Re: Auckland, New Zealand........tell us Kiwi
Yes Capt Bob, it has it's dangers at times, I'm presently recovering from a bite to the leg. A humans mouth is really quite dirty and this wound took a while to heal. Two weeks to heal over and not need a dressing is long enough. <br />In 20 years ofthis I've been assualted about 4 times. This sounds bad but when you look closely enough at all the issues then there is a certain amount of cause on both sides. One learns from it all. <br /><br />Yes it is great that you folk from overseas take an interest in little ole NZ as we often get forgotten down here. A lot of folk think we're part of Oz, or some tiny South Pacific isle, when we are a proud nation full of many different and diverse cultures all melted down on a couple of big islands called New Zealand. <br />We appesar to hold our own in the world stakes, have chaired major committees with the United Nations and offer assistance to numerous overseas countries. We dont pretend to be a big contender in the world security and it would be ludicrus to attempt to do so.<br />This Kiwi thinks this makes us ultra aware of the events changing the world today and keeps us on the edge of our seats. When we hear of the USA or Russia, France, Britian, Argentina, Spain, Germany, China or even Japan getting all powered up for a pow wow then we loo closely at the issues. Usually because this has a direct link to our country through the economy, finance, defence and manpower offered up.<br />The thing most folk here notice would be how quickly the petrol companies put up the price of fuel, (already up a lot in the last few months).<br />Yes don't forget us, we've been there, fought alongside most other countries and lost our fair share of men and equipment. <br />Ross
. So looking forward to that. Always pull for the Kiwi's after my homeland. You have a great campaign again, but I don't know if it's as strong as the last. And lots of good competition this time around.
