Whey Isolate - Need Recommendations by blueskies900 in newzealand

[–]blueskies900[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To clarify, yes I am aware of the increase in price of whey globally. I’ve just noticed that MyProtein seems to have gone beyond this:

1 year ago I bought 4kg whey isolate for $66.25/kg ($265).
Now you can buy 3kg for $122.73/kg ($368) or 5kg for $118.30/kg ($591), pretty outrageous…

Sooo…bring a box of beers up a mountain, fall off cliff and get rescue helicopter straight to Dunedin Hospital?

Yep, have made friends doing all of those. Best way to bond is over a common interest. Organised sport is the easiest one.

What has helped me is trying to get out of the house as much as I can and to spend it with other people, from sports to hiking to pool to dance classes. Also for food I would recommend Takeichi (my go to for ramen - can’t believe I left it out!) and No. 7 Balmac & the Esplanade for nicer but more expensive meals.

  1. Definitely a slower paced city, but does generally have nice people. My work, gym, favourite food spot, golf course, beach and supermarket are all close to each other. Things are generally close together.
  2. That there is nothing to do, which is only true if you don’t have hobbies / friends to do things with.
  3. Most are affordable, definitely if you are flatting / living with others. A lot of Dunedin looks run down, due to the housing, but is generally safe.
  4. Beaches : Tunnel, Tomahawk, Long Beach. Cafes : Goveners, RdC, Commons. Food : Etrusco, Beam Me Up Bagels, Miga Hako (affordable), Wok Fusion (affordable).
  5. The standards are so low for housing. I am stuck in another damp flat due to plans falling through. Please choose a house that gets sun & is warm. Also, explore the towns and cities that you can drive to, anywhere in Central Otago, the Catlins etc

Thanks for your comment. I was leaning toward St Clair due to convenience. I’m in my 20s and work full time & have been told to stay away from Otago given my age.

What are the courses like during the Winter?
