Lol - people in Nelson consider that Nelson IS one of the big cities (being the 12th biggest city in NZ). In NZ terms it is a real monster with population upwards of 51,000 souls all living squeezed in on top of each other on 1/4 acre sections. But you are so right, it is far away from the mind poisons in Auckland Wellington and Christchurch.
they asked me what it was like living in an apartment in the USA - I said I lived in a house and they were shocked - they thought America was just one big "L.A.".
We are a long, long way away from everything. The MSM here keeps us very insular, very inward looking. I was at a big, big running event a while back and the announcer told us that the race had been won by a man from a "tiny country in Europe called the Ukraine" (like it's 2.5 times the size of Nz with 9 times our population). We don't get out much. And to be honest we're too naive and trusting for our own good - look at the terrible state we're in now because we trusted a crack ho as our PM.
