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)

As I was warned by an Aussie in NZ...

In Australia, the wildlife is trying to kill you.
In New Zealand, the wildlife is fine, but New Zealand itself is trying to kill you. (earthquake, boiling mud, poisonous gas, landslide, flood...)

@prl @rdm @sundogplanets @davidtheeviloverlord @prk Indeed, as a kiwi housemate once put it to me: In Oz it is the ecology that tries to kill you, in NZ it is the geology that tries to kill you.
