Observations from a Canadian visiting New Zealand:
-Making NZers say "Saskatchewan" is kind of hilarious
-Roundabouts work really really well when everyone is used to them
-Drip coffee apparently does not exist here (espresso-based coffee drinks only. Even at the one Dunkin Donuts I saw in a hideous mall I had to go inside in Auckland).
-NZ signs do not play around (see example below)
@sundogplanets FWIW, a Kiwi Flying Nun band, Superette, sing 'Saskatchewan' back in 1996...

@sundogplanets I thought New Zealand was a paradise until I heard about the coffee thing. Wow.
@symbology @sundogplanets just thank your lucky stars it's not still the 20th century.

@grb090423 @sundogplanets Not exactly; with drip coffee the hot water passes through the coffee grounds once, while with percolated coffee, the coffee is continually boiled and passed through the coffee grounds until it’s undrinkable.

@grb090423 @sundogplanets I guess a pour over would be close? Do you have those in the UK?

@grb090423 @sundogplanets Yes, it looks like it

I don't personally but yes, I think we do have them here.
Appreciate your help

It's a great sign, but the hand written SNAKES, twice, and the spider, leave no doubt what country you're in...
Just add crocs, cassowaries, and stingers for FNQ. Oh, and gympie-gympie trees.

Thank you

@Xenophon @sundogplanets oh no, the drivers aren’t remotely competent, they’re good at roundabouts but barely average at everything else (myself most definitely included).
