Foreign Correspondent

I wanted to get a post in before Thanksgiving weekend and set out what I see as my role as the only foreigner currently posting on this board (and I believe the rules stipulate a strict limit for overseas players?)

Via this blog I intend to keep everyone up to date on the latest happenings of global importance taking place in New Zealand. This will be relatively straightforward, as I have been checking the New Zealand news websites for globally important stories since I arrived in the US in August last year, and I have not yet found one.

We are heading up to Massachusetts for Thanksgiving this year, and thanks must go to our gracious hosts. Invitations to thanksigivng were a little thin on the ground this year (no doubt due to the subprime mortgage debacle) but we would have gone to Massachusetts anyway, cause its the home of Thanksgiving. I have been reading many interesting websites on this unique American holiday, and if I could insert a link to any then I would. Suffice it to say, pilgrim costumes are clearly a must and the President pardons turkeys... exceptional.
