tid bits 2

Fun Facts:

  • There is an alarming amount of roadkill in NZ 
  • This leads to an abnormal amount of giant hawks in the road 
  • Ace has consumed 3 birds thus far, luckily none of which were hawks
  •  Fish and Chips (or as locals say, "fush and chups") is the national food of NZ 
  • Ace's damp musk is a result of hundreds of leaks (not a good combination with the amount of rain we are dealing with) 
  • They farm deer here- very weird
  • kiwi can't fly because they had no predators for thousands of years, thus never needed to fly
  • kyle is afraid of birds
  • they do not have or eat turkey here
  • we have seen two Raider hats- Raider Nation is alive and well
  • McDonald's is called "Macca's"
  • Gas here is officially $8 a gallon (makes $5 look pretty damn good!)
  • Kyle bought a Ukulele...


 Lessons Learned:

  • after 6 days without a shower, nobody is a happy camper
  • Internet is precious
  • Going right on red does not translate to going left on red when driving on the other side. 
  • Always park on a flat area if you sleep in your car
  • sandflies suck
