Found your
write up on Novia Scotia interesting. When you state that there are
no dangerous animals in NS I think you are underestimating the personality
of the black bear which when full grown is large. Actually your comparison
to the grizzly is not accurate. In regions where the grizzly and black
bear co-exist the black bear has shown to be the killer of the two.(Ref
Gary Shelton) Our black bears have been in contact with people for at
lest a couple of hundred years and usually shy away:however if they have
food or young nearby they can be dangerous. You have some research to do!

It's rare
to see a black bear in the wild as they are more scared of us than we of
them. Around here you have to get between a female and her cub in
order to have a problem, or do something dumb like feed them or leave food
around.............
when I say they're not dangerous, I mean in this sense ........ they don't
come looking for trouble as humans do.

..w.n living quarters in a huge
I am living

you were there.

Wonderful
description of my country:Chile.
One correction:
the german immigration took place in the early XIX century, shortly after
independance, NOT after WWII.
During and
after the war we had PROGRESSIVE governments in Chile (Frente de Accion
Popular)and NAZIS were absolutely NOT WELCOMED.

I am writing
to give thanks and kudos for this publication. Nearly a year ago
I sold my home in Vancouver, Washington and moved "down-under". The
previous 19 months were spent pouring over anything I could get my hands
on regarding relocating to New Zealand and after many months of tireless
reading, I managed to make my dream a reality. Your e-zine provided
homorous insight into what this move would mean for me. I took notes
and weighed all of the good and bad and found there was certainly a real
chance for me to make it happen. Being a solo mom for about 3 years
gave me the determination to make this enormous shift. I am now able
to give my daughter a better life, send her to a better school, and allow
her to grow up in a safer country. Sure, I miss huge refrigerators
and larger-than-Barbie doll-sized washer & dryers...I also miss lightning
speed broadband internet and super-mega shopping malls, but I have never
regretted my decision to shift with my daughte
r.
Without your witty and insightful articles, I might still be wondering
if it would be a good decision for us. There are some questions that
people just don't think to consider when writing travel books and such,
and your writers were very good at filling in those blanks. I am
even thinking about trying to help others who have the same goal in mind.
I have learned "heaps" about Aotearoa since we shifted. It has truly
been the educational experience of my lifetime thus far!
So now I wish
you many more years of success and send you my utmost appreciation for
your work.
Kind regards,
TJ Love

What is it
that causes everyone to think I must, as a "citizen of the United States,"
leave the country in order to expatriate? I can understand it in
other countries, but not here. Since, here, we have a system of multiple
choices. All of which are merely matters of political status, not physical
location (though there are a few exceptions here and there).
