Behold!

This is a video post. Video posts are like your everyday blog posts, but with actual moving pictures and sound! Granted they won’t appear as often as normal text based posts, but Fiji is full of enough delightful strange things that should hopefully keep video output content to a steady 1 a month. Maybe 2 video posts if I’m lucky.

Our first video post is about a little known ‘hill’ that is well known to many of the Suva people. Mt Korobaba. After being offered a ‘tour’ up by an avid exerciser friend of mine, I decided that both the chance to see the top of the mountain, as well as the prospect of shooting something for the blog was too good an opportunity to pass up.

So, against my better judgement and totally unhealthy physique (with portly stomach) I went huffing and puffing up the mountain with a few friends, a very delightful Canon 5D, and an utter lack of drinking water. Let this be an important lesson for any of you eager to go there yourself: 1 2.5 Litre bottle of water is not enough for one person. Take two bottles. TRUST ME. Nearly had a mini-survivor moment going on there on my way back down when the water finished.

Aside from my severe misjudgement of water rations, I also decided to go barefoot. That’s right folks. I went pato. Up the bloody mountain. Though to be honest, it’s the best way to go up. Because the path is so slippery, you can feel where your feet goes, sure footing that beats having canvas any day. You can file that under personal preference anyways.

So go ahead, give the video a watch. If you’ve got any ideas of what you’d like to see documented next, let us know in the comments.

And yes, the timing of the call from the wife was the real thing, no jokes. I couldn’t have asked for a better ending >_<

Ahem.

If you are a fan of Heroes, and you find the japanese mainboy Masi Oka quite the funny guy, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised that he is kinda funny in real life as well.

Here’s a clip from teh internet teeveez that has Stop Time Boy fishing out from the crystal blue waters of Fiji something that doesn’t quite seem at home in the sea…

Unlike most man-made buildings/landmasses/etc etc, this piece of wonder is au naturel.

Said freak of nature is called Tavarua, otherwise well-known amongst surfers as “Cloudbreak” for its perfect wave form. And, unfortunately, due to its luxurious nature, is inaccessible by your average income earner.

But we CAN eat our hearts out on the images.

Or take up surfing.

Maybe the Hydro-electricity generator did weird things to animals and made these eels humongous. Or maybe they could just be of normal size. But one fact does remain. Weird scientific stuff always manages to muck things up and unusual growth ensures.

I mean, look at Godzilla, the big ass giant dinosaur who became big ass because the japanese (and later the French in that horrible Hollywood version) couldn’t resist playing with bombs. I’m surprised after all these years he still hasn’t ended up on the Japanese’s dinner plate.

Moral of the Story?

For bigger penises or breasts, look no further then your local high school science lab. Unless of course if you stay next to Umbrella Corp. In which case…you’re pretty much fucked

Disclaimer: I can’t really post relevant scientific links backing up my claims of science affecting nature, since I never did well in Basic Science way back in Form 3 & 4
