I am married to a Kiwi, who is currently back in Kiwiland. We were bombed out of house and home, literally. Our compound was one of those hit on 12 May. Thankfully, we were Stateside so my 4 and 2 year olds did not have to go through it.
You are right, most Kiwis are not amused when acused of being Ozzie.
Actually, I have worked here for about 11 years, training the Saudi National Guard. The pay has been good, and until recently, most of the natives have been friendly.
