You know you are in NZ when you get in invited to someone's house for a 'pot luck' dinner and are given a list of things to bring, you spend hours sourcing and preparing said meal items and then find that the host has provided two bags of budget lettuce.

You are irrationally excited that your new rental has double glazing.
You moan about traffic when you have to wait for more than 3 cars at an intersection.
It's cloudy all day and you feel like the world has ended because you're so used to blue, blue, blue skies.
You don't get up for anything smaller than a 4.5

That people will use a chainsaw to steal windows which are NOT double glazed.
