Hee hee, love 'em
Also - Be The Difference in Wellington
- You can wake up during an earthquake and think that it's just the wind that's shaking your house
- You can say "Wellington is full of ferries" and not be considered homophobic
- You can recognise half the city's population when walking down the street
- You can afford a $1000 suit but still flat in a house that requires 3 sets of clothing and two dehumidifiers to stay warm
- You see someone travelling 100kph on the motorway and you complain how fast people travel these days
- You walk from the Railway Station to Willis Street without ever checking for traffic
- "Just turn left at the first StarMart, walk down the street till you get to the third StarMart, turn right, go 3 StarMarts up and you're there"
- Seeing the Brooklyn Wind Turbine not turning is a newsworthy event
- It takes you 20 minutes to drive around the block in peak traffic due to the 'one way system'
- Boarding a Stagecoach bus is a hazardous activity
- You take a bodyguard down Courtenay Place in case you bump into a drunk politician
- The centre line is negotiable, especially on the Brooklyn & Hataitai hills where parked cars can take up 80% of the road
- You get altitude sickness going from your car to your front door
- You have to leave the city to do your shopping
- Any wind that doesn't threaten to take your roof off is just a 'bit of a breeze'
- You can detect 27 different shades of black suit
- When an earthquake hits, instead of hiding under your desk, you hold a bet with your workmates on the force, focus and epicentre
- When giving directions to tourists, you point up
- You go out for your $5 coffee with friends and complain how expensive Auckland is
