    Observations from a Canadian visiting New Zealand:

    -Making NZers say "Saskatchewan" is kind of hilarious
    -Roundabouts work really really well when everyone is used to them
    -Drip coffee apparently does not exist here (espresso-based coffee drinks only. Even at the one Dunkin Donuts I saw in a hideous mall I had to go inside in Auckland).
    -NZ signs do not play around (see example below)

    @sundogplanets “I know the difference between margarine and butter,
    I can say Saskatchewan without starting to stutter…”

      @sundogplanets

      Why would you want drip "coffee" when you could have coffee as intended?

      Oh, that sign is just if you run into that guy Cliff. He's pretty notorious in New Zealand.

              @sundogplanets OK, but why would you want drip coffee when you could have espresso? I don't understand.

                @sundogplanets I thought New Zealand was a paradise until I heard about the coffee thing. Wow.

                      TIL what drip coffee is! (Thank you Wikipedia.)

                      Not sure what we call it here in UK... percolated coffee?

                      @grb090423 @sundogplanets Not exactly; with drip coffee the hot water passes through the coffee grounds once, while with percolated coffee, the coffee is continually boiled and passed through the coffee grounds until it’s undrinkable.

                                        -Making NZers say "Saskatchewan" is kind of hilarious
                                        -Roundabouts work really really well when everyone is used to them
                                        -Drip coffee apparently does not exist here (espresso-based coffee drinks only. Even at the one Dunkin Donuts I saw in a hideous mall I had to go inside in Auckland).
                                        -NZ signs do not play around (see example below)

                                        @sundogplanets Wow, this could be a great advertisement for moving to NZ. No drip coffee and competent drivers? Sign me the hell up.

                                          @grb090423 @sundogplanets I guess a pour over would be close? Do you have those in the UK?

                                          I don't personally but yes, I think we do have them here.

                                          Appreciate your help 👍
