Remember to accept when your hosts offer you first crack at the sheep. Its just polite.

Just don't let a scientist mess up his experiment and create the dreadful Black Sheep ๐Ÿ’€ no having a crack at those, though many have tried

So exciting! Have a great time, appreciate the natural beauty of the place because it is next level.

If you're going to Queenstown, make sure you stop off at Fergbaker and get the combined chocolate / almond croissant. Thank me later.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 8 months ago

We will be in Queenstown so this will be on my radar. Thank you.

Remember, if you encounter a slight language barrier, talk really loud and correct their pronunciation.

My husband does an excellent Maori accent and I'm scared it's gonna slip out at some point.

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He'll be accepted as one of them. Or bashed on the spot

No middles ground

Hahaha. I'll be getting there at midnight so happy hour will start early next morning at the nearest grog shop.

[โ€“] indisin@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You'll be on airport time, which makes it totally normal and judgement free to have a drink at any hour of the day - so why wait until the morning? ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago

If you insist.
