- Sensible drinking age. Like most of the world that isn't America, they figure at 18 if you're deemed an adult, you should be old enough to drink. And I firmly agree. Mostly because I couldn't drink otherwise and living this close to downtown, the bars and clubs are a major source of my entertainment.
- Censorship isn't as bad. For example, there's a hilarious billboard that's up on the motorway overpass on Khyber Pass Rd that says "I predict this billboard will get a shitload of complaints." I was cracking up laughing, cuz that'd never happen in the US. I also heard uncensored metal on the radio at like 8:30 one night. It made me happy as well.
- Everyone's more laid back. It's true.
- They have cooler fruit. Like feijoa and passionfruit. And it's delicious.
- They have a much cooler accent.
- Everything is multicultural. There are so many Maoris, Islanders and Asians running around everywhere it's excellent.
- Every little town has everything it needs. At least around here, from what I've seen.
- Everyone here laughs about military service because they know fighting in Iraq is pointless.
- Everyone has house parties. All the time. There's yet to be a weekend where I haven't been able to find something to do.
- I'm here.
