A place called New Zealand

It's been almost an year since my last post. Don't know why I didn't write. I had more than enough time to write down my thoughts though.
Well, as I write this I see myself in my home country in about 3 weeks time. I am saying goodbye to New Zealand.
I really loved it here. The people and the place. I have learned a lot about the culture here more than when I was in Ireland and learning its way of life. Maybe it's because of my wife or maybe because I have been interacting more with those around.
The solidarity with which the nation stood together against the Christchurch shootings impressed me.

We especially loved travelling around. Our most recent trip was to Queenstown and Milford Sound in the South Island which we  will never forget.


So this is just to say thanks to the Kiwi folks over here. You love the people around you and the environment too. You take great care of them and strive to find new ways to sort out issues.
