I lived in 6 Wright Street late 1950's till late 1967 those were the days now Wainui looks more like a yuppie town. Wainui back then was called nappy valley and where i lived only 3 house's in the street. I went to Wainui Primary then to Glendale.
Thanks! Remember Wrights Road well. I think that’s where we used to go on our driving tests to do a hill start! My parents moved to Wainui with me in 1964. Very much Nappy Valley then!
Awesome clip Lion. Hope you carry our roar wherever you lay😊 Mauri ora e hoa
Chur Bro! I definitely carry the flag! Thanx for feedback ❤
The green grass of home. Arakura kindy late 70s, Pencarrow school the 80s, wainui intermediate 87/88, then wainui college 89, 3rd form through to 7th form. Best mates, music, and cars. 56 dover road was for mischief boys back then too. The boys home lol. Played league growing up over there, a few stints with the local metal band as drummer. Me and my mates teaching ourselves how to drive in my mums car lol 3am to 5am lessons lol 💀 all down wellington rd, the village, and not a cop in sight. Iggy did the day run lol lol. Tana umaga and his whanau lived around the corner from us, grew up with the weepu whanau as me dad played league with ox back in the day.

Home sweet Home. Looking forward to one day moving back. Churrrrr.
Oh man, loved reading these memories! Great stuff, thanks for the comments. Great family names you mentioned. Janice Umaga was a year above me - crazy lady and brilliant all in one. Mike was in my brother Glen’s year and Tana was with brother Ian. You couldn’t meet a more humble bunch of people. Ah, more memories now!
@@jeffwarner8361 Nice one! I'm only 48 but still remember them days like it was last week. I hung out with the older crowd back then and learned so much from everyone. I miss home bro. Now living in porirua, but wainui will always have a place in my green and black heart. Best place in wgtn.

Beautiful amazing song and great music for everyone who loves the music of Macedonian pozdrav od Melbourne Australia 🇲🇰 ❤️ 🇦🇺
Thanks George! I loved this song from the first moment I heard it! Hi from Sydney!
IF THERE'S NO REPUBLIC OF SOUTH MACEDONIA THAN THERE'S NO REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA! REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA IS ONE AND ONLY! SMART WILL AGREE AND STUPID WILL OBJECT!
0:00 - so far behind 1:37 - love a 14th century church in a monastery. What if you didn't have your passports on you. Mine are always in the hotel safe 😲 2:03 - you know the tricks young Jeff - hook onto the end of a tour group that is in your language. 2:40 - you really don't want to know my opinion on the opulence here vs the lives of all of the "common people" 3:30 - artisanal beer + cheese - heaven 4:35 - my focus would be on the history of those low walls 5:45 - gorgeous
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
0:32 - the new theme is a winner 🙂 1:30 - they probably could have made that straight, but we're in the Balkans, Balkans 🙂 3:10 - Bears 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻 4:50 - Bears on Speed 🙂 6:56 - I was going to ask about the war scars.. 7:52 - the national gallery of Kosovo looks amazing
Chur Bro! Bears on speed ... now there's a thing!
Hello
Thank you Mara and greetings from Australia! We really enjoyed Serbia. Lovely country, GREAT food and friendly welcoming people. We can’t wait to come back!
Could not believe it when Crowded House came on the radio!
Serbian monasteries are from 11,12,13,14th century built by the serbian Nemanjić dynasty. The centre of serbian patriarchy was in Peć, Kosovo and Metohia till 18 th century , when the great migration of Serbs started , and it was later centered in Sremski Karlovci. Turks started building mosques from 15th century. Most of Albanians took islam (50%), those 25% orthodox are actually Serbs and Greeks and catholicism came with Venetians who held the coastal parts of Albania and later occupied it. There are still some atheists left from the time of Enver Hodza.
Thanks so much for this info. Very interesting. The history here is so fascinating. We have learnt so much about this part of the world.
@@jeffwarner8361wlcm, greetings from Serbia😊
The churches were built in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian as a gift to his home region Dardania(Kosovo). After Emperor Basil ll retook the region, the byzantines noticed that the churches were in bad condition & restored them in the 11th & 12th century. None of them were built by serbian rulers from the 13th & 14th century. They didn't have any knowledge of churchbuilding how would they be able. Even serbian priests like Sava Janjic slowly acknowledge that fact although it is still a topic that is not much discussed in Serbia bc it would threaten their historical claim to them
@@MilIMeta - thank you for this information, this is good to know. Really appreciate your response.
@@MilIMetaThere was no Dardania in 6th century. Justinian was one of the 17 emperors born and most of yhem lived in parts of todays Serbia. There is nothing Dardanian or Schiptarian on Kosovo AND METOHIA.
1:15 novy sad - novy (from my experience with Slavic languages) means New. What's sad? Sad but gorgeous 2:28 yes - i got a Budapest vibe from the buildings as well 🙂 5:20 love the history (and the pronunciation) Don't mention this to Katherine 6:05 the three fists look like something from star wars., sadly if you don't know the history 6:38 you had to play a Kiwi didn't you 🙂 I'm still hooked on your Bosnian anthem - hopefully the nest one is better 🙂
Sad means a garden, but deeper root of word is to put something, for example to seed a plant you say po-saditi. A crew of something (ship, airplane) is posada. To sitting is sedeti. Analogy with sitting/seeding in Indo-European languages. It is funny how people think that languages are different but they are not if they belong to the same Language group
Btw the city had/has name Neoplanta in Latin, Neustadt in German, Ujvidek in Hungarian. It has been developed as a new city across of fortress Petrovaradin (one of the biggest in Europe and witness of many huge battles with Ottoman Turks) later becoming free city (autonomous from Vienna) and overtaking Petrovaradin
The Balkans? you are in Serbia not the Balkans. Stop balkanizing Serbia!!! Do the map of Serbia correctly when you get here, What your country thinks is not my problem, Kosovo is part of Serbia, Kosovo is occupied by NATO.
Kreten
❤ WHERE is this sweet looking town?
4:05 The people you hear speak are speaking in Serbian must be some Serbian Folklore, the Serbian community in Timisoara is quite big.
Hey thanks Ivan. We just found all the festivities amazing - felt really privileged. Thanks for your comment!
❤❤❤Kosovo je ❤ Srbije❤
If you wanted to show Serbia to others, you should first show it correctly on a geographical map, because Kosovo and Metohija are an integral part of Serbia!
Statue of prince mihailo. Dome of princes LJubica. if dont now. Dont.lay..ask
Oh Boy - I need to catch up 🙂
Ha!
The anti NATO banner said: "Serbia without Kosovo is like a man without a heart". I hope you had fun and a positive experience visiting Belgrade. We welcome you back any time. Cheers :)
Hey thanks so much for your comment - appreciate it - and yes we had a great time in Belgrade. Everyone was so welcoming. We had lots of advice on places to visit, food to eat, best coffee shops. A good friend of ours works at Cafe & Factory right opposite the Sveti Sava Temple and he had loads of great great ideas. We can't wait to come back and meet more of you wonderful people! Thanks again!

0:35 - not the earworm of the last videos. Take me to america... 1:48 - Gavrillo Pricip Park - F'in Wow 2:13 - the guitarist in my band has a cultural affinity with Nicola Tesla. If you look at NT's his thoughts and predictions he was on the money. Sadly died in poverty 2:50 - the sounds and sights delight anyone interest in religious history. Yeah Me!! 6:05 - flighty insta gal gets out of the way 9:43 Exactly what my mother always said... 15:15 As a proud Czech I will always say that Bohemia is elsewhere... 11:00 part of the title is off the screen 13:45 - sadly the politics is still alive
Ah Bohemia! Nothing beats the real thing!
@@jeffwarner8361 I hope you had a great time in Serbia and come again. Just one small digression, if you are coming as a foreigner to a country. In this case Serbia, you should still respect that country's borders. As you know, your country is one of the most ardent and active participants in the illegal aggression against Serbia in 1999. Both active and non-supporters of Albanian terrorists in Kosovo. And Kosovo and Metohija are part of Serbia, and according to more than 60% of the UN members. If you don't think so, but you think that the so-called "independent Kosovo" where the US and NATO installed the KLA terrorist pest, the drug cartel is today in the illegally occupied part of the territory of Serbia, where today's Serbs live in ghettos, occupied and surrounded by barbed wire, where he has Albanian terrorist scum, with the support of NATO, primarily the UK and the US, he raids houses, tortures them, arrests Serbs and kills their children.... If you think that's okay, then, for the sake of history, such cards from the beginning of the video clip for you they are not needed, better without them, to insult us if you don't know how to order! In the text that you are reading at 13:41, the part that is missing says in its entirety SERBIA WITHOUT KOSOVO IS LIKE A MAN WITHOUT A HEART! I hope that you will either show Serbia with its true borders or remove the map, thank you in advance!
2:10 - Why the Oils? 2:20 - you can really see the low frequency oscillation in the cables from this sped up footage. Cool 4:30 - A siege of a modern town in the 1990's - unthinkable, but it happened. Sadly not much has changed 5:30 A waterfall - thanks Jeff 5:44 again 🙂 7:02 - more waterfalls - the Gene ones 🙂 11:30 amazing - 🙂 😲
Chur Bro! Yes, it was supposed to be INXS but had copyright issues!
0:53 - even before the words came up, I could tell that this was going to be telling episode. The atrocities of Srebrenica cant be forgotten. I think we must also cast our eyes more widely in the current political landscape - what will we think in 20, maybe 30,years time? 5:25 - no words really can cover this level of sadness. Your selection of music has fitted the mood. Well done (actually sounds a little Bulgarian). 7:35 - sadly, the same as the partition in India. Those who happily lived together torn apart and set against each other by "Higher Echelons" 7:48 - Close Jeff, but not how it's said 🙂
Cheers Bro. That was a tough day and a tough video to put together.
1:28 love the crenulations along the top of the town hall 3:12 are you sure?🙂 4:26 - you do know the reason why this mosque has only one tower? 5:13 - noice 🙂 5:49 - pronounce the name on that building !! 6:50 - that damage is a sad reflection of the stupidity of war. 7:35 - note the Kralj - the first two words are Bosnian King (give or take a J) 8:47 - poignant image of the children remembrance and the mother and child monument. Closest I've come to this are the monuments in Berlin. 10:18 - Brewery - Jeff is in. How was the beer? 11:38 Jeff- you feel for that old trick 🙂
Ha ha I’m never sure of the pronunciation of anything! That clock tower is unique - although we never tested it, it is supposed to show midnight at sunset (I originally thought it had stopped). Kralj - love it. I never made that connection!
1:15 Unless the falls are amazing I prefer the bridge... 🙂 1:22 and the falls were OK - still prefer the brudge (NZ spelling) 2:14 - topless Jeff shot - OMG 😞 3:45 That (mispronounced town) looks amazing - the river the cave and the dervishes 5:15 - perfect for Chelsea 😲
Wow!
Wunderschöne Stadt.
Wow! So nice❤
Thank you!❤
3:05 hypothesis - because the exit off the near side of the brudge (left that in for a Kiwi - ordinally a spelling mistake) is at an angle? 3:35 - thought you were about to dive in Jeff 3:51 Jeff had to be Jeff 6:22 that coffee needs to be sugared (if its anything like Turkish coffee) 11:24 it's a bit like Berlin - the history is remembered (go for a tour in the parliament building in Berlin) 8:46 It's probably not meant to be, but the bombed out building is a stark reminder of the time when we were all safe at home and others were clearly not. Thought about this for while, but we need to support the Ukrainians against the Russian C*nts 9:53 - come on Jeff - you need to pronounce the name of the Market 🙂 10:15 how was he 2 euro beer? Craft worthy? 🙂
I think if I’d had a few more of those craft beers I would’ve jumped! The ones advertised for 2 Euro though were NOT craftworthy!!
OK - this is my favourite intro tune (so far) 2:05 - are you about to get lucky with scenery 😲 2:29 the monument sign to the Nazi victims is incredibly important. 5:45 sherbert will tell you I love rivers and waterfalls. Brilliant 8:14 lovely tower in the distance
Nice - cheers! If you love rivers and waterfalls, there's plenty more coming, but I think you should whet your appetite for Episode 3 in particular!
1:30 great shot of the castle and old town walls 2:41 - the what's palace 😲 3:30 I notice that you did not try to pronounce the name of the market 🙂 And yes - a banger 🙂
Ha ha, that damn palace!
1:14 - now that's a place that I'd like to go...🙂 2:15 - nice way to travel 4:22 - got to love that name. More of that please That's all I got
Best comments ever! New starting music next vid too
there is a road directly at the riviera. you took the new road.
Ah, thanks - good to know!
OK - the title song is wearing a little thin Jeffrey 5:41 apparently... 10:05 5 mins - no time to get seasick - sorry - Wife reference
Those big trucks didn’t slow down coming at us (come on!)
2:57 Oh Jeff - always after the money shot 🙂4:00 Amazing Cycad on the left (which you probably thought was just another plant) 4:11 what's the collective noun for air conditioners. Amazing places and amazing views - 5:05. 6:14 Had to bring that infamous Kiwi band in :-) 6:25 behind that frikkin cruise ship...
Monetise that baby!
Albinixe!!! ;-) 5:10 and apparently he needed a ginormous loo 7:10 not a great combination...
Bicycles and rain - que pasa?!
7:37 a who song... Needs more cicadas
When does Borat appear?
He be lurking!
Wow!!! Great nostalgia hit. Made me home sick.🤣 Looks alot different from the 80s and 90s.
Thanks so much for the feedback!
Everything you see in Berat and Gjirokaster has nothing to do with Ottomans. These cities predate Ottomans by millennia and go back since Illyrian times. Ottomans did not build anything with the exception of destroying churches and building mosques. Ottomans destroyed everything they could in Albanian lands, they looted everything they could. Ottomans did not bring culture to Europe or architecture. There is no historical record of ottomans building not even a village in Albania let alone a city.
0:51 - more works to spoil the view 😲 1:48 - pronounce uscita 🙂3:24 more scaffolding! 10:15 more scaffolding!! 7:04 I was hoping you'd eventually get to my favourite building in Rome - the Pantheon, with amazing concrete in the roof (way back then) 9:25 - I think the only time I got conned to give my email address away was on that bridge by some w*nker saying they needed it for a petition. Don't believe it kids... 10:19 TMI Jeff!!!
He he love it! Should've called it the "scaffolding tour of Italy"! Great comments, especially TMI!
