Which only New Zealanders would have got. With that said, watching any of the LotR movies with a Kiwi is likely a painful experience; we spend the entire time either trying to work out where a particular scene was filmed ("I'VE BEEN THERE! ...that's where we had the Potato War of '97! No orcs, though...dammit.") or we continuously squint at random people on the screen before announcing definitely: "SHORTLAND STREET." Um.

I think I found it the first time I was here; my father took me for a walk down to the surf club and he was trying to explain something to me about the ships and I was too busy taking pictures of the cart. Ha. I blame my fascination on the fact I went to the University of Otago, which has a river running through the campus which is actually about four or five metres below ground level in a concrete "valley" (I can't think of the proper word for it). Naturally it's just not a normal day unless you see a shopping trolley in it. I think if a student walks past and DOESN'T see one, they'll feel obliged to go and rectify the situation immediately. And possibly burn a couch to appease the Scarfie gods, I'm not sure. Dunedin is a strange, strange place, and not just because several of my overseas friends have been known to misspell it as "Dunedain."
