The other end of the world is not upside down - though, hhmmm, after a while you think it is. NZ people seem to be very relaxed about everything. Taking it easy is a very good life-style, I think.
NZ is a daytime-life country. If you don't get up at seven you miss half of what happens. Opening hours. Everything in NZ was closed, at least when I wanted to buy or visit something. It takes a week to get used to shops closing at 5 p.m. or earlier. Some markets around populated areas were open until 7 or 8 > though - how many populated areas are there? *L*
Auckland: mini-volcano bumps, wonderful beaches around the city & the most incredible, fantastic television tower I've ever seen.
Rumours are true. Finding people in NZ is like looking for an empty parking space in Hamburg. There are a lot of cows and sheep and nothing else around. I wonder what the South Island might be like...
Gravel roads are regarded as completely normal. That struck me because I didn't expect it.
