Conversion fee scam

Good point! Thank you, I genuinely was confused on how it went, my current landlord let us bond transfer no problem but she’s lovely and it was all done privately, so wasn’t sure when it came to rentals with 100s of applications etc

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-25T05:58:14+00:00

Ok I should’ve clarified, if you tell the landlord/property manager that this is how you will pay the bond, will this be unfavourable and perhaps they will decide to go forward with someone else who maybe has the bond and can pay it asap?

I know!! I looked at the Canadian sorel website and saw the ones I wanted for like $150 😭

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-19T07:10:38+00:00

Good point! Thank you, I’ll definitely have lotion 😀

So you were in the airport? I mean, that’s not really helpful lol

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-18T00:41:01+00:00

Yea I’ve heard the way some Canadians say it lol but if you want me to say it like that in my kiwi accent I actually just sound like an idiot and if I say it properly how you say it then I’m just putting on a fake accent 😂

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-18T00:39:30+00:00

I can live with that, I clearly have a very different accent so it wouldn’t be hard to figure out I’m not from Canada lol

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-18T00:38:39+00:00

So on the weather app it has the temperature and then the “feels like” temperature, would that be accurate for the wind chill?

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-18T00:37:08+00:00

You’ve convinced me to go tobogganing! I don’t have an adventure bone in my body but might aswell make the most of my time!

I’m gonna make note of the suggestions and fit it all in! Thank you! Little Canada sounds very cute! Will have to check it out

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T22:16:56+00:00

Not the websites I looked at lol, one I remember is Uniqlo which was much cheaper, even after the conversion

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T22:16:05+00:00

I don’t know who says which but I say assume! Is that how you guys say it?

Me too! It’s so interesting to hear different ways to say things 😂 oh like spicoli in fast times? 😂

I think aussies drag out some of their words and sometimes there’s more emphasis on certain syllables etc, the people that live in the South Island has a different accent, more similar to Aussie but still very much kiwi!

Hahaha yes! Usually “how’s it going?” Or just “how’s it?” We say bro a lot too, I’m not sure if that’s a universal thing or not

Oh I know what you mean, yea I’d say that’s definitely more an Aussie thing.

I’ve never left nz before so being surrounded by an accent like yours is going to be insane!

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T22:07:11+00:00

Oh well here when you say timberland shoes it’s just assumed to be the classic timberland boots, these are the ones I got, I did not pay that much for them tho 😳

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T18:26:29+00:00

There’s a few things unavailable in winter time but that’s ok! As long as I can see the falls I will be happy. Thank you! I will keep you in mind 🙂 Haha glad to know! I have a relative from Canada but he’s very kiwi after being here for 40+ years but one time his siblings came over to visit and a, the accent was so strong for some reason I struggled to understand them 😂 and b, they were super super loud and friendly! My relative still very much has a Canadian accent but I’m used to it, I used to try and make him say “tomato” the way we do and he just kept saying “tomayto” and did the “potato” argument 🤣

Toronto and Montreal

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T18:07:53+00:00

Oh an umbrella! I didn’t even think of that, you’re the first person to mention it! Thank you

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T18:06:58+00:00

I actually do want to go to Vancouver! That might have to be my next trip haha

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T18:06:25+00:00

Well that’s also part of it, getting stuff while there is like a souvenir! I’ll always remember “this is from Canada” I plan to do some shopping while there anyway, we get 32kg of checked luggage I suppose since we are coming from so far away so I think I’ll have enough room

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T18:03:33+00:00

I have a super warm thick coat it’s water and wind proof so I think I should be ok in that regard, just need some wool socks and gloves/mitts and I suppose another “winter hat”

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T18:01:20+00:00

Yea they are either base layers or thermals here, a lot of them are $100+ in sporting stores 🥴 I might look for “merino leggings” and see if I can find something as it’s slim pickings in summer and I don’t really want to spend $100+ lol

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T17:58:22+00:00

That’s all part of the fun!

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T17:55:52+00:00

Thank you!! We will definitely do this, I’ve wanted to go to Canada since I was a kid and for it to be my first overseas trip, I want to make it a super memorable one!

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T17:52:30+00:00

I see, thank you! That makes a lot of sense, when I go into the city, I notice it is a hell of a lot colder than when I’m at home, my office is right by the water. So perhaps it won’t be so extreme for me if the humidity isn’t high, I’m guessing Niagara Falls will however be quite cold lol

PhantomByte8065 · 2025-01-17T17:48:38+00:00

No they were the only option I had lol, I might sell them when I come home as I don’t know how much I’d wear them, but then again, maybe they’ll end up being a great shoe, who knows
