I, for example, marveled that there are no wild animals that can kill humans in New Zealand. The northern lights were also a wonder.

Did you also find some intetesting fun facts?
I couldn't believe it either! I had no idea that New Zealand had these type of animals!
Wow, I had no idea! I always figured NZ would be just as full of dangerous animals as Australia!

I've been to Japan, and one of the things I marveled about throughout my whole stay there were the numerous vending machines. They sell almost anything, and they are everywhere!

The rules of the Man Mission were interesting. I loved their adventure through the jungle in Australia. They are all tired and worn out but no one wants to give up so as to take the pink bracelet.

I'd rather check out the glaciers and the Northern lights, than go to Japan.

I think someone mentioned, but I also found the food descriptions to be very intriguing. I think what people eat in other parts of the world is fascinating.

What was wildly interesting was unfit men embarking on such adventures. It is quite motivational if you ask me. Another interesting fact was the vending machines in Tokyo dishing out hot food... Mind blowing. :P

Yes, it is actually mind blowing that there are no natural predators there! Thats where you'd want to go for a hiking or camping trip!!

I had assumed that Australia was similar to New Zealand. When I realised the difference in wildlife, it made me want to visit New Zealand all the more!
