Holly and Janna’s Travel Tips Continued... Yes, we ate the sausage.

81. Birds in New Zealand hop and walk a lot, probably because it’s too hot to fly.
82. Don’t be surprised if you see turkeys running along the side of the road. If you can catch one, it’s dinner.
83. When names are hard to pronounce or do not seem appropriate for the person, give them a new one.
84. Turns out, Lady’s name really is Lady.
85. When Schnitzel is driving the bus you may end up with no kids on the bus that day.
86. Who needs Dr. Phil for love/life advice when you’ve got Schnitz. That guy’s deep.
87. Make sure you understand the seasons in the country you’re in before you ask stupid questions... “You have a pumpkin festival in April?!” -Janna, insert hysterical laughing from students...
88. In any situation, Charlie Sheen will be brought up... “So, what does everyone think of Charlie Sheen?... Yeah, I said it.” - student
89. Celine Dion and Shania Twain seem to be New Zealand icons as the Kiwi’s know more about them then the Canadians. Apparently Shania Twain has a house here.
90. Plan to listen to reggae music the entire time you’re in New Zealand, unless it’s Beauty and the Beast by Celine Dion.
91. When a student asks if your camera is flat, they are not talking about the physical appearance of the camera.
92. When you are rocking out in the park waiting for the rest of the class to show up, make sure you’re in the right park.
93. When Kiwi’s hear about a tsunami warning, they call each other to tell them “Surf’s up!”
94. Touch is one of the many different types of Rugby. Trying to keep all the different kinds straight will drive you crazy. “Does the World Cup go with the... All Blacks?”
95. In New Zealand, Hokey Pokey isn’t just a dance.
96. Canada is not apart of the USA or England.
97. Make sure you know who the current prime minister (Stephan Harper) and governor general (David Lloyd Johnston) are so you can clarify that Obama is indeed not our president.
98. Disregard tip number 84, Lady’s name may not be Lady, we’re not sure...
99. When being polite, you may need to eat sausage made by the garbage man.
100. Check that bail money is still in shoe because you don’t wear them in New Zealand, not even hiking.
