World Famous in New Zealand

The national elections are coming up this next week and it's quite comforting to see that democracies everywhere produce some pretty strange bedfellows. Prime Minister Helen Clark is standing against National Party leader Don Brash. They have the MMP System (Mixed Member Proportional) which I have just learned about by reading Wikipedia. Give it a go by following the link. I will also post one of the funnier billboards. (I have quite a collection of them now, and still must put Maggie up - wait till you see that one!)

I have posted a new photo album showing a bit of the town of Tauranga which JB and I visited this weekend on a scouting trip. Very nice! It's got about 100,000 people and a very lively downtown. We did call on the old Burger Wisconsin site, but it appears that a deal is 95% done on that, so we may have to regroup.

We are ramping up for a big shindig on Friday. Sol Beer is sponsoring a Mexican Independence Day celebration for the 16th of September. It will be similar to what we do on Cinco de Mayo. Mariachis, free beer, the whole nine yards. This is a first for them, and will put us on the national map.

Mexicali Fresh - world famous in New Zealand since quite recently.
