New Zealand

[Mitch]

Who here loves New Zealand?

Beutiful country, great people, top place to live. Nice and peaceful, Nuclear Free, strong culture......

I could go on for days.

[Devourment]

NZ is a beautiful place. I'd love to go there on holiday sometime hopefully.

[GooeyToast]

From the looks of LOTR, New Zealand kicks ass.


~Keep it gooey~

[Mitch]

Yeah, well apart from the odd Orc Horde wandering around Mordor, then It's all good.

Might take a daytrip to Mount Doom tomorrow....

[Shlup]

I'm considering a honeymoon there.

[GooeyToast]

Don't forget your sunscreen & bathing suit.

[Meat Puppet]

Yes it is quite good.

[Jewels]

I do love living here in New Zealand. It's just a good place to go to if you want to relax and enjoy the scenery.

[Princess_Yuna]

It must be great in NZ!

I could go on for days too!^_^

[Loony BoB]

I look forward to the day I return. I love my country, and I'm one of the most patriotic people you'll meet - but then again, most New Zealanders are, with good reason. :)

[Jess]

I've never been there. :(

I would like to go someday though. :]

[Mo-Nercy]

They should learn to play [insert name of sport that Australia is better than NZ at]

[Samuraid]

I can't say much about the country itself (never been there) but a couple of my friends are Kiwis and they are great and very interesting people.

[Miriel]

I want to go there and find me some Hobbits.

[Calliope]

NZ is not as clean or green as the tourism industry would have you believe. Most of our native flora/fauna are endangered, there's rubbish everywhere, we lifted the moratorium on GE, if National gets in then our nuclear free stance will be 'gone by lunchtime', we're running out of electricity so we're going to build blasted power pylons across the country instead of investing in sustainable energy, we are trawling our seabed like there's no tomorrow, etc etc.

There are no hobbits, but plenty of homeless people.

I still love my country, and am loathe to leave it.

[Psychotic]

I want to go there and find me some <s>Hobbits</s> Meat Puppets.

[faster skating penguin]

I know near nothing about it. But I do fancy the letter Z ...

Damn National suck though! And yes, there are a lot of problems such as homelessness and poverty etc.

Sadly

[Levian]

New Zealand has almost the same shape as Japan. ^_^

[Lindy]

Used to be a lefty paradise, now it's become a right-wing hell.

Shame, still, beautiful landscape.

[escobert]

[Meat Puppet]

We have lot of Japanese! Come to see us!

Have you been there? According to you, things have changed more dramatically than I'd ever imagined over the past three years. How long ago do you think it was a lefty paradise and when did it change?

[Lindy]

From what I've heard, the political stance was originally very much geared towards a welfare state based on public services, but with high taxes, and then shifted towards more private industries but with far lower taxes.

And I just refer to anything that runs under a right-wing stance as hell, it's nothing specific.

Maybe I was misinformed, what did happen?

[Loony BoB]

I don't know, over the past few years I haven't been home at all, that's why I was asking if you knew anything I didn't. :p

[Rye]

I want to go there one day, it looks beautiful. :)

[Lindy]

Oh, haha, well, yeah. All I really know is what I posted, Nicky would be obviously the better person to ask since she's a politico and all.

[Drift]
