Today I decided to start my own project “New Zealand Every Day” (NZED). I don’t think it will last for a year but I will try. And another attempt is to write comments for photos of this project in English.

Today I caught very interesting moment. Mayor of Auckland John Bank posed to photographer (not me) in the centre of Queen Street with a big fish in his hand. Fortunately I had a camera and took this moment for myself. When photo session was over Mr Bank just wiped his hands and went to his office along the street with his secretary.

I have no idea what for Mr Bank was posing in this photo shoot. Maybe there will be something about that in tomorrow newspapers? I will try to find an article with that photo.

    Writing a post is a creative work, a stream of mind. Translating is just a technical work. Let’s leave it to technical stuff like Google translator or Prompt. Yes, they do pure translation but it’s possible to understand anyway. :) Somewhen perhaps I switch to English but wouldn’t write the same in Russian though. Sorry :)

    Khmmm… may be… I don’t know exactly…

    And - “to increase” - how about doubling of all new posts into both lang? (One photo - two texts)

    I have realised that :) But… New Zealand isn’t Russia. Recently one of members of Parliament had a business trip to US and his girlfriend’s fairs were paid from budget (about $12K NZ). When community knew that and said “Ууууу”, he returned all the many paid for his lady to the budget and brought public apologises. ;) Is that possible in Russia?

    Everybody are equal before the law, but some are more equal…

    Do not worry, I simply try to joke ;)

    It’s sort of that. It’s time to increase my presence on the local market. Russian in my blog doesn’t help in this way.
    Yes, I’m absolutely sure that this photo is legal. It’s not offensive and commercial. So… Even in Russia blogger could post in his blog photos of President Medvedev :) Why I can’t do that here in Auckland with a photo of just a mayor? :)

    Interestingly, “NewZealandization” goes deep :D
    And … are this photo legal? ;)
