dunno wat kind of ducks but they seem v relaxed n sleeping somemore!
i agree the swans r quite aggressive.... they swam to anyone near the water even if no one intends to feed them!
Retired bath houses.... Rotorua is geothermal spa place for many years.... guess only rich n privileged pple could visit bath houses in the past....
some old folks throwing steel balls around n enjoying themselves.... dunno wat game is dat but looks boring!
typical motels at Taupo.... dun expect security, a guest lost 2 motorbikes over the nite.
Lake Taupo, the wind was so strong, it looks like sea with currents.
gamers trying their luck on hitting the ball towards Lake Taupo onto a small floating platform..... think buying lotto got bigger chances..
upstream of Huka Falls, not far from Taupo
Huka Falls, as i can remember, the top platform level was much higher 7 years ago.... 
the place to queue for entry n rentals...... so bloodly cold to stand in outdoor long queues! those white spots are snow :D
quite crowded at beginner's slope when top 2 slopes are closed for bad weather....... got pple smoking somemore, yucks!
i practise at kids' area when i find the beginner's slope too steep..... heh.....
joined my colleagues for a weekend ski trip..... so exciting!! first time c snow!! but think my camera dun like snow... it went blank (not fogging) even before we reach the mountains! the above photo is the last few taken by my camera, photos below are from my hp n fren's camera....
ya, white white everywhere......
not expert in skiing yet but it's fun to glide without knowing how to brake n fall painlessly on the snow! hahaha...... got more photos to come after frens share theirs wif me.....
the white spot on the right is indeed trying to get the best employee award.....
