I just got an abusive email about how I'm whinging about things that I miss so to make a point (I love making points!) this is to rectify the situation.
Beer. There is a plethora of beer to choose from and all of it is good. Especially the trivia questions inside the Tui and also the fact that the beer is twist off so you don't have to look for a bottle opener every five minutes.
The vegetation here is really interesting and it's cool, because there are these tropical trees in amongst the evergreens and (I think this is what they're called) deciduous trees.
I like the fact that it's normal to play pool here and there are pool tables everywhere. It's weird because in England the pubs have maybe one pool table hidden away if at all and here they're everywhere and it's normal to play pool.
The meat. The meat is cheap and it's good and it's plentiful. I heart all the meaty goodness, even if it is probably the cause of my almost permanent heartburn.
Tim Tams are amazing. Especially a Tim Tam slam. I know it's not strictly speaking NZ, but it's Aussie and that's practically the same thing.
It's cool to have beaches nearby and the contrast between beachy goodness and then all the parks including wonderful Auckland Domain and actually One Tree Hill Domain.
The fish and chips here are divine and are about a million times better than fish and chips.
