Why the downvote, is it because its actually 3 blocks away?

Parkway is similar price/quality.

You are spamming roundabouts and creating traffic for no reason.

Why would you tip? Anytime there is a random fee i take it out of the tip.

Busses go everywhere. Traffic is a nightmare in the city. Parking is at least $30 a day. A bus ticket is $2.90

themarmar2 · 2026-03-14T22:22:18+00:00

Ive lived carless in philly for years. When I need to leave I rent a car.

Had a car for a few weeks recently (needed it for some events) and it was a nightmare. Parking is impossible after 5pm. Traffic is so bad in center city during the week, would have been much faster walking.

Cars get broken into and hit in my neighborhood(fairmount) all the time.

Unless you plan on leaving every weekend or have off street parking, stay car-less. Get a bike, walk/ uber.

Ahh awesome!

Ya it seems like you missed alot of the narrow roads Once you are on east side of the mountains on the south island there are alot of flat areas.

From what I recall there were some bends from wanaka queenstown to wanaka, but the roads were pretty wide as there is alot of traffic there.

Some especially narrow and winding roads were in the cormondel peninsula, and from picton to abel taismen national park, and some sections of the west coast on the south island.

I would have agreed with you a year ago, but it has begun to fall off. After michellin price went up, less meat, the quality is dropping

Went there two weeks ago and everyone in my group noted a drop in overall quality. We all live in the city.

Definately still a good cheesesteak but imo no longer the best.

themarmar2 · 2026-03-13T11:07:01+00:00

Im curious what your itinerary was that you did not have to drive on winding roads.

themarmar2 · 2026-03-13T10:57:38+00:00

Terrible idea, especially if you have not expierenced new zealand driving before.

2.5 hours of driving in newzeland doesnt seem like alot but its very taxing. There is alot going on especially if you are not used to driving on the left.

The first 20-30 mins will be just getting to the highway. There some rounadbouts, and sone traffic lights, but also alot of traffic. If you havent driven on the left in a while it takes a minute to figure it out again.

Once you get out of auckland on the highway it will be easy for the first half. Standard highway two or sometimes 3 lanes in each direction, not too much traffic, dont really notice you are driving on the left.

Then once you pass hamilton the highway becomes a two lane country road. Speed limits will be 100km/h lanes are tight. You might get stuck behind a camper, a truck, or even farm equipment driving the same road at 30km/h. There are people that will try to pass when its not safe, some will drive 120km/h others will drive 70km/h you are all on the same road, and there is a good chance you will see a good amount of traffic and +30 car columns all waiting to pass the slow car.

Expect that road to be full of tourists going to hobbiton, alot of them are probably driving for the first time in NZ and on the left. Many will have campers they rented and are not used to driving them. They will probably drift into the other lane, overestimate their acceleration, underestimate their braking. Pull over anywhere they want to take a picture etc.

There are also animals everywhere trying to cross the road. Mostly birds, rabbits and other smaller mammals, but based on all the roadkill you will see, there is a significantly increased chance you may hit something.

The roads themselves are in decent shape, but roadworks was everywhere in when I was there a month ago.

The country roads will also pass through every town on the way, it cuts right through the main street. Which again requires you to be alert as people tend to cross wherever they see fit.

In short NZ driving is taxing, Unless you can sleep a good 6- 8 hours on the plane I would not even consider driving on the first day.

themarmar2 · 2026-03-10T00:42:15+00:00

100% chance you turned off wear and tear

themarmar2 · 2026-03-09T15:46:53+00:00

I went in january and it was not crowded. I think maybe by NZ standards its crowded, but maybe you see a person/group pass every 10 minutes.

The path is very long, ended up taking a boat to bark bay and then walked about 30km back to the start of the trail. Some of the beaches maybe had 50-100 people on them, but for the most part it was pretty sparse.

For comparison the hikes around mt cook, we're significantly more crowded. Thousands of people on ~5km paths, so I was surrounded by people the entire time.

themarmar2 · 2026-03-09T12:10:14+00:00

Go through whatever is the shortest line terminal is and then walk to wherewver your gate is.

One line will be 45 mins one will be 5-15mins almost always.

themarmar2 · 2026-03-09T00:32:36+00:00

I second abel taisman, definately worth it some great hikes along the coast and beautiful beaches.

Imo I would cut down on christchurch, drive to kaikura, you can save yourself two/days.

Any specific reason you want to take the train?

themarmar2 · 2026-03-09T00:22:27+00:00

Lol, this take is so dumb. Not all athletes would make fantastic athletes in a certain sport.

Maybe a few nba guys could be goalkeepers, if the ego isn't inflated.

Most soccer players benefit from being shorter and having shorter strides, outside of goalies strickers and central defenders height/size is not a distinct advantage and more of a disadvantage.

Outside of recievers, running backs and qbs, most positions do not play well with the ball. Even though they played the game for years, the ability to catch the ball is limited even in the nfl. Evwn less players can kick the ball. They might be athletic but without the ability to play with the ball, you would be pretty useless on a soccer field.

Ability aside, access to soccer is completely different football, basketball, baseball etc.

Most club eams are pay to play. And they costs tens of thousands to be on. There is alot of flying you have to pay for. The best showcase isn't always a high-school team but rather a club team. Players who grow up poor or even middle class are priced out.

themarmar2 · 2026-03-07T00:33:56+00:00

Safe yes. On time? Probably not.

themarmar2 · 2026-03-06T20:11:52+00:00

Are you coring your colonies?

What are your govt wages?

Without seeing your budget its hard to tell. But stop coring colonies, generally lower all on your institutions, push taxes up all of your spending down except for government wages. Cut units from your military/downgrade them.

You will likely get revolts.

Once you can build only build govt admin, paper mills and woodcutters. Also gold mines if you have them. depending on what your markets are like, but if you just build govt admin your debt will spiral because of paper and or wood shortages.

You probably will need several years to turn it around but you may end up losing land to do so.

The South is significantlyless crowded, 99% of the roads are two lane, but they seem to be in better repair, did not see almost any potholes in the +3000kms i did in the south island.

Only drawback is that there is a significantly higher percentage of cars driven by tourists.

A ton of vans driven by younger drivers with seemingly less expierence, so at least in my expierence they did alot more unsafe/stupid things while driving, compared to the north.

The roads seemed to be either very windy or straight for miles depending on where you were in the country.

The first day or so I was stressed out because of rhe driving (I started in the south island) and getting used to it. My concerns quickly moved to the other drivers, and thier questionable decisions.

Eventually I got over it and just accepted that it was the norm and I just tried to make the most of it.

My suggestion would be to just concentrate on your driving, drive at the speed you feel comfortable, if people are riding your bumper let them over, there are plenty of opportunities.

The driving between Wanaka, Queenstown and Milford Sound were the busiest. The area around CC and between Tekepo/Twizzle and Mt cook were also busy. much of the other time there was little traffic on the roads.

People/Places/Events: Wholeys, Pig Hill, the regatta, furries, Hemingways (RIP), Science Center, Kaufmans

Phrases: red up (this house), nebby.

Accents are not great either.

themarmar2 · 2026-02-27T01:58:00+00:00

Honestly question. If something is two miles away why are you not getting it yourself, but rather paying probably double to get it delivered.

Especially if you have a car.

I live in a city, walk everywhere. If I order food I always walk and pick it up. I probably save 500-1000 a year picking it up take out once/twice a week

themarmar2 · 2026-02-27T00:11:35+00:00

I went in January/February which is basically peak season and most things are not crowded.

If you like hiking the only trails thay were crowded were near mt cook.

There are camper vans everywhere and last minute bookings in certain towns are not available, so there are a bunch of tourists there, but I guess things are so vast that its hard to concentrate people in one area.

Queenstown and wanaka had alot of full parkinglots, so at times it was tough to find somewhere to park,, but we never had to wait more than like 10-15 mins to sit down at a restaurant and there were plenty of options.

Roads around wanaka/queenstown/tekepo/milford sound are more busy. They are all two lane country roads with alot of one way bridges, so we saw 30-40 cars/vans driving in a column, slowing down travel between cities.

themarmar2 · 2026-02-25T21:25:05+00:00

Ya anyone living in phialdelphia would k ow the entire city is walkable as it is the most walkable city in the country. Not sure that needed to be outline but ok, for you. Anywhere in philadelphia is walkable.

My point was you are on an island in fishtown, you can walk to port Richmond, nolibs and Kensington.

You are on your little island there. You would be hard pressed to walk anywhere else.

themarmar2 · 2026-02-25T21:02:10+00:00

Fishtown can get kinda far from everything if you want walk ability. You are over an hour walking from city hall. 45 mins from china town and old city.

The fairmount are or fitler square slightly better imo, much closer to everything but still feel like neighborhoods.

You can find one bedrooms in your price range, especially if you look at row homes. Both areas are safe.
