"Ive been in NewZealand for the last two weeks and if ever a country should be used for a Bond backdrop then this has it all. Im back in Australia (again) for another week then im off to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and then the UK if anyone is interested lol. I might use this wiki to inform you guys and gals of any Bond related stuff i may see on my travels. Hope you dont mind. Btw, i already tried to start a new thread but it said there was a processing error so if you see this topic posted twice by me then ignore either one of them or both of them lol. Wish me luck btw."

"New Zealand would be a cool place to do a Bond film. He hasn't ever gone to that part of the world, like Australia or the islands surrounding it if I remember correctly."

"good luck. how do you go to all these places? do you work?lol.

i have always wanted to see bond in a beautiful place like New Zealand. "

"Ayers Rock...nothing to report."

"Thanks beatlehead. By the way im halfway through Colonel Sun by Amis (Markham). Im not too impressed so far. He uses too much sailor talk when describing the boat racing to the island in Greece with Litsas and Ariadne on board along with Bond. I started to lose interest to the fight scene on board because of it. He also killed off two of Flemings minor characters. This seemed to me like he was trying to make a mark as a serious Bond writer and wanting to be shocking etc but in my opinion he was afraid of rocking the boat because i think he really wanted to kill off a major character (i wont say who in case anyone wants to read it) but hadnt the balls to do it or....was told not to....or...lol...he was afraid of how the public might react."

"Probably but an author of Amis' stature would have been given free reign. I could be wrong though."

"Well, tomorrow i leave for Perth which will eventually take me to Singapore. Went to see Uluru (ayers rock) and was impressed. Very strange landscape. The amount of flies ruined it though. I really am not exagerating when i say hundreds swarm around you and land on your face every second of every minute when you step out of the car...possibly thousands. Everyone wears nets but i just wrapped my scarf around me but the buggers got inside my sunglasses lol. Thank God my hotel has internet btw. I have caught up so much with things on here. Great hotel despite being called the lost camel. I bought a card reader so i can load up some pics if i want on my profile now of my most recent trip. I was stupid though the other day when i said i hadnt got my desktop to load pics onto....duh...i have my laptop. Anyhow....in bed now so think i will read a few more of the threads before i turn in."

"Of course koolkikii. Im with you all the way on that one. Well, in a matter of hours i leave Perth. It was a really nice city. The girls were beautiful i must say but alas i didnt have time to try my hand lol. Im off to Singapore next so hopefully when i land my hotel will have wireless internet so i can lay in bed or my room and really enjoy chatting to you guys. I hate these crowded internet cafes. Well most of the time. Anyhow, will catch you all soon from Singapore...now to catch up on a few more threads before my credit runs out here."

"I'm planning on going to New Zealand in December..tell me all the good spots to go."
