Are you sure your backpack is that big?. The max is 115 cm which is almost the size of a small to medium luggage. If it is really that big, just put fewer things in it, and squeeze it down.

That's usually when they're speaking their native tongue way too loudly. When foreigners speak too loudly, it's very irritating. Applies to any country.

And if you are eligible to take out loan, take out the maximum and pay back as slowly as possible. Put the rest in the bank and earn interest. Though National will change things when they come in later this year.

Something I find very effective and cheap for lips is Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. Maybe a little messy.

For skin, use soap that has 50% moisturizer. Name of that particular brand escapes me at the moment, but its everywhere in supermarkets.

>> What I'm saying is that they're far more likely to express their opinions.

A lot has to do with their culture (or Western culture in general) rather than education. In Asian cultures we show our respects, and address people older than us as Uncle or Auntie. In NZ, people are referred to by name, regardless of age. Therefore in class or anywhere else where everyone is "equal", one is more likely to freely express opinions.

Do you drink beer? If not, you are not going to miss much.

you need more fat in the system then you can stand the cold. eat more butter and cream...

yup, buy clothing in malaysia, better, cheaper...

The cheapest way would be cash as you don't pay fees, but that's not practical except for small amounts and you are carrying it yourself, or you have someone to carry for you.

The best way is to use TT or IMT (International money transfer) as some banks call it. You can get a better exchange rate if over a certain amount, so ask at your bank.

Don't send now unless you really have to. The Kiwi dollar exchange rate is very low right now, so keep it in the bank to earn the highest interest rate in the world. Keep an eye on the exchange rate, and send when it is better. But don't wait too long because Bollard may cut interest rates again, which will then affect the exchange rate.
