We're deprived of mammals. I found the squirrels in CA so endearing, but when I cooed over them the locals would look at me strangely and call them tree rats.

I've heard that foxes in the UK have become so urbanized that people leave food out for them the way you would hedgehogs.

My cousin Andrew works for Weta Digital. He was responsible for the balrog.

But we really are mostly harmless. (Keas are hilarious!)

And north, are we talking polar bears? or just bears?

Seriously, the biggest danger you face in New Zealand is that the ridiculous amount of food and drink on offer will give you a heart attack.

It's surprising what'll taste good on a pizza.

A different pizza joint in town serves one with crocodile marinated in coconut and sweet chilli, and another with beef and bearnaise sauce.

I've never had pizza from Chicago.

(I've had clam chowder from Seattle, does that count?)

I might have to track down more of his.

Thanks so much for your working life post, and for the thought that went into it.

I'm sorry it took me so long to reply to it. I couldn't find the words to do it justice.
