Cheviot, New Zealand

Cheviot is a small village of only 400 people located in the South Island of New Zealand. We lived there a few months with some 40 000 sheep. Tim & Heidi who we met in South Africa had invited us over.

Cows were looking curiously at us in the paddock in Cheviot. They followed us all the way they could. Please note that the mating photos Santeri took in our flat are XXX rated. Not the one where Päivi and Heidi discussing literature, namely Hobbit by Tolkien. Or the typical mountain view from Wanaka. Does that look somehow familiar? Actually the Lord of The Rings was filmed here so many of the views might indeed be recognizable to Tolkien fans.

We made also a few presentations during our stay: Hitchhiker's guide to New Zealand and Cheviot 150th anniversary.

Statistics has always been Päivi's Achilles' heel. She has been struggling even with the most basic formulas and calculations mixing up averages, medians, and probabilities. To tackle her weakness, Päivi decided to get her 3rd PhD degree on statistics. Her first PhD was on Finnishness (Tampere University, Finland) and the second on Global Nomads (Tilburg University, Netherlands) . The newest thesis is on Qualitative Statistics, which is a new, emerging research area thanks to the booming Artificial Intelligence research.

Tips for Travelling and Surviving in the Balkans as a Vegan

Image
Eating in local restaurants in the Balkans can be a bore as there are only a couple of vegan options available: mixed salad, french fries and Italian pasta with aglio and olio. Even rice is often cooked in broth. However, there is fresh produce available almost throughout the year, from early spring to late fall. Strawberries, cherries, apricots, nectarines, peaches, apples, pears, and plums abound, and vegetables are tasty. Beans and lentils are also part of local diet as well as walnuts and hazelnuts.
