I don't get the location thing either, there are beaches and cafes and shops in most NZ locations, but I think it's because Auckland has a lot of work. What's the point though, when most of one's money is spent on rent, power, water!! lol! I think we are a debt-crazed city, everyone living on credit cards...there are far more beautiful places in NZ, and there is a hardness to Auckland that other NZ locales don't have. You are lucky!!
Hamilton, Cambridge, Tauranga, Hawkes Bay and Palmy North all now expensive and sought after by spec buyers as well as cashed-up, fleeing Aucklanders!!
Lots more of it. Here land is gold, pure gold!!Head south, girl--the grass really is greener... and we have more of it!
Thank you for remembering the Men and Women who have served this country.
Thank you for our colors, Brian and Jake.
Thank you for remembering Veterans Day, Brian and Jake. A very nice touch.
This is what I wrote on my Facebook page this morning:
Late morning of November 11 - the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month - the guns that had pounded ceaselessly in Europe for years fell silent. The Great War was over. The day came to be celebrated as Armistice Day. The flower of the nations' youth stopped being chewed mercilessly by the war machines.
The enmities that brought the war in the first place still lived on, and those nations would come back and do it all over again, horrifically. Again, the youth of the countries was sent and thrown against the grindstone of armed conflict.
In light of that second appalling war, along with the others over the centuries that have made their weary way through ours and the world's societies, in this country, Armistice Day came to be known as Veterans Day, where we can honor those who have served and mourn those who have fallen.
Happy Veterans Day. When you're out chasing the bargains (and there's no reason you shouldn't!), give a passing thought to those who have stood, and who stand, ready to be sent by their leaders to serve in harm's way.
