And yet it's a funny thing: I go to the USA and Japan and both places seem filthy rich, especially Japan. That place is like the Jetsons, with iPads.

People in NZ and Australia talk about the foreign economic crises while ignoring our own rapidly-faltering economies. (NZ in particular is eating itself, and has a shocking residential property bubble the likes of which the world has seldom seen.)

But when our own economies finally "correct" -- and they absolutely will -- we'll all be talking about how good they have it overseas and dusting off the passports.
