    Yeah, well they're not so thrilled about you (or anyone) coming for a visit right now. The borders are closed, period for almost everyone except for returning NZ citizens. Even then, you have to go through a 12 day managed isolation at an approved facility and test clean before you can get out.

    I've been on that. Rotorua is a great city. Mt. Hood meadows alpine slide is great also but it's not nearly as cool.

    The alpine slide doesn't look nearly that fun.

    It's not, but it's still fun and open to Americans.

    I've been on the alpine slide.

    It's okay.

    NZ is the world's poster child for structural racism.

    NZ has been my #1 bucket list place ive wanted to go to. With the exorbinate money it takes just to get there it'll probably never happen. And thats a shame.

    You ever see Top Of The Lake? Great show. Filmed in New Zealand.

    Scenery in that show is amazing.
    On a side note, a coworker/friend of mine Frank Nobilo is from there. He occasionally works some golf tournaments in Oregon and would go on and own about how much he loved our state and how it reminded him of home.

    There was a gunman in Christchurch that believed that. Turns out the whole country condemned his horrific action.
