>It appears less militarised because there aren't really any people, here.
That's all to the good. But we used to be like that before 1993. I wonder if Stewart Island would be good. Not too many there? Dunedin was nice, but a little warm for me.
I dunno about Auckland. I have spent many hours at the airport.
>We had these horrible cheap accommodation buildings (that got around building law restrictions on minimum size of apartments and so on) because they were only supposed to be temporary for students.
Yes there are crappy buildings in NZ. I was expecting Hobart, which Wellington resembles. Plenty of water everywhere. Nice cool climate. And all those meth houses one hears about. We live in an area supposedly 'lashed by ice'.
>There's something toxic about the world that i see...
No argument, mate.
>I meant the hierarchy of health systems.
Ah well. Thank God for private health insurance. My anaesthetist said 'When you wake up you will be on a drip and after that on tablets. What would you like?' I said Morphine then oxycodone and he said 'We find morphine does not work quite quickly enough and prefer to use hydromorphone. What about that?' I was very pleased indeed.
People don't read as they used to. And in fact not many teachers can teach it. The base permitted the superstructure to provide something vaguely resembling a very second-class classical education but now that's off, and anyway a raft of other problems make it something or other.
>The idea of building up a surplus for storage... I don't think there was that.
Even more so here. I don't much want to see much more of us ruining everything building up more surplus. (I'd like to shout Repent! Repent! But one of our problems is the dominionists in parliament enjoying their culture wars too much.)The world is old and tawdry, ruined by continuous lies and violence, tired, broken and shameless.
You did go to what I think of as one of the best universities here. I like Canberra. Nice climate and buildings, not too many people.
