Heh...what got me most about New Zealand was the apparent lack of any
traffic rules whatsoever. I got in a honking match with a bus on a
mountain road once and had to back all the way down the mountain with
the bus inching forward like it was going to nudge me right off a cliff
if I didn't hurry up. I also noticed that there were no air traffic
controllers when I was there and the pilots would just improvise
landings. Landing in Wellington once we made three approaches before
smacking the ground nice and hard on the third. I commented on it to
the pilot as I was leaving the plane and he said, "Well, you knew we'd
landed!" I found him in the hotel bar later that night and he was
laughing about it again. I'm glad somebody enjoyed the flight. ;-)
