Is NewZealand trying to ape US of A?


It's been a long time since I crapped on my blogsite. Getting along with my Masters in Engineering is one thing. Cannot give another excuse. Probably my laziness.

Anyway, I've been thinking so much these days whenever I see a signboard here in Auckland.
Right from the street signboards to the motorway signboards to milestones, everything looks the way it is in USA. Though I haven't been to the United states, I have watched a lot of hollywood movies. I keep guessing what the reason could be.

I also wonder if similar signboards are present in Australia. The parking spaces are no exception.
I once saw a sign a pavement that read "on this site in 1897 nothing happened".
I thought it was some lunatic has come up with a lame signboard. But I happened to spot it on a bar that features in a US based sitcom. Curious to know more about it, I googled it up, but ended up finding nothing about it. I came to know that it is present almost everywhere in USA, but couldn't find any reason why it is present in a country that is almost miles away form the place it originated. Silly isn't it?
