hayleyearth Posted June 29, 2017 Share Something amazing happened this week....I rode to work and back (if I make it back safe this afternoon) everyday this week That is 150km of commute this week thus far. Rule #5 had to be applied a few mornings, but now that I know I am capable of arranging day activities/to do's around this I think I will do it more often. I do find myself to be more hungry too though. RossW, davetapson, CatzSpace "frail" and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted July 4, 2017 Share The view from my new office. I'm going to have to get used to walking a lot more in this city. Between walking to work, home to fetch running gear, a 5km run along Quay Street (during my lunch break), walking to meetings then walking back home I did 17km.

niterider Posted July 4, 2017 Share That cannot be NZ. People are walking OUTSIDE of the lines Many intersections in the city allow the Barnes Dance, allowing pedestrians to cross in any direction they choose, since traffic is stopped in all directions. intern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have a countdown timer to when the vehicle flow resumes. It tests some people's sprinting ability, haha! niterider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted July 4, 2017 Share They're great for pedestrians... terrible for motorists. The other day I had to drive just 2km in the city. It took me 20min. and not because there are too many cars, but more because the traffic lights take forever to turn green for cars, and it doesn't last very long.

I appreciate the honest opinions many of you have shared.At last, I have my visitors visa approved and will be coming to Auckland at the end of July on a job finding mission - C# Developer.I am extremely excited - hopefully, I will join the many happy ex-South Africans in New Zealand before the end of the year. davetapson, Wayne Potgieter and intern 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
