You'd better be. NZ has only five million people living in a spatial 270,000km² island. Compare that to our tiny and populous 700km² patch (which is barely visible on a map, and smaller than Rakiura), housing six million souls. Third highest population density in the world.

That's a little hard for me to comprehend, The island I live on is ~100km² with a population of ~10,000 and a density of ~100.0 people / km²
vs your ~7,500 people / km²

Poor you.

Waiheke?

Well, I would like to live a little outside, more sheep than people, be able to see the sea.
If you're looking for the absolute adrenaline kick, you're welcome to take a walk through my state capital at two in the morning on a summer night, or even there on the riverbank.
Have you survived this unscathed, you will have also a good day, thinking God loves you.

If they are looking for adventure, you are also welcome to apply for government assistance because of Corona, which awakens the mind and body.

Or just wait until they are visited at night by traveling thieves, that sit then certainly great cinema, lots of action.

Sounds lovely. Which part of Japan is that?

Hi TI-994A
Saki is just an avatar, I live in germany.
I don't want to badmouth the city and the county / country, but sometimes you really have the impression that it's enough of everything.

Wow! The name, avatar, and even signature simply screamed Japan. One of my in-laws are from Bayreuth in Bavaria.

For me, it also screamed "whale" and "bus"

Could be a Japanese person living in Germany (he only said he lives there).

Search for "walbus" and you know.

Always thought thats walbus.

To guess is not to know Mijikai.

There are more people here who use Japanese names and live in Germany.
Maybe they are also Japanese, or born in Germany, or have a Japanese parent,
or neither.

There are even some who appear here under different names at the same time.
But even that hardly anyone is interested in a programming forum.

I have a close relationship to the Japanese culture and its history.
The way people think is very familiar to me.

An avatar is a representative, an artificial person.
LunaSole, for example, will immediately recognize the connection when he reads Pandora as the place of residence.

Almost all here appear under a pseudonym.
"Nomen est Omen".
The avatar can make a reference to a person.
But there is also the exact opposite, so that the avatar shows what the real person would like to be, but is absolutely not.
But again, this hardly interests anyone in a programming forum.

Another guess...
User walbus no longer exists in this forum.
Saki has overtaken threads started by walbus.

What is your clue?

oh yes poor indeed, it's embarrassing. The rest of the worlds in a complete mess and I don't even notice lockdown.
It's perhaps ironic that kiwis naturally queue and stand two meters apart but wearing a mask now that's novel.
