proud to be a kiwi on the edge

Some comments made which implied that New Zealand, while green and beautiful, must be a cultural backwater and behind America and Europe because of its isolation got this ex-pat all fired up. In my defensive research I found facts I didn't know myself, and some I had forgotten details of.

This site, www.nzedge.com, has some interesting reading.

There are many more interesting sites, telling of our exploits and some of our less brilliant and rather bloody history.


Today I am grateful for my kiwi-ness.
