Sorry for the lack of updates

Hello,

Ok I have actually had the busiest time of my entire trip over the last two weeks.
Summary:
- Full on week finishing my paper. For those of you brave enough, you can see it online at: http://www.citr.auckland.ac.nz/techreports/show.php?id=206
- Went to Lisbon and had a fantastic time.
- Went to Oktoberfest for a few full on days
- Went to Strasbourg (France) for a day trip... watched the AB's lose, bugger. The town went nuts though!
- Went to Volksfest (Oktoberfest in Stuttgart) for a day.

Now, do you want to know why I haven't updated you on these things?

In Munich, I was going up an escalator on my way to a Crowded House concert... and I got 2 of my fingers caught between the rubber rail and the metal. Don't worry, I came out ok. I only got two huge slices in my fingers... so went to hospital and it was only a couple of stitches, no broken bone and no damaged tendons.

But as a result, I can't really type... so I'll write the full updates at a later stage. In fact, I'm not going to get a chance to write anything up until I get back to NZ.

So once I'm back, you'll get some stories coming through, starting with Lisbon.
You may even hear the stories from me before reading them, hehe!

Really busy last week at work this week... then I'll be off to England via Barcelona.
