2016 - New Zealand is one of the best countries in the world! Auckland, NZ, Dr Mobiles LImited 0800429429 iPhone Repair

http://goo.gl/Ff6kBK

New Zealand
has once again been named one of the best countries in the world.

In the first ever Best Countries rankings from US News, Aotearoa made the list at number 11, narrowly missing out on the top ten.

The report was based on how global perceptions defined a country and looked at a number of characteristics and impressions. More than 16,000 people from around the world were surveyed. 

We were beaten by our neighbour Australia, which was ranked at number six. The results were divided into a number of categories.

For adventure, New Zealand was ranked at number five, after Brazil, Italy, Spain and Thailand. 

The report said that each visitor to New Zealand would spend $2842 on tourism during their visit.

Aotearoa also performed well in the categories of citizenship (number eight), open for business (number six) and quality of life (number six).
Despite our interesting culture and history, we didn't do too well when it came to heritage - coming in at number 34. Our low ratings for history and cultural attractions could perhaps be explained by New Zealand being a relatively young country compared to others on the list.

We also scored low when it came to power (number 34), receiving a big zero for "strong military" and "politically influential".

However, our country was described in glowing terms such as "picturesque" by the report - although it seemed confused over whether Auckland or Wellington was the capital.
"The Kiwi spirit and culture are personified by such notable natives as Sir Edmund Hillary who first climbed Mount Everest in 1953 and Lord Rutherford, who split the atom," it read.
"The bungee jump, Hamilton Jet boat, referee's whistle and frozen meat are also credited to New Zealanders."

It's certainly not the first time our greatness has been recognised. A global UN report in 2015 ranked New Zealand the ninth best country in the world - an honour we share with Canada.

Also last year, Auckland's Waiheke Island was named as the fifth best destination in the world by Lonely Planet.

Some Curious Facts About Bill Gates

Together To End AIDS:  An Evening To Benefit amfAR And GBCHealth - Cocktails
 

We can easily guess what you already know about Bill Gates – that he’s the richest American (second richest person in the world now), that he’s a co-founder of the highly successful technical company, that he’s very generous and donates a lot of money for charity. But we bet you have not heard the facts we collected in this post.

1. 85% of the world’s population makes less than $200 a month. Bill Gates makes $290 per second.
His wealth never stops growing and he’s becoming richer and richer.

2. Bill Gates said that he always gives the laziest people the hardest jobs, because they’ll find the easiest way to do it.
He prefers to work smarter, not harder.

3. Arrogant, bullying, Ruthless, Stubborn. Just a few of the many words former and present-day colleagues say when describing Bill Gates.
He can be conniving and stingy, yet extremely generous.

4. As of April 2010, Bill Gates had donated over $36,854,000,000 in his lifetime, which is almost half of his current net worth of $79 billion.
And he even did much more – he convinced his billionaire peers (Mark Zuckerberg, Ted Turner, Warren Buffett, and George Lucas included) to join him and donate majority of their money for charity.

5. If Bill Gates dropped a 1,000 dollar bill he’d make it back in about 3 and a half seconds.
His annual income is about 82 billion dollars.

6.  Bill Gates has an Genius IQ of 160. Which is what Albert Einstein had.
Psychologists were stunned by his mental abilities when he was only 4.

7. Bill Gates will only leave less than $10,000,000 for each of his 3 children, “So they can make their own way.”
Instead of leaving money to their children Bill and Melinda are going to give it to their foundation focusing on poor health and poverty.

8. At a spending rate of $1 million everyday, it would take Bill Gates about 218 years to spend all of his money.
Bill says it’s normal for people to want a million dollars, but according to him when one goes beyond that he realizes it does not change anything considerably.

9. Bill Gates has enough money to send every single 18-year-old person in the country, to a 4 year college.
But he surely does not have to respond for every person in the country less fortunate and smart then he is.

10. Bill Gates changed his school’s program codes so he was placed in class with mostly female students.
The high school’s scheduling program written by Bill brought him to an English class full of girls.

Top Ten (10) List: The World's Best Nude Beaches (people, places, lifestyle, sea, resort, holiday)

10. Bellevue Beach, Klapenburg, Denmark
bellevue-beach-denmark-01Image: Vivi Labo
Since it is close to the city (six miles north of Copenhagen), this beach can get quite crowded on sunny days. The crowd is young and loud music is common, but the beach itself is beautiful; the clear water and stone-free sand make it perfect for beach and water sports. If you prefer to just lie down and soak up some sun, you can take in the spectacular view of Sweden and the Bresund Bridge that links the two countries.

9. Gunnison Beach, Sandy Hook, New Jersey
Gunnison Beach, Sandy HookGunnison Beach, located on the Sandy Hook peninsula in the northeast corner of New Jersey, has been officially recognized as a clothing optional beach for several decades. In fact, it is probably the largest and most firmly established nud* beach on the East Coast of the United States. There are even signs that warn visitors that they may encounter nude sunbathers beyond a certain point. This huge sandy beach attracts a large and diverse crowd on hot summer days; the families, couples and singles mingling together will instantly make you feel comfortable.

8. Cap d'Agde, France
map-of-Cap-Dagde
Located west of the famous Côte d'Azur region in the South of France, this busy resort area is known as the "nak*d city." Besides sunbathing and swimming, you can do your shopping, banking and dining in the buff along this terrific three-mile-long beach. Although it can get quite packed in the summer, the festive atmosphere and great weather will make it worth your while.

7. Morfa Dyffryn, North Wales, UK
Morfa dy
Considered the best n-u-d-e beach in the UK by many, Morfa Dyffryn is situated on the Welsh coast between Barmouth and Harlech. On warm summer days, up to 500 nat*rists enjoy the fine sand and clear water of this beautiful mile-long beach, which never seems crowded due to its size. Visitors include families, singles and couples, although the northern part of the beach is mostly frequented by a gay crowd. The good news is that Morfa Dyffryn is large enough to give all types of nude sunbathers enough breathing space.

6. Orient Beach, St. Martin, West Indies
Orient BeachPossibly the biggest and most popular public n-u-d-e beach in the West Indies, the nat*rist part is located at the south end, near Club Orient. But thanks to a St. Martin law that prohibits any waterfront property from being privately owned, you can visit even if you're not staying at the resort. You can even have lunch completely nak*d at Club Orient's outdoor restaurant, as evidenced by the sign that says "No shirt, no problem."

5. Tulum Beach, Tulum, Mexico
Tulum_Beach-Mexico_resize
The rustic cabanas of Cabañas Copal Hotel Tulum are nestled in a small clearing in the tropical forest overlooking the most private nud* beach in Tulum. If you're looking for a quiet and peaceful environment for your nat*rist experience, this is the place to be. You can be nud* just about everywhere (the beach, the sandy terraces, the cabanas); you are only requested to wear simple, light clothing when dining in the restaurant. Besides sunbathing on the fine white sand and swimming in the crystal-clear Caribbean waters, you may want to visit the nearby Mayan ruins or one of the many crystal clear cenotes -- natural freshwater pools ideal for swimming, snorkeling or diving.

4. Baker Beach, San Francisco, California
Baker beach san francisco
Located only minutes from downtown San Francisco and offering an incredible view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Baker Beach is one of North America's hottest urban nat*rist beaches. The atmosphere is friendly and the crowd is mixed, including a lot of students. Although the water is usually on the cold side, the beach gets really busy on hot days due to its proximity to the city. In several areas, you will find many fully clothed people just "passing through"; you may even encounter a few annoying gawkers. If this happens, just ask someone how to get to North Baker Beach. While the northern part is mainly gay, this is also where most of the nud*sts congregate.

3. Mazo Beach, Mazomanie, Wisconsin
bareazz_story1
Located on the Wisconsin River between Sauk City and Mazomanie, this sandy riverbed beach is well known for its friendly atmosphere. Aside from regular beach activities such as volleyball, there are many organized events like the Nud* Olympics and "Christmas in July." On some weekends, a hot tub or trampoline is even brought down to the beach for some added excitement. At night, beachgoers gather around campfires to enjoy the starry sky and cheerful camaraderie. Just keep in mind that the river can be dang*rous due to its strong currents, which means that you should never swim alone.

2. Swanbourne Beach, Perth, Australia
Swanbourne Beach Perth WA
This official n-u-d-e beach boasts impressive white sand dunes that attract hundreds of nat*rists to its shores. Local rules don't apply here, which explains why you are permitted to take it all off. Since gawkers are frowned upon and it is pretty much expected for everyone to go nude, you should be prepared to follow suit. In January or February, Swanbourne hosts the famous Nud* Beach Olympics. Now don't get any twisted ideas; it's a family event!

1. Playa d'Es Cavallet, Ibiza, Spain
ibiza_es_cavallet_05_09-2-2d04b
Playa d'Es Cavallet, characterized by a broad beach and rolling sand dunes, is one of the "official" (and biggest) nud*st spots on the island. While the northern part of the beach may be best suited for families and prudes, the middle section is often occupied by couples who "disappear" into the sand dunes (wink, wink), and the southern end is mainly g ay. But no matter where you choose to park it, you'll find that the atmosphere is always lively thanks to the little bars and pubs that dot the beach. And the fine white sand makes it perfect for a leisurely stroll or an exciting game of beach volleyball.

The Best Circus/Cafe in the World! Circus Cafe, Mt Eden Road, Auckland, New Zealand

Right after visiting Mt Eden and I stopped by the Circus Cafe (447 Mount Eden Road, Mount Eden 1024, Auckland) for a warm cup of latte. It is cosy and the theme of a circus brings back my childhood memory (i.e. the elephant, clowns, the Strong Man, but not coffee or latte!) You will find that the Circus Cafe is fill with rich aroma of reshly roasted cafe, cosy and warm atmosphere.

It is located next to a chruch and you cannot miss it as it is in blood red color. It is an original idea of a Kiwi cafe in terms of design and layout. It fits right in the iconic small suburb of Mt Eden. If you ask around, you will find that Circus cafe is famous for its Roasted Addiction coffee for the past 12 years.

The business hours is from 7AM to 11PM, seven days a week, a good place to hang out during cold winter month!

See the arial view of the Circus Cafe I took from the top of Mt Eden.
