Impressions of New Zealand - Part 4 of 5

31. I have tickets to a performance of Miss Saigon that will likely NOT include a helicopter. Or this guy (note: photo is actually from the Toronto South Pacific). But I'm hopeful that it will still be awesome.



32. Japan has a 10-year limit on vehicle life. 11-year old Toyotas are put out to pasture in New Zealand, and are consequently very cheap.

33. New Zealand doesn't let you get married if you'rea non-resident. Probably to avoid a bunch of American gays from getting married, then going back and ruining the sanctity of marriage in the US.

34. Job interviews are terrifying. Especially if they let you talk freely for five minutes to start it off. And you spend two minutes rambling on about Shih Tzus.

35. Bondi Rescue is the greatest TV show on Earth. Admittedly, there might be a program in Uzbekistan that I haven't seen yet, but I'm confident that I'm right.

36. You can easily tell what time a Dunedin woke up, and thus got dressed, based on how they're dressed.
7am - coat, toque, pants
10am - shorts, t-shirt
12pm - pants, coat
3pm - rain jacket, umbrella.

37. Living next to a daycare is awesome because it's dead quiet after 6pm and on weekends.

38. Pie would be supremely popular in Canada. $4 for a steak-and-cheese filled pastry sounds like exactly what Timmy's customers would go for.

39. Poutine is not in New Zealand. GRRR.

40. In 2010, the Commerce building inevitably has the best facilities on any university campus.
