I met up with Justin in the common room of the Wellywood hostel in Wellington. The night was already set for us – Trivia Night at a local bar. His team had placed first the week before, so I was just hoping to make a small contribution to their defending effort.
First off, we had a dare to settle, and Justin made good on it as you can see in the photo above. He and his friends (Mark from England, Justin/James from Ireland) were a riot, and I'm glad I got the chance to hang out with them all.
On to the trivia – Christmas themed questions. I pulled out a few right answers “fox” “Serendipity” and “Jingle All the Way” however Justin and John were the trivia ninjas, helping the team to pull out a second place showing, plus a bonus question. The reward? A $50 bar tab that had to be used that night, and a bottle of champagne (which attracted a newly minted flight attendant in a red dress)!
My favorite moment was toward the end, at a different bar, around midnight, when we all sang along to Queen's “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Priceless.

Go dave you chick magnet!!!!!
Is that chick in blue grabbing your chest? Isn’t that supposed to go the other way? Just kidding…
I see three girls… not quite enough yet, but you go you heart breaker you. I just imagine you (the person i’ve never met) rambling around the world, making random Kiwis fall head over heals for you, wandering off the next day, taking only their hearts and a picture with you….
*giggle* Live it up!!!
I think you give me a hair too much credit – though meeting people while traveling is soooo easy. I do meet guys, they’re just less photogenic. :cool:
I haven’t forgotten about your 6-woman dare. I will manage it, I guarantee it!
