The purpose of our visit to Hokitika was to participate in " Wild food festival"where I found the wildest and the craziest food u can ever imagine... to name the few were ..( lets start from decent ones - venison, eel, ostrich, horse, whitebaits, Emu, .. did u feel that was just ordinary food?? then here it comes possum meat, shark, snails, sea gulls.... Ok more..goat testicles, cow's tits,bulls balls, pig's penis ...I should stop now. Did I try some? Yeh I did quite a few... I tried Emu kebab, oysters, whitebaits...I couldn't go for the hard cores.... And there were lots and lots of alcohol.. It was great fun... to see people go crazy with eating wild food and drinking wild drinks.

Indeed nice photos. Just curious, is there such thing as FUI (flying under influence) over there? There are more females hanging out near Bull's penis. I bet there is a cultral belief that eating Bull's penis boost female fertility :)

Hey Kiwiland...are there lots of nepalis in Christchurch? I have a sister who is spankin new out there. Shes doing a post graduate course in the Univ of Canterbury in Christchurch. Naulo thau ma, it would be nice if she could make some friends and get handy tips from ppl who've already been living there for a while. Would appreciate it if you could shed some light. O btw, the pics are very nice. Heard NZ is a country abounding in scenic beauty.

Hey Kiwiland: You made my day with your pics. Thank you for sharing your unique experience. The closest to that region I have been to is Bali, Indonesia (last year). The Southern Hemisphere night sky is breathtaking! I am (kinda sorta) planning to go to Australia next Spring (your Fall, I believe) hopefully, I will be able to fly to Newzealand too. Also, I would like to visit the land of the Fairy Princess and her fairytale wedding! :) About the cuisine, what did you eat/try?
