Who just said that?

Okay, so I could talk about us visiting the West Coast and seeing some limestone arches and sampling some tasty beers at Monteith's and seeing glaciers that are actually currently advancing and which have their terminal faces among temperate rainforest, oh, and of course us taking a guided tour ON one of the flipping glaciers (Fox glacier to be exact), spending like 3 or 4 hours on the ice in an amazing world of crevasses and what-have-you, which was like totally mind-blowingly mesmertastic (give yourself high five just for that one if you have to, niiiice!!!), only to take a 6-hour hike the next day, a very diverse one with climbing over rocks and roots and through mud and creeks and over a wicked swingbridge (almost all decent hikes over here have one though) and some flat bits thrown in for good measure and an emergency phone 20 minutes from the hut in case you got wet in the last creek, to Welcome Flat Hut which has some, guess what, natural hot pools right by it to soak your tired muscles and bones in (don't put your head under water though!) after the hike which obviously is just what you need at that point, but that would just be some boring old doodoo that you are expecting to read here and come on, you have had it with same old obnoxious s-word anyway, so I won't even spend any more time telling you we're in Wanaka now, getting ready to do the Routeburn and Greenstone tracks in Mid-March and working a bit since we figured it won't hurt and we're gonna have to hang around this area anyway until then, because I'm just that nice.

Instead, let's talk about blogging. Did you know that the Christoph that's giving you all these wicked posts is basically a fictional character? At least that's how I look at it. I had planned to elaborate on this a bit, ending with the question whether this paragraph here was written by the fictional character or the actual me, but real-life Christoph doesn't really feel like it anymore and we have already spent enough money for internet today, but this is for the other people who blog: How do you see yourself in relation to the person or persona you use to write your posts? Geez, what a load of bull. But remember, sometimes, this is the postmodernist blog. Oh, new pictures too, sweethearts.
