Description
OUR TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE YEARS DOWN UNDER IN NEW ZEALAND (KIWILAND)...AND I'M STILL DAMN WELL HERE TEN YEARS LATER! ... and LOVING it even more. A South African's and "exile Kiwi's" light-hearted look at life in laid-back, provincial New Zealand. Eventually life in "Sleepy Hollow" became so quiet that we decided to write a book about it... although there were one or two adventures from time to time. A new immigrant family's view of rural 'Godzone' and culture shock after arriving from a large city in South Africa to start a new lifestyle ... with a rather drastic change of pace on the other side of the world. Now six years later, I take it all for granted... and appreciate it even more. "Nothing much happens over there. The headline in a major capital city was 'golf-ball thrown at police constable'." - comments by British entertainer Julian Cleary on a recent visit to "Godzone". And that's in a "metropolis". Just wait till he gets to "Sleepy Hollow" and sees the "local rag" in "Sleepy Hollow"!
