Because all the cool kids fall back on lists when they can't be bothered with proper posts....


Things about New Zealand:



  • The people here are very literal. Advertising in Aussieland seems subtle compared to here, especially the anti-drink driving type things- like there's a billboard here in New Plymouth that says "Don't buy drink for under 18s." No fuss with catchy slogans, just the message. Simpler that way, I guess.

  • The supermarket here is super high tech- instead of little paper labels for prices on the shelves, they have digital ones- like the display on a clock. It's hella cool!



  • Okay, so I can't think of anything else. Here's something I prepared earlier.
UV light is my friend. I am the stripeyness.

You put the POO... in the DOG. See? In its mouth. Just like a real dog! Much better than those boring bins we have back in Oz.

So I note that it's not only the signs and whatnot that are very literal... so are the festival names. :P

And whilst most of those pictures qualify under 'cool' in some category or other due to being shiny and lighteyish... seriously, you need that many pics of your feet / shoes? *grin*

"You put the POO... in the DOG. See? In its mouth. Just like a real dog!"
