New Zealand - Shopping

New Zealand has many types of shopping from the large retail chains including 'The Warehouse' to the great local markets in the Auckland area.
New Zealand has most other major brands and a few that are New Zealand born including 'Canterbury' and 'Kathmandu'
You will find less of the souvenir shops at the major scenic sights, which is refreshing if you have traveled the world.
Enjoy, and take some of New Zealand home with you.

Shops in New Zealand can open every day of the year except Christmas Day, Good Friday and Easter Sunday and up to 1pm on ANZAC Day.
A few sorts of shops are able to open everyday. These include Dairies (7/11 type store), Service Stations and Takeaways.
Shops are usually open from 9am to 5-5.30pm. Each area will have one late night a week which changes from city to city.
Dairies, service stations, emergency chemists and fast food outlets are open for longer hours.
Malls will also usually have longer hours than the normal stand alone store.
Banks are usually open from 9am to 4-4.30pm and closed on weekends. You will find a few banks open in the weekend, but not many. There are many cash machines around if you need weekend money and most shops have 'Eftpos' .

Wiremu, a New Zealander, was in Australia to watch
the upcoming Rugby World Cup and was not feeling well
So he decided to see a doctor.

"Hey doc, I dun't feel so good, ey" said Wiremu.

The doctor gave him a thorough examination and
informed Wiremu that he had long existing and advanced prostate problems and
that the only cure was testicular removal.

"No way doc" replied Wiremu "I'm gitting a sicond
opinion ey!"

The second Aussie doctor gave Wiremu the same
diagnosis and also advised him that testicular removal was the only cure.
Not surprisingly, Wiremu refused the treatment.

Wiremu was devastated, but with the Rugby World Cup
just around the corner he found an expat Kiwi doctor and decided to get one
last opinion from someone he could trust.

The Kiwi doctor examined him and said: "Wiremu Cuzzy
Bro, you huv Prostate suckness ey."

"What's the cure thin doc ?" asked Wiremu hoping for a different answer.

"Wull, Wiremu", said the Kiwi doctor "Wi're gonna
huv to cut off your balls."

"Phew, thunk god for thut!" said Wiremu, "those
Aussie bastards wanted to take my test tickets off me!"
