Time seems to slow down in Puhoi Village. In this enclave 30 minutes north of Auckland, you'll find the ancestors of the Bohemian immigrants who settled here 150 years ago still wearing traditional dress as they wander past the century-old church and the shop that sells oysters and chips wrapped in newspaper. Children still learn the language of their homeland. In summer there's a wood-chopping competition on the lawn of the old pub, and in winter you can take your favourite game dish to the wild food night. "It's neat," says Bob Gilhooly. "It's like something you'd see in a village in Europe."
