4 years ago today I was on a career break travelling in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. New Zealand was one of the last countries I visited on my itinerary, and I completely fell in love with it. In my opinion, it's one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. Additionally, all the people I met over there were really nice.
It's sad that the country suffered a terror attack last Friday, targeting its Muslim immigrant community. Fortunately, the perpetrator was arrested, and the Kiwis are doing everything possible to give him the punishment he deserves without providing any platform to further advance his deranged views.
Update: On the 21st of March the New Zealand government announced a ban on military-style semi-automatics and assault rifles. Well done!
