Packing List: If you're a short guy like me...

    • Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If you're a short guy like me, remember to bring a spare pair of trousers. Why? Well, all trousers come in "regular" length only, that's 83-85cm or 34in (they use cm here which can be quite confusing) and I am 32in person. I went to 20 or so stores the other day, but found only one-length trousers, in all sizes (widths) of course, but all too long for me. The only place I could get different length trousers are at Just Jeans or Levi's, but then they're rather expensive. I wonder how short men survive here...?

     Nice photos & tips! August is often our coldest month so not surprising to see a bit of snow!    		PorkyNZ Sat Jul 23, 2005 07:50 UTC
     It's very important to protect our agriculture and for biosecurity...and yes it's taken EXTREMELY seriously here.
