Hi Maurice,

I see you live in Auckland.

I had the great pleasure of visiting the North Island in 2005.

We went fishing in Wangarei never have I seen such a beautiful country.

I was so impressed with the people of New Zealand. They protect their heritage from immigration that would change their cultural identity.

There is so much political correctness globally that I'm hesitant to type it but I found the New Zealanders happy with where and how they are and protective of keeping it that way. I viewed it as pride of their cultural heritage and wanting to keep it that way. I remember the boat captain pointing to this beautiful large home up on a hill on the coast and calling it "Where a Texan lived".

I'm not sure what an American would have to do to buy land there and reside??

I found it very refreshing and missed it when I went to Australia and found it strikingly different and a melting pot of asians , europeans, English and Americans.

I have ever since thought and said to my wife if the US keeps going the way it is - we need to sell it all and move to New Zealand.

It was so clean and everywhere I looked it was like living in a post card picture of cleanliness and pride of land ownership.

I miss it just typing it.

The striped Marlin fishing was excellent as were all other species of fishing. The beer drinking was quite good too!

I felt instantly at home.

Good to know someone from New Zealand!

Hope your weather is good there now!

Pardon my "I LOVE NEW ZEALAND " rant , <smile>

Bob
