NZ Update

This is the Palmerston North airport where I landed after flying down from Auckland. Transportation around this country is interesting. The USA is obviously based on cars for personal travel and Europe does well with trains. New Zealand actually seems to use planes to go from one city to another predominantly.

Here is the sign outside my hospital. No smoking has reached here too, sort of. Note that there is no smoking in the hospital or on the grounds.

Here you can see the standard group of patients who have wheeled out together for a smoke. Hmmmm. Would seem to be "on the grounds" to me.

We do have these giant things around us on all the hills. I will get up closer later and see if they are dangerous.

I am really getting into watching rugby, but their version of women's basketball, called Netball, is undoubtedly the strangest game I have ever seen. But it's BIG down under. Also, for completeness, read my comment to my last post.
