I couldn't believe it either! I had no idea that New Zealand had these type of animals!Cotwani wrote: ↑02 Jan 2020, 17:09 The 'man missions' not only introduced exotic picturesque sceneries. There were interesting tidbits to be garnered about the different areas. I, for example, marveled that there are no wild animals that can kill humans in New Zealand. The northern lights were also a wonder.

I haven't read the book but this comment alone made me curious about it!

This reminded me of me and my friends wild camping in Georgia (the country). We were hikig in mountain region. In the evening we built our tent and watched the flying glow-worms (bugs? I don't know how they are called in English). That was amazing! We felt like we were high up in the sky, surrounded by stars. Anyway, when we got out of a tent in the morning, we found ourselves surrounded by cows. Cows, cows, cows, in all directions. And we're in the middle of it.Priyanka Kumar wrote: ↑07 Jan 2020, 08:41 I just started reading the book. Currently I am reading the second mission in Japan. So far I like the first night they camped in New Zealand, where they got surrounded by cows.

Oh, there were so many! I've been traveling since... 10 years ago? Stopped counting. Even in the US, which I consider to be a country of the most protective people, I still met many good souls. People would invite me to their homes, give food, a spot to rest from a road for a while. Not to mention clothes, maps, torches or whatever they could think of.espo wrote: ↑12 Jan 2020, 13:10 One of the things that fascinated me the most in the book is the way Australian country hospitality is described. A man just offered to host the boys for a night, although they were complete strangers, and left a note on his door that they could find the key under the carpet and help themselves while he was away. I wonder if anyone on here has experienced something similar in Australia or other parts of the world?
When I host travelers at my home, I too give them keys, and have never had bad experience.
