He'd just been bungee jumping from Auckland Bridge and wanted us to know he'd survived.Hmm. Actually you can also jump off the Sky Tower which is the tallest building in the Southern hemisphere. If he has time, that might be worth a leap.
If he's wandering around, tell him to give me a call. I live on an extinct volcano with a walking track to the top and exceptional views without the usual tourist buses cluttering it up.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
