New Zealand Slang and Pics

This blog post is not of any new adventures but a collection of terms that I have come across  so far  in New Zealand.  I am also including some more pictures that didn't make the original cut for the blog, but are still really good!  This weekend is labor day weekend so I get a three day weekend and am hoping to find some sort of adventure.  Hope you all have a great end of the week and even better weekend!   Cheers
