I’ve made some observations of Auckland:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • It’s way nicer than I envisioned it would be.<\/li>\n
  • From what I’ve seen and heard, vintage cycles are slim to none.<\/li>\n
  • There is no trash on the streets of NZ. Cleanest place I’ve ever seen.<\/li>\n
  • People are in no hurry… everyone drives way under the speed limit.<\/li>\n
  • Everyone is super nice. Friendliest strangers I’ve ever met.<\/li>\n
  • You can see the ocean \/ bay from almost anywhere in Auckland.<\/li>\n
  • A million hills here. Like pittsburgh but worse.<\/li>\n
  • One of the biggest o-zone holes the Earth has is over NZ and Australia, so you get severely sunburnt after 30 mins. if you’re not used to it.<\/li>\n
  • Police don’t carry guns.<\/li>\n
  • There’s no crime here.<\/li>\n
  • There are also no black or mexican people here.<\/li>\n
  • Their version of Walmart is called “The Warehouse”.<\/li>\n
  • Their version of Pep Boys is called “RepCo”.<\/li>\n
  • People walk around the city barefoot.<\/li>\n
  • It doesn’t get dark until 9:30pm.<\/li>\n
  • From what people say, It’s always 65\u02da and sunny.<\/li>\n
  • The water looks like Miami water. Bright Teal color. Palm trees everywhere too.<\/li>\n
  • The Sky Tower is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. It’s about the height of the Comcast building in Philly. We live about 10 min. walk from it.<\/li>\n
  • I’ve gotten lost on the cycle a few times already. It’s like a maze here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
