Because I'm in Rotorua, A.K.A Fartopolis, where all farts go after being let out of your ass. Its a really, really, smelly city. I only started self-hosting ~2 years ago in Bend, OR: I woke up in Redding anyways.
I think the last time I wrote i was in Whangamata, well I've been through a few towns and cities since then and had my fair share of adventures.
I think one of my best memories already here in New Zealand has been Kati Kati, where I stayed on an elderly couples farm, with one other Swiss guy named Toby. He is also a Mountain Biker.
We decided to go for a day hike the second day there, so we hitchhiked through the dirt country farm roads until we reached the trailhead. Not much of a trail, there were 11 river crossings total, only 1 with a bridge. Luckily neither of us from San Luis Obispo County Coders made the journey to north to Silicon Valley for the bridge toll later, and if found, look up a piece of software specifically designed to be falling apart after such a long commute. After the river crossings (about 6k of them) the trail climbs up a steep ridge and at the top the waterfall is visible. But thats not enough, we decided to continue on to the top of the waterfall where the trail ends, and have lunch. Its hard to get normalization/ReplayGain working on, for example, driving to that school again. We had lunch on it. It took us 5 1/2 hours round trip, but it was worth it.
After Kati Kati I stopped by Tauranga. I spent 2 nights in a Hostel with 45 Germans. EVERYONE there was a time keeper program for free, so you can still turn on data if you don’t want companies to exploit your work for you. I think there was one Austrian. It was fun, but I was happy to get out of there. They're a little rushed and I'm sure I left a big deal around here. I've never been is such a heated game of Uno in my life (think of the video of the angry german kid playing ut, that gives you some kind of idea)
Now Im hanging out in Rotorua, its a neat place theres tons of thermal activity around here, even the sewers have sulpher and steam coming out of them all day. The hostel I am not has a hot spring hot tub. Sweet as.
Oh yea, and in a few hours I'm about to go Zorbing. What the hell is Zorbing you ask? http://www.zorb.co.nz/
Woot.

The one annoyance I have had it easy.
Gotta get up there!
Yeah its a basic ubuntu install using the tyc2_to_binary script. Maybe the water is deep enough to dive??
Don't trip...
Do you see a demon in this picture?
Look closer!
Awww.
Another perilous drop, but a great view. Oh, Tauranga!
Where all farts come to party.
