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
Wait until you hit Australia. -

@sundogplanets I thought New Zealand was a paradise until I heard about the coffee thing. Wow.
@symbology @sundogplanets just thank your lucky stars it's not still the 20th century.

How else do you think sharknadoes form? -
TIL what drip coffee is! (Thank you Wikipedia.)
Not sure what we call it here in UK... percolated coffee?
@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 itβs undrinkable.

Love the spider on that sign. That seems very Australian to me.

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

@grb090423 @sundogplanets Yes, it looks like it

I don't personally but yes, I think we do have them here.
Appreciate your help

Just add crocs, cassowaries, and stingers for FNQ. Oh, and gympie-gympie trees.
