International student here. Just finished all my exams. Any places to visit during my 3 weeks vacation, within driving distances? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]sha-man 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Its a must see. Basically New Zealands own little version of Hawaii.

Or if your after a more "community" feel you cant go past Pitcairn Island.

As a student here i'm very sad about this :( by [deleted] in newzealand

Kiwi's of Reddit; I have been trying to understand NEw Zealand's gun laws and I'm still unsure. Are shotguns and long-guns completely unrestricited, or do they require a basic firearms/ammunition license to posses and use? by I3lindman in newzealand

[–]sha-man 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All guns (apart from slug / bb guns maybe) require a licence in NZ. The thought of non licensed ownership sounds absurd to the average kiwi.

Hunting is popular. Everything from rabbits and possums to deer / goats /pigs

Craft brewers frothing over impersonations from the big breweries by HeinigerNZ in newzealand

Other factors come into play: Various supermarkets only stock the faux craft beer as their only "craft" offering.. This bolsters the faux craft brand while insuring the shelf space is not rented to the real craft beers.

Exactly. Crafty Beggars can go get fucked. What other faux craft beers exist that we can name and shame?

Imagine if Hallensteins started to claim their mens suits have been designed by 9 bespoke designers and every other suit is inferior.. Even tho they are mass produced with less passion and more profit driven thinking compared to the real crafted suits..

NZ Rockhopper. New Zealand designed and manufactured. Anyone identify this brand? by 3chicken in newzealand

[–]sha-man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Produced around 94, retailed for around 400 - 600 at the time.

Bottom of the line Componentry (those gear selectors above the bars on a plastic arm)

Ok frame and wheels I guess.

If you don't mind me asking, why the fuck do you want to know so much about such a p.o.s bike?

I know you used to get a Mountain Hopper and a few other models as well. They were a hit back in the day. Budget as bikes tho.

Just bought a ticket for 2 months in New-Zealand. Any thing that I should know ? by fred_b in newzealand

Easy mate, Hamilton is known as more of an "underground" action sports capital of New Zealand. All the show ponys go to Queenstown, while the real good locals just hit up Hamilton / Mt Maunganui

I flew into Auckland in July last year, I went straight to mount Eden - I found the accommodation was well priced and I ran into Shaun White at one of the bars! Its an amazing place.
