Here is an update on our likes and dislikes so far.

Likes:

• We don’t have kids, but I like to see really cool playground equipment kids can get hurt on.
• Drinking allowed in the streets.
• Not many lawsuits.
• Biking by the ocean.
• Kaffee Eis gelato.
• Delicious grass fed cows.
• People watching on Cuba Street.
• Having the beach five minutes away.

Dislikes:

• Parking enforcement.
• I think New Zealanders are used to having a lot of space so they walk down the sidewalk in widely spread out groups so you can’t get by. Then they just stop to have a chat and you can’t get by. It’s like being in Times Square with tourists in NYC.
• The word, “choice”. It’s not actually that we don’t like the word. It’s just funny to hear.
• The NZ symphony playing eighties music.
• Genre fashion on Cuba street, again eighties.
• Lack of insulation in housing.
• I took my shoes to get repaired. In NYC probably a $10.00 fix. Here $80.00.
