So I haven't ever really posted anything about the quirks of the place. Its quite a different place in a lot of special little ways. I have travelled around a good chunk of the world and New Zealand has lots of little things that are quite unique to them. First off, mullets are totally in style in New Zealand. And I'm not talking a wee little hint of a mullet, I'm talking full on 10-80 kentucky waterfall style mullets. There are more damn mullets here. The funny thing is that its a fashion statement. There are business men with full blown mullets. Apparently its somewhat of a joke and tons of people are just playing a joke on the mullet. However, the jokes on them, they are the ones wearing a mullet! Maybe they didn't get the memo that mullets are a government accepted ID for white trash! Another gem left over from the eighties that the kiwi have fully embraced is the car/truck. Such beauties as the El Camino and the Ford Falcon are everywhere. I even saw a brand new double cab car/truck today. They never stopped making car/trucks over here. You can get them in any year and tons of brand new ones are on the road. There is an Australian company called Holden that puts out tons of them every year. Its really quite funny seeing a well to do business man driving to work in a brand new El Camino sporting a huge mullet.
Another fashion trend that needs to die is men wearing super short two tone shorts. I mean really, I cant even think of anything funny to say about that, its just sad. No body wants to see your upper thighs! Driving here is kind of fun too. You can make a U-turn anywhere. GOing the wrong way? don't wait for an intersection; just turn around! There are so many other things that are on the same par of ridiculousness as the above, but I don't feel like typing anymore. Hope everyone is well!
