damian 0 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 it can be a significant cultural thing or just something small. I like the way I can pay a bill at just about any convenience store. I also like the way you can be at the oceans edge or the top of the alps. In such a small country you don't ususally get that diversity. In that respect I guess NZ and Japan may have a bit in common.

barok 0 Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I like living in the Nag. I like having access to so many places with so much to offer, all within 90 minutes trip. I can daytrip to about a million resorts, or to Tokyo, weekend it to Kyoto, Nagoya, Osaka -wherever. Just super convenient, and not that expensive. Link to post Share on other sites
