WORLD TOUR STOP 3: New Zealand and Australia
Here we are at International Family Magazine on the next leg of our cultural tour to “Down Under” – New Zealand and Australia.
I am so glad that Tina Lai, our resident gourmet gave us a lovely first hand account of New Zealand from the perspective of wines and the Maori traditions in her conversation with her sister Lillian. Please go read Tina Lai, Gourmet this month.
