Going To NZ Overview

Hmm.

Going to New Zealand. Literally the lowest country in the world, I was really thrilled to go there and see firsthand the beauty of that country, and simultaneously appreciate the wonder of God's creation. This is what I learnt:

1. New Zealand is one very beautiful country, and the people are usually friendly, and sociable especially in small towns.
2. New Zealand has one highway going from top to bottom: Highway 1. We often used that Highway by the way.
3. New Zealand has very beautiful cowbone carvings, but you won't need to worry about getting the best bargain: it is availible all over the country.
4. New Zealand is very dry especially in summer, but it's quite cool. So if you do want to go there, just prepare and arm yourself with sun tan and moisturising lotion.
5. New Zealand has loads of roadkill (especially rabbits and Possums) so try to ignore it as best as you can and try to run down as many possums as possible, the NZders will be grateful.
6. New Zealand Highways have a speed limit of 100 Km/hr so if you do get pulled over, just say you are a foreigner and forgot to observe the speed limit (they won't blame you).
7. New Zealand has the best mountain scenery along with simply amazing forests. The best places to go are those far from the big cities. Especially the North Island. for the South Island, visit Mt Potts Station and a place called Erewhon ('Nowhere' in reverse) near Mount Hutt (I think).
8. New Zealand has so many sheep, the ratio is literally one man to sixty sheep.
9. New Zealand is a great place for the family: just forget about your constantly quarelling parents and fumbling, snotty brother who tries to be gung ho with everything and droools in his sleep.
10. New Zealand is a great place to visit, and really, two weeks is simply not enough. Just try to leave Wanganui out of your journey: it's really a dead town and the fish and chips sucks.
11. Finally, just try not to feel envious if you can't go to NZ, just watch Lord Of The Rings, and you'll be having enough fun.
