Had a good couple of days in Wellington and caught up with my friends Lucy and Cindy which was really nice to see them. Lucy and Craig made me an awesome dinner and I got into a Pool Room with Cindy and Nigel in my jandals as the bouncers happenned to be taking a smoko. Went to the grand Embassy cinema near the excellent YHA which is a real picture palace all newly renovated recently. Saw `This is New Zealand` which was made for the Japan World Expo in 1970. Originally it used 3 projectors all running at the same time and has recently been re-mastered onto one big screen. (and the Embassy screen is very very big.) Really cool. Only 20 minutes long and really just a series of images of nature and people with music, everything from factories and offices to forest and mountains. There were also 2 short films, one about the expo and the other a promotional film made in the 70s for the Australian tourist market which was very funny and called something like `Why don`t ya come on to New Zealand`. Well worth it if you`re in Wellington.
