I am certainly not one of these, NZ and Kiwis certainly have their down sides and a lot of them frustrate the hell out of me BUT I decided to move here and if I don't like it the choice is mine to leave. No matter where we had decided to move in the world the emphasis is the same, experience a different culture and accept it or don't, simple. This was never expected to be a lifelong, life choice for us, it was another step on the journey, an adventure and a look-see, learn what we can, get the most we can from the experience good or bad, grow and move on.
Glenda, we're far from living the dream, we're far too pragmatic for that syndrome. NZ is suiting us just now. We never had any expectations or hopes for this place before we got here so I can't say it's turned out to be all that we wanted it to be. We didn't want it to be anything other than it is and we knew it was down to us to get anything, something or everything from it and not the other way around. It's not about where you are, it's about how you choose to live your every day and how you choose to shape your experience.
When a forum is as successful as this one with regular members posting to and fro frequently, it's easy to fall into believing that we know people better than we actually do.
And Glenda, I am far from being big or hairy and I only jump on people that I am exceptionally familiar with
Oh and I would definitely never lick a stranger
