souvenir shops

I was being told that in the 1900's, there were SEVEN million Sheep!! SEVEN MILLION!! and the human population is only a third of that...WOW...no wonder we all have the impression that NZ has more sheep than human..hahaha....the sheep population has decreased already because sheep business is deteriorating...and farmers switched to cattle instead...so now, they could have SEVEN millions of cattle and sheep!! when i was going from Christchurch to Queenstown the other day...eventhough there were a lot of farms..but i didnt see a lot of sheep...didnt know where they went...anyway, i think after sheep and cattle, the second most popular thing i see in NZ is SOUVENIR SHOPS...they are everywhere...no matter where you turn, where you go...there are always souvenir shops...i know NZ is famous for its tourism..but..this is too much...i think i shopped mostly at souvenirs shops than any other shops when i was there...im surprised at the amount of business...NZ really has a lot of tourists...who knows..mayb even locals shop at souvenir shop too...coz they sell all sorts of things...from T-shirt to boots to food....mayb that's why...BTW folks, im still suffering from jetlag and since i will be out in china again tomorrow and no access to blogger...i figured i should just drop by and say something... ^^
