    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 I thought New Zealand was a paradise until I heard about the coffee thing. Wow.

          If I remember, Flight Coffee also does a good speciality pour-over.

                TIL what drip coffee is! (Thank you Wikipedia.)

                Not sure what we call it here in UK... percolated coffee?

                        @sundogplanets OK, but why would you want drip coffee when you could have espresso? I don't understand.

                              @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.

                                      TIL what drip coffee is! (Thank you Wikipedia.)

                                      Not sure what we call it here in UK... percolated coffee?

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

                                        Is this a drip coffee machine?
