Well MB the answer is resounding yes.
We dont "do" road rage anymore, even though the standard of driving in NZ is pretty poor. As a family we are alot more relaxed - kids friendlier and happier. Jacky and I alot happier, not that we were unhappy in the UK.
Much much much much more chilled. It must be something in the water. But very little bothers us anymore. Not that we are we are more careless, more care free. Kiwi time seems to run just that bit slower.
Nothing is a hassle anymore, its much easier with just a shrug of the shoulders and a "she'll be right" attitude. So far this mentality hasnt let us down.
Its all very refreshing, feeling this way!!
cheers
