Hehe, was sooo thankful for it back then. But as I chatted with my friend who was there, well I felt this 'lil part of pity, that I wasn't there.
NO...don't get me wrong, I'm not lamenting about my earlier release from army..it's just that after having been through all of the exercises with my unit across the globe, I do feel attached to it in a certain sense. Actually...it's more of the experience I treasure, or in this NZ case, what I would have experienced if I were there. But honestly, I had been pretty sick of flying around and having to adjust myself to new environments after last year's overseas exercise stints in India, Taiwan and Thailand.
But really...looking at the pics from my friend's side...it's really beautiful man! If I was there, I think I'll feel like I'm in episode 4 of the Lord Of The Rings movie...titled:
The Return Of The King To The Two Castles For The Fellowship Of The Ring
Heheh.
If only I was there. Well, maybe I should make it one of my holiday points in time to come.
Oh well, in the mean time...enjoy the pics I got from my friend. :D
Mary had....
...quite ALOT of little lambs
Grass that looks so comfy that you can just lie lie down and sleep outfield
If you look properly, you can actually see Frodo and gang trekking...right there :D
155mm gun against a beautiful sunset backdrop
Street of Aukland City
A quiet and slow paced community...sounds good to me!
Even the water looks good enough to drink
Funny...this looks like a view you'd get in Japan to me(If I'm not wrong, this is Mt Rapehu where they filmed Lord Of The Rings!)
