The Kiwi Way of Life :)

When I think of home I think of the many things that makes New Zealand...well practically, New Zealand. I mean where else in the world you gonna find 100:1 Ratio of sheep or L&P or the oil drenched fish accompanied with hot chips and Watties sauce? Aaah I'll tell you... NO WHERE! And that people is why New Zealand branches away from everyone and everything else.
As a youngster, I recall the days my mum would send me and my brother up the road to the Fish'n'Chips shop and order $5 chips, 8 fish, 8 fritters, 8 Sausages, 2 2ltr Bottles of L&P and a loaf of bread. We had dinner sussed! You'd find it at the beach. Around the corner from every home. Fish'n'Chips is here to stay. It's what makes Kiwis, Kiwis. Secondly, the rugby. It's a male dominated sport, but the girls could hit just as hard and run just as fast lol. It's a favorite pastime I think, where sons and fathers would actually sit down together, weather its at the actual game or at home on the box. It was the only time where Fathers and sons would agree with eachother. We love seeing our Boys in Black smashing the opponents especially against them darn Aussies. We have a Love-Hate relationship, don't get me wrong the aussie people are good people, but when it comes to the ruggers, it's war!! 
Lastly our beautiful Country, truly Gods Country. Untouched. Clean and Clear. Safe. Very Diverse. We just seem to all get along. That's mainly why New Zealand will always be home to me. So back to kicking back and relaxing, sipping on my L&P.
