They remind me of "The Wire" for some reason.
So... that's gotta be a selling point I guess.

I would say that the weekend markets are a hell of a lot more interesting than Oxford Street.

Not legal to kill people here is Australia, the judge will slap your wrist and tell you not to do it again.

Questions for New Zealanders:

1) How long would it take to drive from Queenstown to Dunedin?
2) How long would it take to drive from Dunedin to Christchurch? Where would be a good place to stop in-between overnight?
3) How likely is it that roads between these places would be closed in winter due to snow?

Thanks!!!

EDIT: Thanks kayleigh on the camden tip! Will have to check it out when I'm over there!

Lateralus: If you're still looking for info about moving to the UK (London) to teach, I have a friend from Melbourne who did exactly that about 6 months ago, I can ask her how she's been finding it if you like?

Oooh, that would be great! How coincidental, I don't know if you know but I'm from Melbourne too...

Awesome! I think quite a few Melbournian teachers go over to London to teach. Anyway thanks, look forward to hearing about her experiences

If someone internationally cheating to use Spotify were to purchase a membership, would it be valid, or would they recognize the credit card address and bar you from using the program?

I was cheating and my 14-day travel-abroad usage ran out.
