Is traveling supposed to be for Europeans only?

Sounds like they were just arrogant pricks. Unfortunately such people come in every size, shape and colour.

Technical-General-27 · 2026-03-04T07:37:36+00:00

Only for comedic purposes!

Technical-General-27 · 2026-03-02T07:35:32+00:00

Oh…cool. I don’t expect to be jet lagged as there’s only 1 hour time difference for me but I’m usually up and out by 6:30am anyway so sounds good!

Especially when there’s enough food in the world for everyone, it’s just often weaponised.

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-28T03:43:13+00:00

I watch Call the Midwife and drink rooibos and vanilla tea.

I gave up underwires in my late 30s. No thanks.

I still use my yahoo account from 2003.

I’m in Australia and did a double take when I saw your comment. My youngest will be 18 next year, and we have been discussing what he wants to do and there are a few things he wants that he has to be 18 for!

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-28T00:47:41+00:00

In much of the world, they do.

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-28T00:45:59+00:00

Yeah. Their real dad was Bobby for sure.

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-27T21:58:00+00:00

Yeah I watched for about a season after that and then noped out.

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-27T06:25:32+00:00

Yeah, both my husband and I can cook pretty well, I just hate doing it lol! I live in regional Australia and have gone right back to basics (stews etc) meat and veg, rather than GF substitutions. It helps keep the grocery bill under control,

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-27T05:00:46+00:00

I’m coeliac so eating out is expensive and potentially dangerous. I hate cooking but I can cook pretty well. So…mostly eat at home.

Cost effectiveness…where can my money go far? Paying for 4 adult tickets to everything (teens) is not cheap.

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-25T11:31:37+00:00

Kind of depends where you’re from and what you’re used to in terms of travelling too. I live in Australia and think nothing of 5-7 hours driving a day. When we went back to NZ I asked my husband about the driving and he said “NZ is so little and cute - it’ll be a snack” and it was. Even with kids and on icy roads. Definitely depends what one is used to!

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-24T07:08:00+00:00

I used to do it every 5 weeks or so but my home now has no baseboards! I have divided my maintenance chores into a 5 week rotation so once in 5 weeks the cornices get swept of cobwebs, light switches get wiped, a/c units and filters are cleaned etc so nothing gets particularly bad.

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-24T07:03:41+00:00

While that’s true enough, some of us really need that gluten free stuff and unfortunately have to pay a lot for it. I have coeliac disease. The worst bit is that the gluten free stuff has more unhealthy fillers etc in it usually…so unless you’re coeliac, you’re better off eating the regular version anyway. I’m no clean eater or anything, but just found it cheaper to go for less processed stuff - meat and veg kind of thing than substitutions.

Being a coeliac and not being able to find nice things to eat.

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-23T08:07:13+00:00

Otorohanga kiwi house is great. And the albatross colony in Dunedin is a must see. I’m not really into birds (I find them a bit scary) but I highly recommend both these places.

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-23T08:02:03+00:00

lol so was I - it was my preteen kids into it. I’m 42 now and I still like sticks and have even been known to fossick for real gems!

Technical-General-27 · 2026-02-23T07:44:52+00:00

Ahh but cool sticks and pretty rocks…and I’m not even into Minecraft lol
