First the Japs came and took every stick of wood, ear of rice and peice of treasure they could lay hands on from 1910 - 1945, Then the place was flattened from northern boarder to southern boarder and back again in the Korean war. So they've literally gone from a bombed out landscape of chimney stacks amidst rubble (I kid ye not, I've seen lots of photos)to being the 11th largest economy in the world and still expanding rapidly. NZ seems like a sleepy old town by comparison. Part of the reason they've done so well is they don't tollerate PC sociaist-feminist BS. It still has it's anomolies - male only draft. However I recommend western men come here to experience being in a culture that values it's menfolk way more then the like of nz. Yes, there are lots of vacancies here Al D.
