Something we noticed in NZ was beer sizes. We just wanted a six pack. There was Corona or Heineken. No. When in Rome and all that biz. There was 12 packs or 30 of kiwi beer. So we settled for a six pack of Speight cans. Cans were 440ml each. I don't do cans but they were the closest we could get. We spent so much time in the freezer humming and harring it was ridiculous. So many times the man picked up 12 and said "fuck it" and I made him put it back because we had things to do the next day.
Sitting on the soccer oval in Queenstown, drinking beer and watching the planes and helicopters take off and land is a memory I'll never forget.
In my youf, going to Melbourne airport to watch the planes take off was a thing
My friends may or may not have had a choof to enhance the experience, at the time
Oh shit yeah. I may or may not have choofed with friends while doing donuts in the outskirt carparks while watching the planes. Ha and eastern suburbs don't think we have fun.
That sounds like a fucking good time lol
It was. I had a friend in the front seat telling me what to do because I'm a goody goody.
I was the same till I turned 17. Then all hell broke loose.
Wanted to go to Melbourne airport and do the same for ages tbh
There's carparks around tulla that you can watch them come in and land. It's awesome. But that's just me. I get excited about a new box of tissues being opened.
Nah Iโm the type of bloke who watches his mates flights whenever they travel. Deffo will give this a go.
That sounds like an awesome time โค๏ธ
It was.
