reasons to love New Zealand.

only thing that can kill you is yourself, and well someone else.

no snakes, spiders (well nothing to bother about)......list goes on

Alltaken

 

yeah..we didn't even have any predator type, native animals until man came, bringing his rats and dogs and whatnot.

whcih is probably why so many of our birds - the pukeko, the kiwi, the kaka, and so on don't enjoy flying and shuffle around on the groud where they (used to) be safe.. they are flipping daft looking birds....pukeko....

 

I like Pukeko! They're all mad and lanky! Bit of a pest in some areas though...

Kakapo, now that's an odd bird... a terrestrial parrot!

 

meep...spanky lanky....
sorry, we used to have a teacher at school who was all lanky, so we called him spanky...

come to think of it, he did look rather like a pukeko....

*back to topic*
there are those other ones too - takehes? I think that's what they're called...

 

was looking at some bird pics... the Kotuku-ngutupapa looked cool. TThe Parekareka has a cool mohawk thing going on too.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Once a friend of mine crashed his car real major coz a random pukeko rushed at it and took his side view mirror off.

 

my grandmother lives their.... a 6 hour flight away

good looking kiwi boys.... hmmmmm havent bumped into the Maher men then have you....

 

HAHAHAHA SPANKY LANKY. Do you rememeber chamley and katie's obsession with him? How funny was that?

AND PUKEKOS. HAHAHA "would you like rocks with that?"

 

exactly...ah, memories. spanky pukekoness.

 

Another beauty of your shores which I've recently discovered is poi, amazing things, you can totally relax yourself AND have fire swishing past you in increasingly tighter circles! ahhh, meditation mixed with pyromania, wonderful invention!!!!

 

yeah, fire poi (while not so traditional ) rock soooo much.

way better than the equally untraditional poi we used to make in primary with red, brack and white wool and some scrunched up plastic bags, lol.

 

Mmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeee, i live here and im happy.

 

Its so beautiful!
The Maori culture, I am completely tattooed in Maori art!
Wellington, Bay of Islands, Fiordland, the mineral spas in Rotoura, Corramondal sp?, The west coast on the South island, Punakaki,
Queenstown for fun stuff, The people are so great!
I loved New Zealand I would move there in a heartbeat!!!

 

what is 'fire poi' or any 'poi' for that matter?

 

poi are basically like soft, bally things on the end of a string, that you swing around you when you perform traditional maori dances...fire poi are similar, only less traditional and on fire

 

I know this is bringing up an old story but are you actually serious? King Kong, 3 Movies? I gotta hand it to him, the Guys got class.

 

Scenery here is wonderful, plus people are generally far more laid back than in places like America or Europe.

 

hmmmm is this laid back in attitude, like "sweet as man, no worries that you poured drink all down my top"

or is it lais back as in we do less work?

coz i do about 100 hours a week of work, and work untill i am physically sick, so to me i feel like i am anything but laid back, but i do think my personality is laid back.

reasons to love New Zealand:

Tana Umanga

BBQ's at the beach

Christmas under the pohutakawa tree (im jewish, i know)

Cuba street carnival

One love concert

THEATRE AND MUSIC SCENE IN WELLINGTON

Knowing that everyone else in the world is jealous, and thinks its an island paradise

Maori people, Maori songs, Maori dance, Maori food...... everything Maori

The cleanness

Its not Australia

and last but not least... ITS HOME....

oh, i miss you New Zealand, i'll be back to see you soon, and we will make love 'till the sun comes up....

 

Laid back as in if you go to France or England or places like that everyone always seems incredibly stressed out. Most people here seem to have laid back personalities. Not so much the work issue.

We don't know how lucky we are, mate, we don't know how lucky we are...
