True, there is a huge amount of capital invested in Agriculture and farms, but there is a huge amount of geothermal activity in NZ and some really untouched pieces of land where hardly anyone can reach unless you go by foot or Canoe.
That is the more glorious NZ that most people miss. Cows and Sheep are somewhat more blatant but a tiny percent of a kiwi perspective.
Jaye Jang, ChristChurch is alright but the only attraction that I really know about is that they have giant pieces of art all over the place.
Like a giant sperm...

Oh I didn't at all mean to say that sheep are everywhere there or that cows are everywhere here, they just seem to make up about the same percentage of the population here as there. I suppose it would have made more sense if I actually described the place but for some unknown reason I just assumed that everyone would have the same mental picture that I do, which is a pretty idiotic thing to think. Home for me is bordered on the west by the Blue Ridge Mountains and on the north by the Potomac River. The mountains are pretty sparsely populated, thickly wooded, and mostly unspoiled but the foothills are covered in rather verdant pastures which makes them a great place for cattle and horses, though these days there seem to be way more cows than horses. At the same time all of this is less than an hour and a half from a handful of major cities, but I don't think any of them have a giant sperm.

No worries, it's just a horrid steriotype I fight tooth and nail.
As for where your home is, it sounds very picturesque and beautiful. I'm quite fascinated with other gorgeous geographical locations.
I was brought up in place somewhat similar to what you described, except it was in the middle of nowhere and there was a big Volcanoe in the background of virtually everything. When I got bored my Dad would take me out into the desert and unleash me with a motorbike to go exploring, so long as I didn't go into any zones which had live firing or artillery.

Anarasha, Went to Denmark when I was stationed overseas. Thought it was kind of cool, actually.
Corpsey, thanks for the pic; however, I don't think I'd want to meet that in a dark alley (unless, of course, I was packing a flame thrower).

No. Probably somewhere where I have family. Don't actually want to say on the Internet.

Los Angeles. ... it's alright, after you take away the part I live in... and the government... and the rich people... and some of the middle class people...
OK so basically Hollywood and Downtown rule, everything else blows.
Venice is alright.
Catch, STAY IN UTAH. At least there, you're quarantined with all the other failed attempts at sane people.
