Weeeeeeeeeeeee. Looks like there's a pretty big new expansion pack for Civ 6. Yay!
Wahhaah. Slow-mo butt spin!
Not everywhere but yes, snow can exist here.Quote:

Whoever it was that got the bronze probably spent some time OS training like in Europe...but possibly also over in New Zealand I think they might have slightly better snow.
After a quick look they usually get at least 1 metre more, there are more snow fields and most of it is above the tree line.
If I had to train for a snow sport I'd do New Zealand for our winter and then go to Europe for their winter. But I'm not a sports person so maybe I'm wrong.
That all makes sense. I just imagined the Disney movie, Cool Runnings. :wacko:
Im not impressed by these figure skaters performing to swing music. You can't keep tempo to that on ice.
lol no. It isn't as bad as that.Quote:

New Zealand is only a hop away though and pretty sure you still don't need a visa to go there (or from there to come here) even though we are separate countries. Just a valid Aussie passport.
oh yeah, its weird to think that south is colder for you. I don't need a passport to drive to Canada or Mexico, just an "Enhanced Driver's Licence."Quote:

Our landmass isn't connected to any other countries at all. To go to New Zealand you need to catch an international flight (fastest) or go by ship.
Anyway, with an Irish passport if I'm in Europe I can travel around fairly freely.
I haven't had a valid Aussie passport for decades.
