http://twitpic.com/18d87z - $25/day for Internet? Really? That’s more than some people pay per month
Hydralics failure. Plane diverted to auckland. Emergency vehicles on standby. Landed ok. Rebooked for tomorrow
Woot! Looks like I have a row to myself.
Is it unusual for AirNZ to fly from Sydney? The processes seem so inefficient, from writing on my boarding pass to boarding the plane
Bugger. Oh well the seat next to me is still empty.
Sydney: more beggars than Auckland or Wellington. Much less than the US
RT @timhaines: I heard AT&T’s going to turn off their network in Austin tomorrow, so they’re not embarrassed by it going down during SXSW.
LOL, nah! I’m perfectly harmless. RT @Pebblesy: @Shadowfoot cheeky monkey you. Better keep an eye on you :p
Sydney: where the red pedestrian light is even more decorative than in Wellington
RT @mikeforbes: at ~$69 per metre, @pacificfibre is cheaper than carpet (per sq. metre) - I’d pay for 1m if it assured me decent internets!
Sydney: more smokers & less headphone wearers than Wellington. Is there a causal correlation? Maybe it’s just the part of town I’m visiting.
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society says “prisoner of war”. Hah! They really don’t get it do they? Their ends justify any means, law be damned

Sydney: Take a dash of Auckland’s humidity, a dash of Wellington’s windiness, add a pretty, busy harbour, and much architecture of interest
I get amused by the “Is the wide lane right for you” at the train stations
WTF Apple? I can’t download an upgrade to an app when abroad using a different SIM? The itunes account is unchanged, it’s still the NZ store
It’s weird getting on twitter and seeing most of the people I follow have been active for a couple of hours #timezone #vacation
RT @ChrisKeall: OneNews exclusive: the logo on plain Girl Guide biscuits is slightly blurred
Grey drizzly day Leaving Manly via ferry. Had a good beer at 4 Pines microbrewery. What next? Paddy’s Market? #vacation
How old are the Sydney ferries and when did one last sink?
Lunch with a Kolach from this microbrewery. — at 4 Pines Brewing Co http://gowal.la/s/2aDt
RT @JohnJCampbell: Wellywood. What awful cultural cringe. A garish, hand-me-down from someone else’s clothes box. That sparkling city de …
RT @lukeappleby: Why can’t Wellington just work off it’s own fame? How about a sign that just says “Wellington” ? We are our own city, n …

We encountered a beggar stating he wanted money for drugs, and oh, he was homeless. Not the expected level of honesty.
I am surprised how many smokers I see in Sydney.
Breakfast. I want to try the chilli jam (@ Toast Cafe w/ 3 others) http://4sq.com/65UGqZ
RT @nz_d0nk3y: Some people are like slinkies; not useful for much but they do bring a smile to your face as they tumble down the stairs.
Breakfast on holiday - diets don’t count — at Bangbang Cafe http://gowal.la/s/2bKs
More coffee. Is there such a thing as too much? — at Coco Cubano http://gowal.la/s/497k
Wow! The hotel is playing Night Fever in the foyer. What a time warp.
The guy at the vodafone AU desk in Sydney airport told me data would be $2/MB. WTF? I’ve gone with Optus. #needdecentinternationaldatarates
D’oh! I forgot about the RFID blocking properties of my wallet. Set off the alarm at security.
I forgot how slow some airport queues are.

Just noticed a couple of people staring at me, but realised they’re staring at my @threadless ‘interpretative dance’ t-shirt
How do people just sit and wait with no book/computer/headphones to occupy them? I couldn’t stand being trapped in my thoughts that way.
Finally announced boarding of my 3:30 flight. #delays
I guess queues don’t matter when one’s plane is delayed
