(Or, I am as much an American as you are an Australian!) Inudat, I was just playin' wit' ya. After all, being a resident of the Americas, you are an American by the same definition that makes a Guatamelan or an Uruguayan an American. I, on the other hand, am separated from the continent of Australia by 2000 kilometres of water, and the fact that we speak English here.

And we don't stop Bostonians from being Americans just cause *they don't speak American.

How far apart do you think the North and South Islands are? As a child I was fascinated to discover that a sizeable chunk of Te Ika a Maui lies South of the northernmost tip of Te Wai Pounamu. People swim between the North and South Islands aon a reasonably regular basis, the last being a 14 year old. I am not sure how many have swum from here to the West Island.

Ah, but the South Island and the West Island are closer together than are Long Island (the one in New York {or Nueva York, as the natives call it}) and Catalina Island.
