King Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Re: Are you in the right occupation I don't know where you got that idea about "Racism" in NZ from Gator. NZ has always had mixed culture, coloured people since its inception. "Racism" is not a problem in NZ. Australia is a different kettle of fish though, the aborigins used to be hunted like animals there and the official racism was rampant as recently as 1960s.

Holysmoke Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Re: Are you in the right occupation You must have warm summers though. We have hot summers ranging between 18-28 degrees starting Oct to till about March. Rest of the year is fairly cold ranging between 4-12 degrees. More than the low temperature it is the cold southerly wind that really really gets us. Damn, u are lucky :wtg: beautiful place, beautiful temperatures... my place has -30 Celcius in winter and 35 Celcius in summer, and that too, the dry heat. sux :tired: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing common between Australia and NZ other than a bit of accent. All you need to do is take one look at domestic cricket teams and count the number of expats in each team. Do similarly for the Aussie doemstics teams too BTW to understand the different set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 My latest desire is to sell green vegetables on that hand-driven thela .. I find that specacle so soothing thela loaded with all kind of fresh vegetables roaming around.. That sight may become a vanishing act so very soon DR. The latest buzzword is vegetable farmers are making it their cash crops, specially with an eye on exports and/or Supermarket culture. The other day I was reading an article by an Indian thinktank which mentioned that Bihari vegetables are the best in the country thanks to the soil. And this is an area that is being looked into from economic perspective. So dont be surprised if things change greatly within a decade or so.

Gambit Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I didn't want to grow up because I knew(I was pretty precocious in that way) I would grow distant from my cousins, my parents and my relatives and that I wouldn't be able to spend as much time with them as I did when I was a kid.
