NEW ZEALAND | Thursday, 24 Apr 2008 | Views [5636] | Comments [3]

Hi everyone, We've been in New Zealand for a week now and have decided the locals are really rude. They've got all this fantastic scenery and yet they keep it all to themselves! Outrageous. They could at least donate a few mountain ranges and ... Read more >
