I'm not sure I'll ever get used to some of this region's quirks, but even the negative stuff seems to have its charms.<BR/><BR/>In the end, no place is perfect.

I definitely want to experience it for myself someday.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24246495.post-1162391467799943332006-11-02T03:31:00.000+13:002006-11-02T03:31:00.000+13:00I don't want to move there, but I'd love to visit....I don't want to move there, but I'd love to visit. :-)Deb Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322863748665701618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24246495.post-1162388369498321532006-11-02T02:39:00.000+13:002006-11-02T02:39:00.000+13:00WOW - and I had just added New Zeland to my list o...WOW - and I had just added New Zeland to my list of places to retire....<BR/>OK just for you I will take it off again :)Endmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711896605197134394noreply@blogger.com
