[QUOTE="janie, post: 562171, member: 2982"] Hi Malika, Yes, I hope Star wins Lotto too .... she would be one of the most DESERVING people I know - and she would share it and make a difference to so many lives ... :) It is great to read about how other Board members feel about where they live - I am enjoying the descriptions :) I am very happy where I live - which is Hastings, a small town in the Hawkes Bay of New Zealand ... full of beautiful old parks, incredible geography, and natural beauty ... also a gentle pace of life. I work In Napier (a 20 minute car ride, via an expressway through farm land away) .... and it is wonderful too. Most of the buildings are Art Deco (due to being built straight after a massive earthquake flattened the City 82 years ago). I am lucky enough to work in the famous Dome Building - opposite the waterfront (I work at Starbucks). Hawkes Bay has so many interesting places to explore - if you have watched any of the Lord of the Rings movies you will understand exactly the beauty of this land :) Sadly, my husband was made redundant from his job about 6 weeks ago - however, he has just found work - fortunately for a great company ... but it is in Auckland - which is NZs biggest city. Auckland has some great things about it - but it is a big city as opposed to this lovely small town that we enjoy. I guess you will all chuckle at the description "big" ... as it is TINY compared to big cities in places like America :) I do feel very blessed to be able to live in New Zealand. [/QUOTE]
