We dont have much in the way of animals but we have birds. The Tui is common in suburban gardens here, but they are beautiful and even as a local I still like seeing them. Pukekos are everywhere but for those from the UK/ Europe/ USA they’re prett exotic. Down South, Wekas are absolutely everywhere outside the cities and will walk right into people’s homes - I once experienced coitus interruptus when a Weka jumped up on the bed I was in with a guy.

some verified, well-documented quotes from Guevara himself:

• “Individualism must disappear!”

• “I am the most important thing in the world…” (I suppose the irony escaped him.)

• “Certainly, we execute! And we will continue executing as long as it is necessary!”

• “We don’t need proof. We manufacture the proof.”

• “Besides, to execute a man we don’t need proof of his guilt. We only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him. It’s that simple.”

• “I’d like to confess, Papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.”

• “The happiest days of a youth’s life is when he watches his bullets reaching an enemy.”

• “The people’s cooperation can often be coaxed by the use of systemic terror.”
