HAPPY WORLD OCEANS DAY AND WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

One of my favorite Chinese proverbs is “a picture is worth a thousand words.”

Seabird smothering in oil, on the beach of East Grand Terre Island.

It does not at all reduce the power of the maxim to acknowledge that it was coined by Frederick R. Barnard, a New York advertising manager looking to attract clients to his agency in 1921, and not by Confucius.

Kia-ora … Talofa … Hello

Welcome to my Blog.

I hope to use this space to share my thoughts and experiences in New Zealand and Samoa, as well as to convey a sense of the two Embassies' work here.

I look forward to hearing from you through our comments section, via email, or through the contacts page, since conversations are far more interesting than monologues.
