In which Doug is too excited to study
I am so excited. Two exams down, one to go, but who can give a flying ****? I leave so soon!!!
I bought my currency from the bank today, so I'm all up to date! (There is a bad pun hidden in that sentence, see if you can find it - it's not very well hidden) Euros are very pretty. Interestingly enough, their beauty seems to be directly proportional to how many of them you happen to be holding in your hot little hand. They have shiny bits...
I also bought my travel insurance, so that if I die, I get a whole lot of money, as long as I'm not pot-holing, rock-climbing with ropes, base-jumping or black-water rafting. Apparently there is such a thing as blackwater rafting, if someone knows what the difference is from the white variety, could they please let me know? I am also insured for a "distress allowance" of "$500 for each 24 hours (I am) detained should the public transport on which (I am) travelling be seized by forcible violent means for the purpose of theft, extortion, propaganda (what the?) or other illegal reason."
Oh, and it also covers funeral and cremation costs up to $15,000 "or the return of (my) remains to New Zealand in the event of (my) death." Sweet, huh?
Man, I am going to be the Emperor of Airpoints by the time I get home. My next post will be my schedule of salivatious places I am visiting! Get that mop ready!!!
btw: four stars (****) stands for DOUG.

Whitewater rafting - going rafting where there is white water
Blackwater rafting - going rafting where there is dark water (obviously) There are three ways I can think of to get water black: Paint a slow river black, close your eyes (or would it go red?), or go underground.
I think Blackwater rafting refers to the later.
It sounds pretty cool I think I want to go!!!
