Aidan,when I was a boy I lived in Limassol,pre and after 74.
I remember the UN peace keepers who were staying at the Curium Palace Hotel,they were all from New Zealand.Our family became very friendly with them and my father is still in contact with them to this day.

Purdey,I knew 2 guys who served in the British Army in Cyprus at different times in the 1950's.One of them was based up near Kyrenia when his section was shot at,& the section commander fired back.It turned out that the commander's bullet had put an EOKA terrorist to death.

New Zealand is a poorer country now than 30 years ago,thanks to the politicians being so corrupt & a bunch of thieving bigots.The worst New Zealand politicians are those who are Roman Catholics of Irish descent,as they want to see New Zealand as a banana republic complete with an apartheid system.

6 months is the usual time you need to have before the passport expires.

Funny enough and on a serious note here Aida I was talking about that to a groups of friends in the UK before I moved to Cyprus as one of the group had been to NZ to see his wife's life long penfriend .

The general feeling was that the export of new Zealand lamb to the world in general has fallen over the years plus the use of synthetic fibers for clothing so the wool industry has suffered too .

New Zealand lamb was once regarded as the best you could buy but you hardly see it in the shops nowadays .

I'm sure this has had a major impact on NZ's economy

NZ is to far away from the general world to benefit very much from the tourist industry and it seems a very much a forgotten land that has just about had it's day.

I don't think the Irish Catholic politicians have anything to do with the countries decline except in your own racist and bigoted mind.
