They Do Things Differently Here

Yesterday, I went out and explored Wellington more - in particular, the Cuba and Courtenay Place districts of central Wellington. This is where most of the bars and restaurants are, as well as the more bohemian boutiques and music venues. Really, we need to go there at night to get the full flavour of the area. I also found more mundane places, such as where to buy household items and hardware, which will come in handy.

In the evening we stayed in, so instead of telling you all about that in detail, here's the first in an occasional series called:

They Do Things Differently Here

Well, yes. Every country you go to does some things in a different way – not necessarily better or worse, just different. Things I’ve noticed so far:

The moon is upside down. OK, that’s logical when you think about it, but, to be honest, who does think of it?

Similarly, the sun goes from right to left.

The colours on the lids of milk are different. Instead of red=full milk, green=semi-skimmed, and blue=skimmed, we have dark blue=full milk, light blue=slim milk, green=99.9% fat-free. Does every country have a different colour coding system? My international followers can tell me in the comments.

The adverts on tv include agricultural products.

And, yiss, they do talk funny.
