This is a double header in a hot and sticky weekend from Sydney, Australia. We get 2 episodes out in shot gun succession while we can find fast internet to upload it through.

Show Notes:
We talk Nepalese food, conspiracy theories of the New Zealand government, Swedish rounding and how we will survive without 5 cent pieces.
Ghada has the sneezies - aachooo!

Hi Guys,
We didn’t get the chance to out out an episode before we left New Zealand. But if you are getting this sometime before the end of February, that means we have managed to find a decent internet connection in Sydney where I could plug in my laptop to upload this.

Show Notes:
We discuss flying Emirates on the trip over, SMS and emails in the air, jet lag and alot of other things I cannot remember!
Hope you enjoy our humidity ridden podcast from the beach in Australia!

Can’t Get Enough of Us?

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

KiaOra!
In case you haven’t heard - we had the chance to be interviewed by the AbFab Ryan at Expat Podcast.
We had a fun time and hope we can catch up with Ryan again.
Because it’s all about Expat’s - Ghada got to talk about life in New Zealand and Chris talked about what else, but his adventures in Thailand. We also explored some of our best trips we’ve taken together and alone.

Riveting stuff! Check it out here

Ciao!

Episode 20 - The Best F*cked Up Stories

Show Notes:
In Chris’ wild happiness at reaching episode 20 - he was adamant that we needed a best of episode. As a loving wifey, I have obliged. I hope you enjoy! Those of you that have been listening to us since Episode 1 know that both Chris and I looooove to tell stories, so it was fairly tough to pull together the best bits. Still there are some episodes that I feel should have been in the show but alas just didn’t make it.

We’ve immensely enjoyed the first 19 episodes and can’t wait to do another 20 more! It’s great to know that we make people laugh and that people want to hear our stories.

We’re looking forward to trying some new stuff while keeping the same style - and keeping it real!

ACHTUNG! I played with the sound as much as I could to try and make it all quite level, but you’ll find there will be times where the sound is extremely low as I just couldn’t boost it anymore.

You can always send us a comment (audio or written) to iheartnz@gmail.com to give us feedback as to what you’ve though of the show thus far.

Ciao!

Basic New Zealand wine tasting à la Chris and Ghada styles!

WARNING: For more enjoyment, play this episode with friends. Everytime either Chris or Ghada says the word “cab” everyone has to drink. The last person to scull has to say “Ken Dodd’s dad’s dog’s dead”…and they then still have to scull.

Show Notes:
We look at the fine print on 3 New Zealand wines and find out some intersting stuff:
Old Coach Road
Monkey Bay
Delegats
Ghada’s tasting notes and aeration method
Chris’ tasting notes “Tastes alot like blood”
“Oh its damn smooth” - the blind taste testing
