Now that you ask - world leading scientists in sheep and deer genetics, world leaders in dairy farming - basically NZ is at the forefront of agricultural technology. In a word - farming. Thats what we are bloody good at.

Thats also where the money comes from for you and I to buy computers, petrol, cars, TV sets, etc etc. 		Winston001 (3612)

Hehe, oh right, I'll try take that. We may have the faster sheep sheerer and kiwifruits, but I tell ya, we don't dominate Asian markets in apple and beef as much as 'we' think we do. When I went there, the NZ apples were good looking, slightly better than the ones we hav here. They weren't expensive, but then I saw ones labelled 'Washington D.C.' I was shocked, they weren't much better looking, but more expensive, yet people brought them! So there I was, I brought a few to taste test. I was truly gutted, NZ apples were being overtaken in taste! What's more, I could peel a floury layer of wax with my fingernails! No wonder it looked so good. Next thing, I think someone will start growing kiwifruits in China, where they were claimed to have come from ?:|

Before we know it, our agricultural industry will die. Nobody wants to get into it. If NZ is as great as 'we' claim, I ask, why do so many bother with OEs. Personally, I'm already planning for one :p

But rest assured, I'm coming back :D It's the Kiwi Lifestyles that kicks the rest :D .. that just can't change

P.S. My money comes from the good old parents, just like many of you out there :p 		~~~~~ s y ~~~~~ (2054)
