Need info on "normal" life outside of the USA

[Kiwi Michelle]

[SIZE=3]There is nothing "normal" about life in New Zealand....we are all crazy people who talk funny and drive on the wrong side of the road.
We have lots of sheep which "most" men don't sleep with!!

We don't have hobbits, orcs or wallabies!!

yah its still true today. another thing is that aside from working 8 hours a day most of them still do overtime from 2 to 6 hours a day.

in japan they do something called [SIZE=2]inemuri, where during the work day you're allowed to fall asleep as long as you stay sitting up straight (they do it in parliament!) This small nap means you focus more when you wake up, and it makes you look good (because it looks like you've been working hard/want to)

interesting concept i think -

[SIZE="2"]Are you sure about that last statement?[/SIZE]
I could have sworn I have seen something on the discovery channel on orcs and hobbits. So the women sleep with the sheep?

thread resurrection viathe search function, buuut... nobody mentioned this one..

Often cigar smokers smoke blends that come entirely from the fabled island of Cuba. Some rum drinkers prefer their rum, too!!!
