SEVEN MORE NEW ZEALAND QUIRKS from ANGELA ~ A Sonnet

BRIAN & ANGELA



 

I LOVE BUNGEE JUMPING : DONT TELL BRIAN! 

 

I LOVE AUCKLAND : She has so much to give

Amazingly it one of the "cheapest" Cities to live!

 

NEW ZEALAND is the bestest place Ive ever been 

Voted as "BEST in the WORLD" by Wanderlust  Magazine!

 

 NEW ZEALAND RAF : How they love to FLY

Its logo is a KIWI : Ive often wondered why?

 

The KIWI Badminton Team : was called THE BLACK COCKS

But they had to change it, it gave the LADIES SHOCKS! 

 

In nineteen ninety after a Blizzard

New Zealand appointed a National WIZARD!

 

KIWI FRUIT are cute and merry

Original name?  A Chinese Goose Berry! 

 

BUNGEE JUMPING : Dangerous, Extreme

Started in NEW ZEALAND : How Girls love to SCREAM!

 

New Zealand is ZANY : Please comment : Love ANGELA XXXX

 

OMG New Zealand is such a fun place to live! Everyone is

Happy and Zany is the NORM. Ive only worked here a few

weeks but I want to stay FOREVER (Dont tell BRIAN or He

may cancel his Trip and bring me back to the UK!). In every

Town & City and at Work, Im treated as a FRIEND and so

far nobody has called me a PHYSIOTERRORIST in fact they

call me FIZZ because Ive been so BUBBLY ever since I

arrived : Theres something in the AIR!  The video is the

NZRAF HAKA  they got their own MAORI NZRAF CENTRE

2005! For ME the MAORI CULTURE is MIND BENDING and

really Out of this World! SPAIN has her customs ........BUT!

 

Im SO SO excited BRIAN will be here next MONDAY so we

may be OFF AIR for a fortnight!  LOVE TO ALL ANGELA  XXXX

    Another interesting and informative post - I'm quite fond of the fruit of the Actinidia deliciosa

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      HELLO MIKE: Its already TUESDAY MORNING HERE (14th AUGUST) so Im replying to comments before I leave for work. Its 20 minutes walk, a Physio must practice what she preaches. I had a laugh with BRIAN (Skype) about Bungeeing but its not as dangerous as it looks but people can jar their joints and need my services! Like ROCK CLIMBING and SKIING etc the jumps are graded, Im MODERATE! Have you ever BUNGEED ? I love KIWI FRUIT (love the Latin name seems very apt) and in NZ (even in Winter) they seem ripe & ready, also the tinned and peeled ones are very tasty. I have to get used to buying Corned lamb instead of Corned Beef there are ten times more sheep in NZ than humans! I hope you enjoyed the Maori clip, they are 100% integrated and they add fun & sparkle to everyday life in N Island. Im so excited about BRIAN arriving on MONDAY (20th) Love ANGELA XXXX

      Good informative write Angela.

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        HELLO ANDY 7:45 am TUESDAY here! Pleased you enjoyed the quirky information on New Zealand, I love it here, Unlike the Aborigines in Australia and the Native Americans, the MAORIS are now assimilated into all aspects of 20th C New Zealand Culture. They are 15% of the Population and add a lot of colour to every day life. When one is Young, Bungee Jumping does not seem dangerous and lots of Females enjoy it! Yours ANGELA, Love to JOYCE XXXX

        A fine write Angela.

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Tuesday 8 am, THANKS UNCLE STEVE: Pleased you enjoyed my QUIRKS! In my POEMS I like to share some NZ Culture and the Maoris are a very integral part of life in NORTH ISLAND. Thanks for your Daily Hymn & Poem it helps me to keep HOLY. I see Brain has commented today, Im so excited about next MONDAY MORNING : You cant hug on SKYPE! You would love BUNGEE JUMPING a real adrenaline rush but you might need a PHYSIO! Every Blessing, Love ANGELA XXXX

          • orchidee

            Doh! I would not take off even. I would see the height, then faint or something! lol.

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            BUENAS TARDES SWEETHEART ~ I did warn you NZ was even more QUIRKY than the UK & Spain ~ pleased you are enjoying it ! You look lovely in the rear view Bungee Jumping ~ Because you are a PHYSIO I know you would never take a mega-risk ! When I come next week we can jump in TANDEM ! Love the video showing the opening of the MAORI NZRAF Centre ~ They really have gained EQUAL STATUS ~ AMEN. Will speak to you when you wake up in about an hour ! Todo de mi Amor ~ de mi Carazon a Vosotra ~ Tu Amarado ~ BRIAN XOXOX

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              BUENAS DIAS BRIAN AMORADO MIO: I enjoyed our chat, this morning, its almost time for WORK my first clinic is 10:30 am NZ Time! I have been very careful with my B Jumps, moderate only, but when in NEW ZEALAND one must jump as NEW ZEALAND jumps. I know you cant wait to BUNGEE JUMP next week but dont attempt the SUICIDE JUMP you have to be under thirty and not married (or engaged)! I have so much to show you in Auckland and your Cousin Lawrence is looking forward to seeing you again. All my NEW FRIENDS & Colleagues want to meet you and I know they wont be disappointed! There is a HISPANIC DEPARTMENT in the University so I try to maintain my Language Skills. Looking forward to lots of Abrazos y Besos y Amor when you arrive on the 20th : TEMPUS FUGIT! Todo de mi Amor, AMARATO TUA: ANGELITA XXXX

              Such an exciting video and oh those New Zealand quirks which seem to have delighted your time there already will I am sure live close to your heart wherever you eventually live Angela -- - bungi jumping in moderation must be so thrilling - hope you both enjoy the experience of tandem jumping sometime soon - - love the way you have been accepted as friend by so many - they must be the lovliest of people to know. Have fun showing Brian all the places you you have been and the friends you have made.... Hugs from Fay

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                THANKS FAY: Your kind comments are much appreciated. I have been made very welcome at Work, by the Patients & Staff and by the Community, especially the MAORIS. Being a PHYSIO I encourage exercise and the MAORI Poi & Stick Dances use every muscle in the BODY! I will use some of them in the UK (if ever I get back) especially with Children. The MAORIS dont just LIKE you they LOVE you. I have two training with me and they both have "Healing Hands" they are very TACTILE! For TANDEM BUNGI we are in different "elastic ropes" but jump & bounce in unison! Brian asked me to be his Fiancee, because I am an extrovert & popul (like Him!) but he will be amazed how many new Friends I have made. Brian did warn me I would fall in love with The Place, The Pleasantness & The People, and I HAVE! Only six more days and BRIAN will be here: AMEN. Hugs from ANGELA XXXX .
