Think Big

Went with Neil and Jenny to the Pacifika festival at Western Springs, an annual celebration of the Pacific Islands. While we were there, listening to a band, youth hostel colleague Coco Windmill spotted me, and later asked if they were my parents!

I ask you, just what is it with New Zealanders and giant models of things? I mean, they have...

... the giant dog at Tirau...

... (with the giant sheep keeping it company next to it)...


... The Big Cow at Matamata...


... and of course our old friend the giant Santa above Whitcoulls here on Queen Street.

New Zealand is the new Las Vegas.
