In the southern hemisphere it's Autumn right now. The days are shorter and the nights longer.
- What's something interesting you have found out about living 'down under'? (Yes, the water does go down the plughole the other way :~))
- If you have travelled 'down under' what did you see or do?
I chose these topics to show the international flavour of the EtsyBloggers team :-)
When my parents said we were emigrating to New Zealand this is what (as a 15 year old) I knew:
- My granddad and uncle worked at the Captain Cook Museum in Middlesbrough, so I knew about the Moari people wearing grass skirts.
- I knew about Captain Cook because the area that I grew up in in the North of England was known as 'Captain Cook Country'.
- I saw Auckland on the TV once when the French bombed the Rainbow Warrior.
- I heard a lot of: "Oh, you're moving to New Zealand... isn't that attached to Australia by the Sidney Harbour Bridge?" (It's not by the way - Australia is a different country and a good couplehours aeroplane ride away : ~))
Oh - and I personally think that southern hemisphere makes better red wine ;-)
Now you'll want to check out the comments section where my participating teammates have placed their blog post links on their impressions and thoughts of the Land Down Under.
