Ah Tokyo! You were great. I’ll be back when I’ve saved up a bit more cash. They say you can buy anything you want somewhere in Tokyo, but it is a bit on the expensive side. A great place to window shop.

Shanghai is incredible, well worth visiting – vibrant and growing with a lot of culture and history.

Wanganui is a pretty little city with an amazing river. It has the only earthbound elevator in the Southern Hemisphere (inside Durie Hill!) Also a good place for the kids is Kowhai Park on the edge of the Wanganui River. There are some great river activities further upstream, but in the town itself the riverboat is about it.
Be warned, the people are crazy! Some in a great way and some in a crazy way. But they make great friends.

The Sky Tower, a trip to Rangitoto or even just a drive up Mount Eden are all great fun. Make sure and check out the West Coast Beaches. If you’re a Xena fan there are a few great locations from the series out there.

Amazing city, steeped in history and atmosphere. I would recommend the cemetary tour and cruising on the river. Don’t drink too many Hurricanes as they are LETHAL!!

Spent a few days in Chicago in 2000. A great place to explore – great architecture and public art. The lake was a bit polluted though. Would love to spend some more time there one day.
