Frog Lake

place. Canadian town with wide-open friendly multi-racial populace and economy largely based on peat-moss excavation. Historically the scene of some minor dust-ups in the settlement of the west by non-paleoanimists, Frog Lake has grown over the years from a watering place for wandering herds of bison entrancers to a source of inspiration to both Canadian constitutional experts and quilt makers.

Home to both the third-best hockey team in north-western Saskatchewan and the largest interpretive centre between Frank and Esterhazy.

I hear the crime rate in Frog Lake is pretty low . Kudos to the populace.

Really? Where'd you hear that?

Wellington

place. Only the best city in New Zealand! Struth! From the beehive-shaped legislative buildings to the furnicular railroad that takes you down to the cricket rink there is little about Wellington that won't stop your heart with its grandeur.

Taken off the natives by enterprising Europeans in the seventeenth century, Wellington was rapidly developed into a pasture for sheep.

Rugby is played a bit but the terrain isn't really favourable and the people are more likely to follow lawn bowling or rounders.
Wellington is nearly as pretty as Christchurch and, with a good bit of work, could be as interesting as Auckland.

Without the first-class rugby.

Right.
