Homeward bound...

Thoughts on NZ
Home is where your loved ones are. Wellington is a great city. Kebabs are nearly as good as burritos. In fact, they are the NZ burrito. NZ is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Wham! is overlooked as the best soft pop-rock band. Ever. Soft pop-rock is either overrated or underrated depending on what song is playing at any given moment. NZ plays soft pop-rock as ambiance music EVERYWHERE. ...
