Few observations after a week in New Zealand….
- Driving on the wrong side of the road may never feel normal
- The money is made from a synthetic paper that is really hard (maybe impossible) to rip
- They are really big on the metric system. Even distances on golf courses are measured in meters. The red marker is at the 90 meter mark and the white is at the 135 meter mark.
- They have $2 coins and $1 coins like Canada but they also have a 50 cent coin..which is kind of cool
- They call sausages hot dogs and real hot dogs are called “American hot dogs”. I also saw a sea dog on a chinese food menu yesterday. Sheila dared me to try it and it was pretty gross…like its cousin the hot dog it is a tube of random ground up meat. But in the case of the sea dog it is all sea food and is encased in a layer of batter and is deep fried. Pretty gross.
A Sea Dog...despite the labels claim that it is delicious it is in fact anything but.
Going to the Green Day concert for Sheila’s birthday tonight. Should be fun…
