travelling... what places have you been? - Page 3

Downunda · 02-07-2002, 05:41 PM

Lived in a city called New Plymouth all my life, apart from a year living in Inglewood (small town full of small town people...not my preferred lifestyle).
Apart from travelling to Singapore for a fortnight when I was eight years old and visiting most of the places around New Zealand I haven't been anywhere but I am about to shift to Christchurch to take up a job as a snowboard instructor. [img]smile.gif[/img] YAY

Has anyone seen The Great Wall? Its the most awesome thing I've ever seen and likely will ever see. I was there twice, its STEEP! The part I was on had been restored obviously but you can see it go on and on over the mountains. Just incredible. Just wondering if anyone else had been there.
