Now days it's the poor Kiwis who are so like Aussies you really cant tell the difference.<br /><br />Hi Windsmoke, It IS a national sport! It's right up there with Football and Rugby...and they love to poke fun at us as well.<br /><br />I hope you're well Spiral, When you first wrote about those problems with men I wasn't surprised at all. Massage is a wide term and still used constantly during advertisements for shady activities. I'm sure these misunderstanding are constant and world wide.Tempohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023337124226272532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915802695401210134.post-3935306039653995932011-11-18T10:11:08.020+10:302011-11-18T10:11:08.020+10:30Quite a few of those are new for me.

I met some German tourists and talking about careers, I mentioned I don't use the term "Swedish Massage" in my advertising as men seem to think it's code for "erotic" massage. Anyway, the Germans were surprised - huh, Sweden gets that image over here? I talked of the stereotype of jacuzzis and porn. They found that amusing and then recounted that they went to Holland and were surprised to learn that the Dutch hold that stereotype about Germans!Spiralhttp://mymandorla.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915802695401210134.post-12613031350186456322011-11-18T08:34:59.080+10:302011-11-18T08:34:59.080+10:30Very humourous indeed all of 'em made me laugh...Very humourous indeed all of 'em made me laugh because their's nothing like taking the hiss out of New Zealanders its almost a national sport :-).Windsmoke.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12225394580987872677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915802695401210134.post-67523175036028877712011-11-18T07:42:15.389+10:302011-11-18T07:42:15.389+10:30I'm afraid the Americans poke fun at us Canadi...I'm afraid the Americans poke fun at us Canadians.
