New Zealand is waaaaaaaay less expensive than London. What we pay 5 pounds for, they pay five dollars for and one pound is worth three dollars! Travel is more expensive though, I guess because everywhere is further away. And it's cheaper to book ahead which is diff to England.

The strip in Chch was quite good. Going from massive London to tiny Chch was a bit of a change - allof NZ doesn't have as many ppl as London - but they still know how to have fun. Rugby games - especially ones involving the Canterbury Crusaders are a must.
