than a rugby ball and they run away a lot, hardly the kind of image you want a rugby team to have.
Unless you want the opposing team to just say 'Awwww'
Today I'm job hunting again and planning various plans that will become active depending on certain circumstances. It's all very complicated, but it all boils down to 'I get a full time job, if not I go home'. For more details I have taken the time to go into detail regarding the realisation that I am not really financially stable enough to realistically keep travelling.
