Must be now nearly 9 years since I was in the USA for longer. And now being over again I recognize that there is some mentality border for sure. People are different here for sure.

Sure they are friendly and exceptional helpful in any situation. Bit never the less I can feel it … they are different.

The last few years I’ve traveled Canada, New Zealand and Australia and wherever it was, I have felt closer to the people there.

I really can’t specify it better than, the people there are more European alike. Strange but true … perhaps the reason why I archive to make really close friends in those countries I mentioned last, but never archived to come closer with some US folks so far.

Recently a friend of mine visited New Zealand and for me very unexpected (still expected her there) she yesterday came up a chat and after the ususal short “Hello - How are you?” we immediately started talking about her trip and the experiences she had made at Kiwi Country.

In 2003 I had visited both Islands myself and so it was easy talking about as I really had enjoyed my trip to there. The scenery on both island is breathtaking in many ways and the Kiwi people living there, at least those I was lucky to met and talk with, are extremely friendly.

Now by talking about her experiences, all my own memories came back and we soon started this “Have you seen? … Have you done!” answering and questioning game with each other and it really was a pleasure talking about.

Hearing about she had warm and sunny conditions during her Milford Sound Cruise nearly turned me jealous. But later on I was able to “beat” her with the helicopter flight I had made in 2003 finally landing on top of a mountain and walking on the icefield there she couldn’t do for weather reasons as well.

Later on and majorly forced by us living in different time zones and she feeling terrible tired, we committed us to catch up soon again continuing our chat and exchanging more about.

Shorting time with here was sweet and lovely. I’m looking forward to see you again!
