    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 there's a cafe in Newtown Wellington called "Black Coffee" and they serve good drip coffee if you need a hit

        If I remember, Flight Coffee also does a good speciality pour-over.

                Not sure what we call it here in UK... percolated coffee?

                    Why would you want drip "coffee" when you could have coffee as intended?

                    Oh, that sign is just if you run into that guy Cliff. He's pretty notorious in New Zealand.

                            @sundogplanets OK, but why would you want drip coffee when you could have espresso? I don't understand.

                                    @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 it’s undrinkable.

                                        Wait until you hit Australia.

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

                                          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)
