NEW ZEALAND GEOGRAPHIC

This magazine was really interesting to look at and read. It had a lot a nature related articles that helped to give a good insight to that aspect of New Zealand. Much like National Geographic here, it is filled with high resolution pictures of various things.

This magazine lets you know a lot about New Zealand. If you are going to pick up a magazine about an area, my sguggestion would be to look at the ads. You can tell a lot about what people by what they are trying to sell. There were a surprising number of life insurance ads in here. Not sure what this implies, but it seems like a nice precautionary. There were also a lot of ads for whale watching. This must be something like an open bus tour in London, because they advertised it a lot.

There also articles about shooting stars and comets. This must have been a big thing that had happened during the particular month of this magazine's publication. There were some really fascinating pictures in this section. They spoke about endagered species, which was a little expected, and also glaciers and fire smoke.

Next we moved to a creepy museum with people made of wax. I barely looked at the pictures and didn't read this at all because that is just creepy to me. Then there was a huge article about deer hunting. This was really enjoyable since I religiously spend a lot of time hunting. I guess I was biased towards this and flipped to the page and read this first.

The article really captured the 'looking outward' feeling on Australia and New Zealand. There was plenty about shipping and anything in nature that needed the help of a boat to reach. This ranged from mussels, exploring islands, penguins, treasure hunting, and many more things aquaculture.

This was a very good read/look. I enjoyed this magazine and this really makes me want to travel to NZ for a few months. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to get used to.
