The other thing to remember about NZ is that, with the exception of some parts of Auckland, crime is almost unheard of, so there is no worry about being mugged for cash or CCs.
You have really gotta stop giving your opinion on NZ, just because you did a little two week trip doesnt mean you know the place
For a start NZ is full of crime. Did you pass through Rotorua? that's New Zealands crime capital, remember Taupo? last time I was there I had my DC headset, suitcase, wallet, cellphone and jacket stolen! End of last year when I was in Wellington I caught some prat trying to pick pocket me! My friend living in Queenstown had her house burgled one night. The list goes on Im afraid.
If you come to NZ with similar views to Tim, believing there is little crime, you and your money wont last long at all.
