After reading these 100 things that make us Kiwi, i was thinking about what i like been here in NZ, my adopted home. I orginally came from England when i was about 2 yrs old. So you could say i grew up as a kiwi even though i was not born here. Yes i still like going back to visit England and my family there but i have taken on the NZ lifestyle etc.
One of the points that i liked was the one that says ' That if you feel that you belong to New Zealand, then you do belong '.
As an example, when i was overseas in England doing my OE, i always had thoughts of home and the aspects that i missed such as walking around in bare feet, going to the beach or walking in the forest etc.
I do miss seeing the rest of my family in England occasionly since it's very rarely i see them. In this case, it was 1998 since i last was overseas in England. One thing that i really appreciated my parents doing for my sister and i was giving us surrogate uncle's and aunt's when we came over here to help us settling in.
More to come in this post ....
