The KIWI invasion

It seems that no matter where you go in the world you seem to find certain people. It may be racism, stereo-typing or coincidence  but there always seems to be a Indian family running a store, a Asian running a food joint, some street or monument named after a Scotsman and a Irishman is somewhere in the mix.

One of my favourite shows  is  the cartoon ‘Pinky and the Brain’  They have two catch phrases…

Gee, Brain. What are we going to do tonight?
The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.

or

Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

I Ponder on how much of the planet Kiwis have spread over (infected?).

They used to publish maps that showed the spread of communism in red, I thought it would be interesting to take a world map and mark every place in the world there is a kiwi living in black, not just the big places, but every little speck on the earth.

There would have to be rules for the reporting, feel free to suggest improvements to the idea or to participate.

Some suggested rules:

• The Kiwi must be born a Kiwi, or have spent at least 10 years in New Zealand.
• The Kiwi must be living or working in the area, not just quickly visiting (perhaps there could be two maps, one where Kiwis have been, the other where Kiwis are)
• There must be proof of some sort that the Kiwi is there – as sadly there are always people willing to spoil anything and the project will only be of use if the information is verifiable and correct.
