News from New Zealand

I’ve been to New Zealand 4 years ago. It’s definitely the most beautiful country in the world. I’ll write about it in another time. Their problems are so funny. After returning to Israel, I used to read the new on the NZ Herald and find my piece of mind.

The mountaineers that are stuck in the mountains, a road accident with one casualty that tops the news, a girl bit by a dog in the park and the Americas Cup are their worst concerns.

Compared to the fast and alarming news that we have over here, in the holy land, the Kiwi’s problems seem quite funny. I envy them so much. Their (relatively) laid back mentality in a very modern country is something we don’t have here.

“How are you doing?” –> “Good as Gold” – contrary to the Israeli “What is the situation?” –> “Everything is in order”.

Anyway, today I peeked again into news from New Zealand, this time through Google’s News from New Zealand. Guess what? The luxurious “Queen Mary” ship is coming to town. That heads the news on Google News at the time of writing.

BTW, the picture is from a day trip around Mt. Cook, on New Zealand’s south island. I’ll get back there one day…
