I Spy
Our friends Dave and Kari gave a us a few Kiwi nuances to look for so we've started a check list (and we've added a few of our own)! Have any others?
people walking around barefoot
people shirtless in the grocery stores and malls
a guy in a supermarket with no shoes, no shirt and Daisy Duke cut-off shorts
places that look like well-manicured lawns being driven on like roads - Twice in one day!
a complete lack of fashion sense i.e. men wearing capri pants and horrible print shirts
100 bucket hats (85 in just a week! Entire schools have been coming in with every single kid wearing one!)
