Islamic Art & Cultural Show

Ah, well this morning I attended what I believe to be the first Islamic Art & Cultural show, here in Auckland. It was small and personal, held in one of the event centres here in Auckland, and it was nice.

They had cultural stuff on display, food stalls, all the usual stuff, and I can see this growing into a diverse and interesting show in the future.

Here are some random photos…

Mangere Bridge Jazz Festival

Small town (suburb) Jazz Festival.

Went Ok, three stages with various acts throughout the day and evening.

I didn’t stay too long, just really popped in to see what the fuss was all about.

A generally happy and fun environment.

Some random pictures and videos 🙂

Korea Day 2010

HI there,

By chance, I discovered that today is Korea Day, and so off I went to the little festival.

It was fairly good, good food, reasonable entertainment, and hot girls with nice legs and too much makeup on… typical 🙂

Anyways, I only spent a few hours there, and got some very random and fairly lame shots as I wasn’t really in the mood.

Here below are the random and fairly lame not in the mood shots 🙂

Things I noticed… Korean People are nice, except when they are in a big group, but I can look past that, cause I was just perving at all the hot chicks with way way to much makeup on 🙂

LOL

Walking and Dreaming….
