I spent two weeks in NZ, and felt like kissing the ground once I touched back in Melbourne. However, there was only carpet so it would've looked a little silly.
NZ= 1970's Australia
I'm at uni as well, and will hopefully be doing a semester at FIU in Miami. Tell your mate before it's too late, to chose another university, far far away from NZ
No offence to Kiwis, but the place is so damn boring, especially Auckland.
