So, my New Zealand vacation is quickly coming to a close. We're flying out of Auckland on Sunday and then it's back to the heat and humidity of Singapore. Here's a list of my thoughts, opinions and observations of New Zealand.
1. The roads are curvy. At least the seaside roads. Either be ready to drive carefully and slowly, sleep the whole way through, or take some anti-motion sickness medicines.
2. It really is the adventure capitol. I swear, any crazy extreme activity you could ever think of is available here. Bungy, bungy swing, giant hamster ball things, skydiving, diving, snorkeling...
3. New Zealand is very eco-conscious. It's really nice to find a place that is actively aware of how much they are using every day. It's also pretty easy to find recycling bins and stuff.
4. New Zealand is Middle-earth. There's areas that look just like the Shire. Then there's the Misty Mountains. Oh, and then there's the woods that look like Lothlórien. And Isengard.
5. People here seem to have a nice work-life balance. It's not like America where all people do is work. People have hobbies and passions that they actively pursue outside of work.
6. People in New Zealand are fit, or at the very least they are active. There are middle-aged mountain bikers!
7. New Zealand is chilly. Bring a jacket if you've come from steamy Singapore, because you'll freeze the whole trip.
8. New Zealand has a lot of sheep. And cattle.
9. New Zealand is amazing! I think everyone should come visit here ^.^
