I certainly would like NZ to become as rich as Australia, our present PM is aiming for that, but then again pigs fly don't they?
Did you live in Sydney for a while ??? Lot's of Kiwis do that. In fact I was engaged to be married to one when I was about 23 years old. She was from One Tree Hill in Auckland, her old man was the postie there.
When I was posted to Singapore/Malaya for two years, I guess it was too long for her to wait the 2 years I was away....which is fair enuf given the fact that we were both young.
But I was with the 161 Battery Kiwi Artillery for a long time, so got to know a lot of them guys.
Never been to NZ tho myself, stopped over there once for about an hour on transit to USA...never got off the plane, so I guess that doesn't count as "being there" eh ??
