Well, I'm in NZ. Had a couple nights in Auckland, then got a domestic flight down here to Christchurch.

What did you expect? It's the 'off-season' and NZ is not known as a party place - it's somewhere where life goes a bit slower, where you can chill and enjoy the scenery. Why do you think they invented bungey jumping?
