For some strange reason I have met some of you Kiwis for the last five days. For five days in a row I have met a New Zealander in completely unrelated circumstances. And they were all so cool. First of all they all loved Denver which is a major check-off for being a cool person, but they were friendly, appreciated a good drink( I guess the circumstances were somewhat related in that way), liked a good joke, and just had fun. Plus your chicks accents are so damn sexy(sorry Brits and Aussies but when a Kiwi chick says “dodgy” it’s just that much more of a turn on then when you do it)." Any chance you all in Sheepland are looking for a few unemployed, fat Oracle DBAs? 🙂

As an Australian I’m not really supposed to say this, but I agree entirely with you Wolfman. New Zealand is a wonderful country. I lived there for three years (in the capital city, Wellington) and I had a ball. The people were very friendly and the environment, particularly the alpine country in the South Island, is stunningly beauthiful.

Have to say New Zealand is the friendliest and one of the most beautiful places on earth. I moved here just over a year ago and absolutely love it.
