Someone is using my name in an attempt to scam people. I am not now nor have I ever been looking for any kind of assistant. I certainly wouldn't ever ask anyone to cash a check to me or to make a Western Union payment to anyone else (especially not someone in Manilla!). This is a classic Fake Check scam. Learn more about that at www.fakechecks.org. If you've been in contact with this person, please report them ASAP!

Rotorua is a town that sits right in the middle of a massive thermal hotspot.  This is from a park in the middle of town.  The lake is hot so it is steaming and it smells like sulfur.
