Apparently it's against the rules to kiss/be affectionate in Adelaide Zoo because it angers and distresses the animals. Perhaps NZ got a little handsy with OZ during a visit and he literally shoves him off XD
(Fml Jack you always give me the most cursed ideas but this was too funny not to write about u3u, also get out of my ask box I swear you're constantly here-)
Rating: K
Pairings: New Zealand/Australia (Nzoz)
Variation: Canon
---
"Please? Just one kiss?"
Jett sent him a withering look from over his shoulder, grinding his teeth as he thought about how to respond to the whiny New Zealander that stood in front of him.
"No James, it's against the rules."
【Don't Kiss me at Adelaide Zoo】
Whenever James visits him, Jett is fairly convinced that James only comes to Australia to see the selection of animals. And to see him of course, but if he had to choose between saving Jett or saving a rare Hairy-nosed Wombat, Jett stood hardly any chance.
In order to make some light of the situation, Jett always made sure to take James to a zoo or wildlife park. This visit in particular had started out as any other, James arriving on his delayed Air New Zealand flight from Auckland to Sydney. Proceeding to absolutely smother the Australian he'd missed so dearly in hard to breath cuddles and kisses, these sessions could go on for hours. They never failed to gain a few off handed stares from other Airport goers that passed them. Over the years Jett had warmed up to the action of having the breath squeezed out of him affectionately.
They usually stayed in Sydney, Jett concluding that a trip down to Adelaide would at least give them a change of scenery. Of course, Adelaide Zoo seemed like the go too place to take James. You can imagine his surprise when they're stood at the gates together and James blinked at him, a little dumbly.
"Aus, darlin, where are we?"
Jett was rather dumbfounded as he just stared at James. The Kiwi seemed genuinely confused.
"James. We're stood in front of a sign, with the giant letters, A-D-E-L-A-I-D-E-Z-O-O"
"I thought we were goin' to the movies-"
"Why on earth would I take you all the way to South Australia for a movie?!"
"I dunno! You said we were goin' to see somethin! So I thought movies..." James paused like he'd remembered something from the war. At least something along those lines with the fear on his face. "Just so you know Kookaburra, there's at least 2 tons of popcorn in the back of your car."
"I'm sorry wha-"
Before Jett can continue however, he's dragged into the gates of the Zoo. Perhaps a diversion of sorts because lord knows that James knew the argument that would follow when they got back to the carpark.
---
It might seem strange, James supposes, for him to be so fascinated by Jett's eyes. The Australian only giving him a odd look as they stand against the fences that border the Tiger enclosure. Perhaps he had never gotten the chance to look at them properly, they're a beautiful chartreuse green. Somehow they were more breath taking than the striped big cat that strolled along it's enclosure.
"You're staring again, you know..."
Jett diverted his attention from the Tiger over to the lovestruck Kiwi next to him. It wasn't abnormal for James to be hit with these kind of lovestruck trances.
"Oh I know, I just can't help the fact your eyes are so perfect~"
Jett just rolled his eyes but his face said otherwise. Giving him a very fond smile and a light pink blush to his response.
"Please, your chat lines are cheap."
James rested his hand on the railing before fully turning to Jett, Jett's peripheral vision catching James about to lean in for a kiss. Feeling a hand caress his waist and slide across his hips. Almost like his flight or fight responses kick in when he's yanked towards James, he let out a yell of distress and cupped James's mouth with his hand while James was mere centimeters away from his face.
"MMH?!"
James just stared at him in shock, looking down at Jett's fingers then back up at the flustered Australian who had just denied him his kiss. The fear on Jett's face only making him more confused.
"DON'T-!"
Their gazes meet for a spilt second before Jett quickly looked away from him, pushing James back with his fingers on his rough lips. "D-don't kiss me...not here..."
"Whot?! Why?!" his voice was muffled against Jett's palm, barely audible at this point.
"You just can't James-"
"Koala bear?! Normally you love my public affection! That time we made out at SeaWorld and got kicked out!"
"That's the point-" Jett hissed softly at him like he was giving him some kind of classified information that no one else could hear about. He was certainly acting like it too, the way his head tilted back to look around for other visitors, to see if anyone had seen them.
"Please? Just one kiss?"
Jett sent him a withering look from over his shoulder, grinding his teeth as he thought about how to respond to the whiny New Zealander that stood in front of him.
"No James, it's against the rules."
"Against...the rules?! What rules?!"
There's a heavy sigh that the Australian lets out when he finally looked back up at James.
"It's against Australian law to be affectionate near captive animals. They could become jealous, anxious or aggressive. That then leads to them causing disturbance, or worse, harm to other zoo goers."
James just stared at him like he was mentally processing the overload of information that simulated his brain to, figuratively explode. Like a computer with limited space and storage that would break almost on command.
For some reason James just imagined a very angry koala attempting to scratch out his eyes. Which amused him to some extent, making him chuckle and grin.
"So I can't kiss you?"
"No-"
James winced quietly when Jett released him from his restraints. Giving him a rather sheepish smirk all of a sudden.
"Fine. But as soon as we get back to the car, I'm making out with you."
The Australian let out a small snort like he was kidding about that, unfortunately for him, James wasn't kidding.
Jett was suffocated in love once again, in Adelaide Zoo carpark.

Adventures of Sims
So this was my day yesterday...
Got up at 4:30am for an Auckland >> Melbourne flight
That went totally smoothly apart from me feeling like I was gunna faint on the plane (I’m not scared of flying, just felt sick) Ginger beer and a pill sorted that right up.
We arrive in Melbourne and our luggage must have been on the bottom because it takes three lifetimes to arrive. Customs takes three more to get through because the line went on for miles.
So we race for Flight #2 Melbourne >> Perth only to find out it got delayed by two hours because strong winds had delayed Sydney flights coming in.
Flight #2 is all good but we arrive in Perth with less than an hour to get our asses onto Flight #3. Turns out Flight #3 is at another terminal from where we landed and a decent length shuttle bus ride away : ) hahahahaha!
We basically parkour it over to the gate and arrive just as the gate for Flight #3 is closing. Literally, it was sliding shut as we got there. But they got us set up for another flight a few hours from then for free so yay?
We have dinner and kill time before we’re finally on Flight #3 which isn’t long. Get picked up and drive an hour and a half to my brothers.
And that, kids, is why you pay more and fly direct : )
But it’s all good now and it’s morning. I get to hold my new nephew and see my brother too so worth it :’)

1. Goodbyes are hard
The hardest part of leaving my home town was saying goodbye - to everyone I love - for an entire year. It may seem like a small feat because, after all, it’s only a year, right? The thing is, I’m not just travelling across the country to go to university, I’m travelling to a different country entirely. It’s daunting, I’m not going to lie. Excitement and nerves boiled in my stomach since I started counting down at 104 days until I left. Now here I am: sitting on an aircraft, surrounded by 7 other people in the same situation as me, while we wait patiently for the last 3 hours of the 11 hour flight to fly by - pun intended.
The night before was surely the hardest. I still hadn’t come to terms with the fact that I was moving thousands of miles away in a matter of hours. How could I? It’s surreal to think about. Even now, as I’m traveling to my destination, I still can’t quite believe it. I’m waiting for someone to pinch me so I’ll wake up.
If I could I’ve you one piece of advice, it’s to not leave your passport at your house. Believe me, I’ve done it. Hell, I think we all have at one point. Unfortunately, it’s one of the most critical pieces you’ll need.
My flight departed at 6.30 and I woke up that morning at 4.30am. I used to be a competitive swimmer, though I quit seven months ago. Even after 10 years of competitive training, the early mornings don’t get any less unbearable. What can I say? My bed and I have a special bond like no other. My best friend and I carried my suitcases to the car, with the help of my grandparents of course. As we drove to the airport, I still couldn’t believe I managed to store my life in 2 suitcase, one carry on, and a jam packed laptop bag. I thought about all the shoes I’d left behind. Trust me, you’ll want to pack everything, but you can’t. At least I know my favourite pair of studded converses will be there when I get back.
At the Palmerston North airport, I waited for my friends to arrive. JJ, S, Mel turned up a little bit before I was supposed to board. After a lot of exchanged hugs and goodbyes, I snagged a few photos and said goodbye to my best friend, Kenz, who stayed the night with me. My brother barely turned up on time for a goodbye. I mean, seriously, I’m away from a year in a foreign country and you could only just manage enough energy to roll out of bed? Dude, come on.
I felt like a prisoner on death row as I walked towards the plane. A morbid analogy, maybe, but 100% true in every sense of the world. You know in the movies where one of the main characters, predominantly the female love interest, decided to have a life away from the other main character, and the camera would focus on the lead as she walked towards the plane? Then, at the last possible moment, she’d turn her head over her shoulder, seemingly in slow motion before vanishing into the plane? Yeah, that was me. I was that girl. I always thought the people in the airport had it the hardest. After all, they were saying goodbye to someone (me) who chose to leave. They couldn’t stop it if they wanted to. The thing is, as I vanished into the plane, I was the one feeling a rush of emotions pour into me. I might not see these people, even when I come back. Who knows what’s going to change for me?
My first struggle of the flight was trying, and mostly failing, to cram my bad into the overhead lockers. After almost dropping it on my head multiple times, I finally jammed it in. I took my seat by the window and stared out to see my friends and family sitting in the upstairs lounge, trying to find my face in the plane. I felt like a creep knowing that I could see them but they couldn’t see me. I ended up texting them all to try and ease my nerves. By this point only five minutes had passed since I last saw them and I was already experiencing friendship withdrawals. Suffice to say leaving was harder than I thought.
Before I knew it, the plane was in the air. As the plane lifted higher and higher, the weight on my shoulders became lighter. I felt free. Finally after a year of contemplating my future, I was ready to embark on the next part of my journey. Travelling thousands of km away may seem like a bit of an exaggeration for someone who doesn’t know what they want to do with their life, but it felt right. As cliche as it sounds, I know I made the right decision. Mentally, I wasn’t ready to accept the responsibility of university and I’ve come to realise that’s okay. It’s okay if you’re not sure what you want to do with your life. Sometimes the best experiences are those that aren’t planned. You think that I attended high school with the intention of fleeing to England as soon as I left? Hell to the no. I always thought I’d get a scholarship and go straight to university to begin the next chapter of my life. I now know that a break from life isn’t something to be ashamed of, or scared of, it’s something to be accepted. I’m just grateful of all the support I had to get me to where I am today.
Once I landed in Auckland airport, I hit a small snag - the snag being the 6 hour wait until my international flight departed. After a lot of wondering around I realised that for a big airport, there’s nothing to do, especially if you’re alone. I was smart enough to follow the sign posts to the international section of the airport. You could catch a bus if necessary, but I figured I both needed the exercise and time to kill, so I walked. It only time a measly ten minutes. Possibly shorter. I couldn’t tell you really since I spent most of the time snapchatting people while making sure my trolley didn’t crash head on into the curb. Teenagers and their cell phones, am I right?
I made it into the international sector of the airport and I felt my stomach drop. It was that feeling you get when you’re on a roller coaster and you’re about to go down a steep decline, or when the planes initially takes off in the air, only this feeling was accompanied by a swarm of nervous butterflies. No, butterflies are beautiful, it was a swarm of moths crowding around a bright light. That’s what my stomach felt like. This happened as I stood in the entrance to the airport, on my own, bags on a trolley, and a dazed and confused expression on my face. I finally realised I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know where to drop my bags off, what time I was supposed to drop them off, which sector (there were 5 different sectors labeled from A to E) I was supposed to do it. My advice? Ask for help. Seriously. Do it. Don’t wander around like a headless chicken in search of it’s head. Case in point: me. After swallowing my pride, I asked for help. The lady explained how you looked on the departure tv boards hanging around the airport. You look for your flight name and departure time and it would have the sector letter next to it. She also told me you could only check in your baggage 3 hours before your flight. I was going to wait a while for that.
I made my way up to the food court and grabbed a table on the corner. I saw a girl named Jess post on Facebook that she’d be on the same flight as me, so we were planning on meeting up when she got there. For that moment, I was by myself. And hungry. Very hungry. The delectable smells invaded my nostrils and my stomach couldn’t help but grumble. I gravitated slowly towards the food after a good fifteen minutes and drooling. Luckily, I didn’t lose my table. In fact, after polishing off my meal in record time, Jess found me. She brought me over to her family (there was a LOT of them) and we had a good Ol’ chat for a few hours. Nathan and Emma, two other gap students, caught up with us soon after.
We took some photos and made our way to sector E to hand off our luggage. I was sweating bullets as I waited for them to tell me my bags were overweight. By some miracle I managed to slide through with no problems. We handed in our orange card that we filled out earlier and made our way to customs. Firstly, you had to go through this machine with your passport. You scanned your passport and if you weren’t coming through illegally like I wasn’t, a gate would open and you’d step into a small square where you’d see your face on a small tv. It scanned your face to see if you were the same person in your passport photo. Then, I was declined. Shit. That’s all I could think. I backed out of the square where I was confronted by a security guard. I was so worried I’d done something wrong. Did I get a counterfeit passport? Am I an illegal immigrant trying to sneak through? Oh god, what was going to happen to me?! All the panic was for nothing. I handed the security guard my passport who told me to take my glasses off. I didn’t have my glasses on in the passport photo and apparently I looked like an entirely different human being without them on. That’s the goal. I passed through successfully, thankfully, and lined up to pass my things through the scanning machines at customs. Pro tip: empty your damn pockets before you get to customs. I was decked out in my heavy winter gear so it didn’t weigh down my already overweight carry on and I had my pockets filled to the brim with crap. Glasses case, portable charger, phone, passport… You name it, I had it. I had to empty my entire pockets, as well as pulling my laptop bag out of my laptop bag. That in itself was a mission and a half. I passed through the metal detector, only to have that go off. I’m telling you, the airport systems and I don’t gel well. I had to take off my massive winter coat, scarf, and Shawn Mendes sweater that was tied around my waist. This time, I passed.
After stuffing everything back into their original places, the four of us wandered to the far end of the airport to where our plane was. We waited there for a while since our plane was delayed. We were on the lookout for gap students like us and we found one - Grace. Soon after meeting up, and taking much needed toilet breaks,we piled onto the plane, where I find myself now. I found my seat, only to see someone sitting in it. After a lot of ticket checking since everyone in my row seemed to be in the wrong seat, I finally found a seat. One that wasn’t mine, but it was in the Perth position on the isle so I was happy with life at this point.
As the flight wears on, the time wears down. So far I’ve watched a few movies like Suicide Squad, Jack Reacher, Big Hero Five, some tv episodes and eventually have stuck with music. I’ve had two meals so far with two cokes. One fish meal and one chicken meal. I was a bit skeptical about the chicken, but it doesn’t taste like impending food poisoning, so I suppose that’s a good sign. Though knowing my luck so far, I won’t be surprised if I find myself chucking up upon landing.
It’s after 8pm in Singapore now. I’ve fast forwarded the rest of the plane ride. It’s 1:24am NZ time, so one could say I’m a little more than completely and utterly exhausted. Singapore airport could probably fit my entire country inside of it. Was that an exaggeration? Yes, massively, but at least you get the picture. It’s 3 stories tall with tilted panels hanging from the ceiling, creating the illusion that the roof is falling down. Everything is so clean and articulate. Honestly, it’s beautiful. The one Debby downer about this place is the temperature. Okay, I get that it’s 32 degrees C, but there is no need for the humidity that overpowers you as soon as you step off the plane. I’ve never sweat so much while doing so little. The good news is that there is around 10 of us now since we managed to group together on the flight. The boys have gone off to get food, though I can confidently say I’m mot surprised, while the girls are shopping and looking around. I’m sitting here with the rest of the people, looking after the bags. It’s weird because my legs are cramped, but I don’t want to walk anywhere. To let you know the pain my lower body is in, it’s like having female cramps everywhere simultaneously. Oh yes, that bad. We have 17 hours until we reach England, so I can’t wait for that when the adventure begins :) ~ EGT ~

Greg Fleming and The Working Poor held the release of their ninth album, Working Poor Country at the Wine Cellar in Auckland last night, to a crowd that was thinner than me. It was a crying shame there were not more people in attendance, as Fleming showcased ten songs, (from albums past and present), that demonstrated an admirable songwriter in solid form.
Opening proceedings was Fleming’s long time friend Dom Blaazar, whose songs were melodically reminiscent of a Therapy-era Loudon Wainwright, though without the bite or humour. Blaazar has a wonderful voice, and he bore a confident stage presence and delivery that defied the numbers in attendance: he performed the material as though playing to a much larger crowd, and it would be easy to imagine him charming a whole vineyard, much less the sparsely populated Wine Cellar in which he found himself. Accompanied by a cellist, a pianist (who also doubled on muted trumpet), and a tight backline, Blaazar’s songs of love lost and found, (then found and lost), soared and swept gently through an appreciative crowd.
Greg Fleming and his band of (nominally) Working Poor burst out the gate with Headlights, a four-chord blues rocker that sets the tone well. A brutish slide guitar pushes the ricochet riff, helping to add vital texture to what could otherwise have been a smorgasbord karaoke band tune, a walk-in-the-park affair. This band, fortunately, has some serious chops, and to their enormous credit, don’t go in for any of that MOR, extended “blues” jamming nonsense. These lads keep things tight.
Fleming and his band move on from here to the more sedate, country pace of One Thing, before showing us what Chris Isaak might sound like if he spent more time in West Auckland on Flew In From Vegas. For a brief moment on this number it sounded like Dave Long stepped in to smash out an incongruous guitar solo too. I was beginning to really like what was going on here – the band is not afraid to add unexpected textures to familiar song forms, and the pay-off is that a song you thought you’d heard a thousand times can surprise you yet.
Life Is Short channelled Gomez, feeling fun but not frivolous, and it lived up to its name. Short song’s a good song, right?
From here the band took a brief respite, allowing Fleming to fly solo and show us why Townes Van Zandt was once so effusive in his praise of his song-writing. Only Girl I’ve Ever Loved proves at least that Fleming has listened to Nebraska and absorbed its pathos, the sound raw, giving a sense that whatever, or whomever, inspired it is still keenly felt.
Memory & East follows, a song he wrote for another artist and arrives as the obligatory emotional lull in an otherwise charged set. Fleming nevertheless delivers with conviction a painfully derivative sentiment – it’s not bad, but not essential. Perhaps because it was written for someone else, and done so in ten minutes by his own admission, that it felt like the odd one out in this set. The band returns for Last Names and its great to hear them contribute beautiful vocal harmonies on this track, filling the spaces around Fleming’s more direct, fibrous tone.
Broken Lights New Mexico breathes from the air around Mount Knopfler, circa 1985, and in the best story-telling tradition leads the audience on a tale of the sad, the lonely, and the gutter-dwellers looking at stars.
The rhythm section propelled the songs tonight with the compactness of a small block engine, and this drive helps to sustain what could otherwise be described, if you squinted, as derivative, ‘alt-country’ fare. There’s nothing new on offer here, but that’s no bad thing: the songs are very, very good, and the band is clearly having fun with the material. The drummer betrayed his rare misses with a good natured grin, as all drummers should – life is too short, as are gigs, to take small fluffs too seriously.
This good grace, the fun you could see they were all having up there, made the songs stronger, and ultimately it made no difference as the rest of the band were there to carry the pulse, the energy, to serve the song and the songwriter. The gig was a solid showing. Ten competent and confident country rock songs that revealed a talented, fat-free story teller. The band played like they were performing to a crowd of thousands, and I went home knowing I had heard a song-writer that demands repeat listenings, that I had heard songs I want to hear again, to explore in more depth.

These commissions can vary significantly between different lenders and loan products, especially since the commission from as many lenders as possible.

Although mortgage brokers are paid commissions by the lenders this does not alter Mae or Freddie Mac to replenish warehouse funds. Ask your broker about other home loans or credit packages which can then be assigned to any of a number of mortgage bankers on the approved list.

Cycling the East Cape
On the last week of a year which has been full of cycling, we found ourselves fittingly setting out on our first New Zealand cycling trip, around the East Cape on the North Island. As always, a map of our trip can be seen here; https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gezgQeRwTrOLtq1K9bekhNEyqpw&usp=sharing
Bypassed by Highway 1 as it runs from Auckland to Wellington, the East Cape is isolated- out on a limb- from the business of the rest of the North Island, somehow overlooked on the itineraries of most tourists, although it is popular with holidaying New Zealanders keen to escape it all- which should be telling about the pace of life here. This isolation is part of the charm of the East Cape, adding the magic to the beauty and wilderness already there. The small towns and communities along the route feel lost in time; tiny schools and churches and Marae strung along the sea, dozing in the midsummer heat and silence. Highway 35, which runs along its jagged shores and into the surrounding hills, frequently seems to have deposited you at the end of the earth. Life feels slower here. Most people live from the land, farming huge herds of cows and horses, or from the sea. The Raukumara range, which runs through the centre of the East Cape, is one of the last developed and visited tracts of bush in the North Island, one of the last bits of true wilderness there. If you were looking for a break from the tour buses and selfie sticks, this is it.
We were cycling with a group of about 20 other New Zealanders, most of whom were from the same kayak club at university. They were a fantastic group of people to cycle with- outdoorsy, fun and friendly- and they loved the water more than any travellers I’ve met up until now. Everyone would be swimming in the sea before breakfast, and again after we’d reached our camp site for the day, and also jumping in the countless clear streams and rivers we crossed as we cycled. If they weren’t swimming, they would be kayaking, snorkelling or free diving. They loved the water, even when it was cold and windy and rainy; and by the end, Robyn and I (both not too great with cold) were going in the sea several times a day too….Although this might have been partly due to not showering once during the week it took us to cycle the East Cape. Either way, it was great!
The first three days took us from Opotiki out to the Eastern-most point of the Cape. The route here was along rugged, rocky shores and deeply forested hills, which occasionally dipped down to the unfeasibly blue sea. On the clear days, you could see out to the White Island, a perpetually erupting volcano out in the ocean which pours white smoke into the sky. We spent one night- in Waihu Bay, the location for filming the Maori film Boy- sleeping in the front yard of a kind person who offered to let us stay when we couldn’t find our camp spot. We’d cycled over a stream and a couple of kilometres down a gravel road trying to find this camp site, but they didn’t seem worried about the sudden invasion of 20 cyclists to their seclusion, or the 13 tents multiplying mushroom-like in their garden- in fact they turned on disco lights for us at night and offered us the use of their toilet in the garden. This easy-going and kind attitude seems typical of the people who live here.
We spent New Years Eve in a campsite on the eastern most point of the East Cape, which is itself in the eastern most country in the world. This is considered to be the first land reached by the sun every morning; so by watching the dawn on New Years day, we would the first people seeing the sun in 2017. The campsite was set on a windblown grassy hill above an huge white sand beach. The day was spent erecting an enormous wooden structure on the beach for a fire (there were at least 5 engineers on the trip, so this was a serious undertaking), swimming and visiting the old lighthouse right on the end of the cape. The evening was spent in the traditional Kiwi activities of drinking goon, playing drinking games around the beach fire, and skinny-dipping at midnight. Luckily Robyn was sufficiently awake to get up for the dawn, which you can see a picture of above.
The next three days were spent cycling from the Eastern-most point to Gisborne. We spent more time climbing the wild, empty hillsides and through flat fields of farmland, dropping down gravel roads to secluded bays to camp. On one of these, a particularly long gravel descent of 3km, a rouge bull startled by the unexpected appearance of 20 cyclists, started to give chase. Some of us sprinted faster down the hill to escape, praying we wouldn’t fall on the sliding gravel surface; and some had to hide behind a gate until he passed back up the hill, snorting in fright. There might not be bears here, but there are other hazards! Our last day into Gisborne was a particularly fun one, with a gale-force tail wind and long, easy descents along a wild, surf-frilled coast.  
One of the best things about this trip was seeing Maori culture alive and well on the East Cape. We passed beautifully carved Marae (Maori meeting houses) in each small community we passed, and also stopped at the incredible church in Tikitiki, which is a crazy mixture of Christian and Maori artwork; Maori wood carvings and woven grass tapestries, and Christian stained glass and statues. We got chatting to people from Maori communities, adorned in traditional facial tattoos, who were incredibly friendly, offering us their Marae to sleep in. We met others who lived from the sea, fishing Paua and crayfish from the ocean each day and cooking it on a fire on the beach for supper. It was a really great experience to get a chance to experience this culture in an area where it is still strongly influential.
