    I *heart* NZ too. Never been there, but wanting to go so bad. My sister has gone *grumble* and she is gonna go again.

    One day… oh one day

    Kathleen – the guy doing the voice over cracks me up. He’s an actor down here in NZ.

    Christine – I’d love to see you down here one day.

    Jodie – maybe one day, huh? It is beautiful. Not that I’m biased or anything!

    Such a gorgeous country!
    One day… one day…
    NZ is just so darn far away for someone who dreads planes!

    Ahahahah…. that’s awesome. I’m sold. A dictionary straight from NZ? What’s better than that??

    That was a scream! The voiceover was priceless. “You can see these – whatever they are.” And “Best country in the world – well, for miles, anyway.” LOL!

    My cousin, her husband and then-toddler daughter spent six months in New Zealand while he took a vacationing doctor’s patients. He’d always, always longed to go, so it was a dream-come-true trip for him.

    That was hilarious. Is battered lamb considered a delicacy?

    Jane – honestly, I’ve no idea. I’d never heard of it until I saw it in the ad. Not that I’d go looking for it though, since I’m a vegetarian.

    That’s a great ad!! Makes me want to go there even more.

    I so want to go to New Zealand … I’ve said that before though right.

    Hehehe – it’s such a great add! There are a few good ones on right now. The Pineapple Lump one always makes me laugh!!!

    LOL – the pineapple one always cracks me up too. I also love the clever toys ads from Telecom – “Olga’s gone and the gorilla is ready to partay!”
