well, after many isralis calling this city on the name of the invisible child, i decided i'll start a campaign against it. but then i thought about it for a while and decided that it will be a waste of time. dunedin is a small city, and by saying that i mean it is quite big in new-zealand terms, it has quite a few streets in, but the main street is still the highway - and nothing much to do around...
on the way to the city, i've drove through the "Presidential Highway" (a road connecting two small towns named Gore and Clinton - and i don't know which was named first, them or the highway) - after that it suddenly hit me, the KIWIs (that's how the NZ people call themselves) are really looking for something to hold on to, something to be proud of. here are a few examples:
- i've been swimming in "The second most deepest lake in the northern part of the southern lands in the south island".
- i drank (and pointed to this place by the depatment of conservation) in a pub signed "A Historic Pub" - since the 1950's!
- they are really fanatic about rugby (and just try to say a word about the "All Black" rugby team...) - and c'mon, it's just rugby! they are almost the only country playing!
an old cathedral they are proud of, 100 years old...
they drink the beer without head at all!
can't remember why i took this picture, but it was a bit to the end of the tour...
