Focussing on the top story. The Selwyn Times never EVER reports on something that happens in Christchurch. The Phoenix effect is spreading. timmymadden2010-01-20 12:45:09

Hard to believe that those drab buildings in the 'mar house academy award winning technology and creative flair.

No, it isn't. (I have a decent understanding of Japanese)

EDIT: On second look, some of it is very rough imitations of characters so. Yes. My bad.Torne2010-01-23 19:48:47

Some of it does resemble katakana (I used to be quite good at Japanese but haven't used it since leaving high school), but I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually mean anything.

The 'C' kind of looks like the Kanji for 'Kan' ie Period of time. The 'K' looks like 'Dai' ie big or large. And the '!' could be the Kanji for 'ichi' or one.

Does that ring any bells with you?

I never learned Kanji, I only did it for a year (and to be honest I never actually attended school very often) because I went to Japan a couple of times with my school + had a Japanese girlfriend for like 4 months. I can only remember words now, rather than the written language.

Some of it is Chinese.  I should know, I am of Chinese descent. The rest is just made up so as to complete the joke

Yes J82 it should, but for the record Kanji is Chinese written language incorporated into the Japanese language.

Shandon Golf club.
 
It is a commercial partner for the nix.  But topping that is its Junior Golf Academy run on Sundays for kids.
 
Run in 8 week modules (one each school term) it only costs $20 per module (+$5 for a junior academy cap).  Golf clubs provided and the coaches provide time for the kids gratis.

Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Didn't get close to Black Lips, to be fair. But it sounded good. So it'll come to Auckland still, yeah? That'd be good if it was in Wellington too. But man, that was so awesome.Such a great time. The xx were sooooo cool and Florence totally rocked!!!!! Laneway > Big Day Out.
