Travel companion wanted

Diane from Mount Maunganui

I used to backpack in Asia about 25 yrs ago (I'm mid 50's) before having the 2 boys, now aged 20 and 14. Both they and my husband are not interested in travelling. I have done tours to China (X2) and Vietnam over the past 5 years but don't like tours. Unfortunately I have lost my confidence to do independent travel as it's been so long since I have done so and am looking for a travel companion for at least my first trip to Asia independently again. I like travelling during cooler months so am looking at the first trip around Oct next year with a max of 3 weeks travelling each year. I am particularly interested in visiting Sth Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos over the next few years. Is there anyone who is interested in joining me?

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power

Pat from Welcome Bay

That's the Stuff headline. I have watched on as these commissioners proselytize about how they respect democracy-and now this. I acknowledge Simeon Brown has rejected their proposal but all I see is these commissioners trying to cling on to power and their sinecure at all costs. It is unbelievable-they should be ashamed. Ms Tolley (who does not live here), Mr Selwood who gets flown up from god knows where, and the other two-spare me the platitudes about how they are only here for the benefit of Tauranga. No you are not. You are paid to impose what you think we want. What is that? An oligarchy? Democracy is not perfect but far better than what you propose. To completely misquote Bertrand Russell-let the people think. By the way Mr Rutherford (my absent aka missing in action BoP MP) if you can deign to read this-show some mettle.
