Barbra Streisand

People are people. No matter where in the world you go, people are pretty much the same. 

Except they aren't. 

New Zealanders have the standard number of arms and eyes and testicles and whatever, but they are a tad different from Americans. We are finding less graffiti and less litter and more kindness and more cordiality and less baseball knowledge down here.

I have been some places where people are phony-nice to the American tourist, and I see right through that. This isn't that. They are just a bit more .... bloody civilised 'round here. 

Please forgive the obscure reference to Ms. Streisand.

You see? Only a few days here, and I am already saying things like "please" and "thank you." I have not told one bloke to bugger off!

  1. I've noticed an overwhelming lack of photos. Therefore, I can only surmise that you are really at FWF and not in EnZed as you allege.

  2. And I said that as politely as I could after Matheny's decision to let Wacha pitch in the 9th.
