Serbia to Tokyo 
Serbia like Nokia, more like (each year a new model and it's getting smaller)
Don't forget the none-states that also make up the US
Puerto Rico: Chupacabaras Demand Statehood...and Rabbit Blood
Washington, DC: No, it doesn't stand for Dick Cheney (just don't tell him that)

...NZ motto these days ? - 'yes I'm the minister of foreign affairs, but no, I'm not member of the governement, but yes I'm the minister of..., but no I'm not a member of..., but yes..., but no..., but yes..., but no...' 
Well it's a province not a state, but contenders would be.
"Fuck ye!" "yer ma!" "I'll nack yer ballic in" "Do you know who my da is, I'll have ye shat!"
Cambridge - More than just the University, but not much more...

we have an awesome nuclear free policy-so theeeeere maayyte.
...for sure - a beautiful country, I was there four times in my life, and it's indeed nuclear free (as long as Aunt Helen is on top) - good one... 
...btw., are the babies murderer from South-AKL (Manukau?) arrested finally ?...
Should be something like
'here look at all our grass, now leave your money & go'
or
'we hate the Brits so much, we copy everything they do'
although, in the last 2 years, I think it's become
'160,000 Polish migrants can't be wrong' (not slagging Poles BTW - each one I've met has been really nice, & the ladies all seem to be 'fine things')

I think I've heard that the job market is so booming in Ireland that they've been trying to attract immigrants, hence all the Poles. Any need for a 30 somthing mechanical engineer with middling skills?
four times...im impressed little mouse. how long were you here? did you see the dreamy beaches ooooohhhh yeeaah,forest/bush...ahhh the smell of freedom!
no arrests yet. i does my head in -people killing their children. stop killing children you freakin neanderthals
...each time I was a month in NZ... ...mostly being invited from private people, to stay in their houses (best thing ever was to be re-invited from them)... ...I was showed of more places, than a normal tourist ever could be, 'cause of not knowing it...
...all in all a great experience, and of course I'll come back (maybe in 2007)...
great .i love this country.
good place to swim , walk around.friendly people. i think the rest of the world is just as beautiful though,whats your location like? very curious i am. i have no idea what its like where you live, (hills-trees?? mountain ,water)
its a very sunny day at the moment,,very blissful

Actually, the answer is probably YES
...well Kristi, I was born, and I grow up in a small village in the austrian alps, with many mountains around up 3000 meters high...
...as you can imagine that I loved the westside of the south Island (Franz Josef and Fox area)...
...now I live in the capital city of my home country, Vienna, it has a 'green belt' around the city so we have relaxing zones not far of the city center...

We would if people would stop moving here from the East Coast. Place is getting so crowded I need some space. Idaho does sound nice. Think I'll move the family of 50 up there. Thanks for the tip!

You bet, 68. Head to the eastern side of the state. Great scenery and you're close enough to SLC for your family of 50 to reproduce and become a family of 400.

Yeah, I've always thought that was the coolest state motto. I wanted to move to NH just so I could get one of those license plates!
don't both ohio and north carolina have 'first in flight' as their state motto? i get north carolina because of kitty hawk, but what the hell's up with ohio? did the wright brothers spend the night there or something?
Doctor? wrote: I'm fairly sure the Wrights were not actually from you the Carolinas, no?
they weren't, but if all ohio can come up with for a motto is that the wrights were from there, then that doesn't say much for ohio in my book. i think north carolina wins the rights to the wright brothers.
maybe: ohio! we've got lots of rubber-making factories!

Oooh, we went to Galway (from Sydney!)(With a baby!) with our engineering skills and ended up living lavishly for six months before being retrenched! 'twas grand! Best six months of my life.
Galway is about as big as our chinatown but they gave us a driver.
