Another newspaper I looked through this morning was the Grisborne Herald out of New Zealand, and like the other newspapers i have read from the lands down under it was similar in stature to the US newspapers. One thing I did find interesting is an article on the Salvation Army as I did not realize that they had the Salvation Army down there. but probaly the most interesting article I found was one about some hooligans who vandalized a local golf course with their truck by driving it all across the fairways and greens causing a large amount of damage and the amount of money it will cost to fix it is still unknown. Also the vandals are still at large and police are on the look out for them. I guess this hits me pretty close because I am an avid golfer and just wonder why people would ruin a beautful golf course. I guess it goes to show that their are idiotic people everywhere you go. Another interesting thing from this online newspaper was that it had an automatic death and birth update system, that would let you know when some one was born or when they died almost as soon as the news was released, which is a little disconcerting because if you saw your relatives name pop up there all of a sudden what would you think. Overall this was another interesting read for New Zealand.
