Dawn, I think Nolasmom's warnings are useful in that they prepare folks for things they might not have thought about. Being forewarned being equipped with radius and ulna, and all that. Moving to NZ may not be anywhere near like moving to Kabul, but the little things one isn't expecting can contribute to a feeling of frustration.

I know I'm still rather surprised at "green" NZ's slash-and-erode timber harvest practices, apparent narrow scope of recycling and nascent awareness of household energy conservation. Yes, I'm spoiled coming from eco-groovy California, but still...

I'll just have to adjust and help with the cause.
