I’m from New Zealand
Nō Aotearoa ahau

If there's one thing Flight of the Concords taught me, it's that if you conflate NZ and Aussies, there will be strong words

I think my size limit is around 250 000 inhabitants. Less than that is nicer. Not as overwhelming, more approachable.

As a country girl I get anxiety going into the city. And god forbid it’s a city with trains and subways… I need a hand holder for that shite

LOL, that must be like thinking Dixie is in the USA!

Is that some kind of possum? And a mini kangaroo?? I retract my former statement! Although I don’t see any koalas… Australia had me at koalas.
North America does have one marsupial. A very ugly possum. Not too ugly as babies but they are slow as fuck and always getting run over. And they hiss

It is a possum. They’re horrid creatures and carry TB. We used to go out as kids and help dad shoot them out of the trees on the farm. Great fun.
The other is a wallaby, nasty pests found in a specific area of bush in the South Island.
Everything apart from birds here are imports. Introduced by people before we had strict borders. Now they wont let any pest in. Including @drobert44

Country boy here. Same. I'm always a little anxious whenever I need to sleep in the city. Something about all that concrete, glass, and people squished together, with not enough trees and open sky. And fucking one-way streets. Who invented that shit.

Yes, hers is the meridian time zone...starting point

Huh. Learn something knew every day

And North American possums eat ticks, which is a really good thing for humans.

I thought wallaby’s were fatter than that. Your possum is cuter than my possum. Our possums shit out something that causes Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis. Which I’m pretty sure is why my horse had to be put down

Yup I saw a dog once in the street of Manhattan and had to hug it for like 5 minutes

No dogs in Korea, they eat them.

I got stuck in a loop in downtown Austin where it's a nexus of one way streets like some horrible whirlpool. I had to pull over at a park and sit down, for my own sanity.

I unreservedly love all the possums, foxes, armadillos, and racoons that live near me. Even when they dig up the yard. Cute little buggers.

Awww I'll be your hand holder for you

Well actually… we have these two. Nasty things. Shot freely

I thought there was also a species of Sugar Glider in NZ?

I never heard that before

Well a man of/employed by god could be a really fun challenge lol. On the bucket list, lead to temptation - corrupt religious official.

I don't know if you've missed the last 4 decades or so of church sex scandals, but corrupting religious officials isn't exactly difficult.
