The antipodes are a strange place.

They are. You gotta come here for a visit. Come here in our
Summer. Its awesome. You're more than welcome to stay at my
place.


I will!
Just not sure when however.
So, you finally setteld in now?

For now. I tell ya, I had a culture shock returning to New Zealand
after my time in Ireland. I didn't expect that.

What way?

I loved my time in Ireland so much that when I returned to New
Zealand I wanted the buzz to continue and it didn't.

Don't get me wrong, New Zealand is a great place to live, the natural
beauty, freedom, food & wine, certain sports all excel but I got
something really deep and ancestral in Ireland.

That's a feeling I get in much of N Europe, but not in the USA .

Maybe after the invasion, eh?

It's not far away now.
