[QUOTE="janie, post: 222070, member: 2982"] Hi Abbey, I laughed about the post office guys comment about NZ .... it constantly amazes Kiwis (New Zealanders) that other countries don't seem to know WHERE we are ... Basically if you just say to them that NZ is East of Australia .... SURELY the postal workers know where AUSTRALIA is?! :) My eldest daughter travelled for 5 months earlier this year (15 Countries) ..... she got tired of trying to explain where NZ is ... so in the end she told people she was from Australia ..... (normally NZers like to clarify the difference between coming from Aussie or NZ - just like Americans and Canadians often do) .... However, it was amazing how many New Zealanders she came across (often in really obscure places) .... you hear that familiar accent and feel that home really isn't that far away .... it really is a small world :) I have had fun writing the addresses on the envelopes for the cards to CD Board members ..... it is a completely different way of writing addresses compared to what I am used to here .... all those post code letters and numbers ... LOL I am off to work at the book shop today (Sunday) .... oh joy, working in RETAIL is SO MUCH FUN at this time of year .... ;) Have a great weekend everyone. from Janie [/QUOTE]
