Okay everyone calm down, we just got a little busy and did not finish the post. So here are answers to any questions you may have.
1. Oppositeland = New Zealand (refer to our list below as to why)
2. The Funcargo (our rental car) has been returned to its original home and we are now travelling on the either loser cruiser (AKA city transit bus) or the Nike express (AKA our feet).
3. Our legs are sore from travelling on the Nike express all over this harbor city which is built on a gazillion hills some of which are dormant volcanoes.
4. We chose shoebox without a view as we negotiated a lower price and did not want to be able to stir the soup while sitting on the couch (you actually could, we are not exaggerating). Furthermore, there are beautiful views all over the city, and we still are able to see part of the harbor and the famous harbor bridge from our tiny balcony. 40 square meters was just not enough for 2 girls (even us), AND all the hormones.
5. Special thanks to Lori and Jenn for your for questions. People, never be afraid to ask questions, everyone benefits.
IN OPPOSITELAND...
...winter is summer, summer is winter, fall is spring, and spring is fall
...you drive on the left side of the road, including drive-thrus
...when you signal, the windshield wipers go off
...you pay connection fees even though things are already connected
...you pay for a real estate agent even though you do all the work and find the place
...you pay a fee...to pay a fee...to rent a parking spot
...bars are issued 24 hour liquor licenses and only stay open till 3am
...good wine and gourmet ice cream are cheap
...you barely pay a dime to the bank and they give you everything for free
...free cell phone minutes are 50 cents a minute
...infomercials play all DAY long
...anything less than $1500 a month is a bargain for an apartment
...you wear black dress shoes and dress pants as a nurse
And finally what you are all dieing to know...
...the toilet water may flush the other way, but it is too hard to tell due to water pressure (sorry, we're sure it does though).

Heh there girls!! You must be having a little glitch because in the What's new column yu referred us to read your oppositeland post but all it says is: Where should we begin?" It doesn't say what you two decided regarding the poll or why your legs are sore from sight seeing. I thought you hd a little car. Guess I'm really confused. Hope you are both doing well. Is it warming up there because its getting colder here and the leaves are turning yellow and right now its raining. Yuck! That means we will be bowling in the AM instead of golfing :( Oh well, what can you do. Enjoy your time there awaiting summer!!!!! Love confused and bewildered Lor
Yuhoo...Oppositeland...where ARE you?! Jenn ;)
Hi Girls, After looking at the photographs, I am really getting excited, counting down 16 more sleeps. Love Mom K.
Hi Tawnyannski ... How is the world traveller going. Enjoyed your humorous notes from the oppsite side of the world. Your Mom and Dad are here visiting us. We just got Jeremey invitation for the wedding in Nov. The plan is where everyone is going to sleep. Gramma is here visiting us also. I have been going to the bone cruncher to try to take the needle and pins out of my foot and leg resulting from my back problems. Thank u for the post card from Venice. Really enjoyed hearing from u. Good luck with you guys job hunting.
Lots of Love Auntie Donna
Hi Ladies!
I liked reading about Oppositeland. The things that stuck out to me are the good cheap wine (whopppeeeee!) and the fact that you have to pay 50 cents for a free minute. Ummm exsqueeze me?
Anyways, I hope you are enjoying yourselves. I think about you alot, particularly when I see a German Sheppard because it still makes me laugh that you saw a German German Sheppard. Haha.
Love ya,
-Val
