Cascading Waterfall

I hate cucumber and asparagus too.

Oh yes, I'm another one who hates olives. I also hate pineapple, tomatoes, celery, gherkins, onions, liver, broad beans, tamarillos, radishes, cherries, kiwifruit, paua, venison and pork pie.

What do you mean by patriots? I am not a patriot. We are all entitled to our opinions.

Actually I do think of a few things I don't like about my country. 1: Our pathetic excuse of a prime minister. 2: We are on the fault line and because of this, we get earthquakes. 3: Paua and kiwifruit.

Well you did say the red stars are prettier than the white ones and I agreed with you. BTW can you keep your negative opinions about other people to yourself please?

No there isn't. Why would there be?

Yes I think the New Zealand flag has nicer stars than the Australian flag.

Yes that looks good, it would look even better with the koru and a kiwi.

As are the New Zealand and Australian flags. The New Zealand flag has 4 stars and the Australian flag has 6 stars. BTW I think New Zealand has the best flag.

Oh well I guess what's funny to some people isn't funny to others.

Well this has been posted about on another forum I'm on and we have a good laugh about it.

Well Eglantine, I wanted both a Telecom phone and a Vodafone. That's why I have 2 phones.

Here's mine. I have a Samsung and a Sagem.

That is very rude.

Coldplayplusjuanes, if your question is in response to me, I love Auckland and I eventually want to live there. It's a great place to visit. I plan to go there for a week in 2012.

Cobalt have you been to New Zealand? It is an amazing country to live in.

We also have paua shell. This is what it looks like. Jewellery can be made from paua shell. Here's a few examples of paua shell jewellery in different colours.

This is a tiki made out of greenstone. The tiki is considered a New Zealand lucky charm. We have bone carvings too. This one is of the koru (a symbol of new life). We have some places that are considered tapu which means sacred.

Nice and sunny here today.

We have warm weather and cold beers here in New Zealand.

New Zealand's Maori name is Aotearoa (Land of the long white cloud). The North and South Islands also have Maori names. The North Island has the name Te Ika a Maui. (I'm not sure what it means though). And the South Island has the name Te Wai Pounamu (which means The Place Of The Greenstone). This is because greenstone was valuable to the Maori. Greenstone is also known as pounamu. [ame= ] [/ame]

In New Zealand we have things like paua and pipis (shellfish), kumara (sweet potato) koura (freshwater crayfish), kiwifruit, and we also have pavlova which is a meringue dessert. Another thing we have here is Hokey Pokey ice cream. Hokey Pokey is pieces of toffee. We say Haere Mai (Hello or welcome), Haere Ra (Goodbye), Aroha (Love).

I think Shortland Street's the most watched tv series over here. Shortland Street started in May 1992 and it used to be filmed in Browns Bay on Auckland's North Shore. Now it's filmed in Henderson in West Auckland.

It's summer here and raining.
