No Cents

One of the hardest things of adjusting to New Zealand is that they have no cents (literally).

Everything is rounded up to the neartest $0.10 based on the Swedish rounding system. What makes this even more difficult is that each business gets to decide whether to round up or round down when the price ends in $0.05. Seriously.

In other news, we saw our first sheep the other day. Strangely, in a trailer behind a truck. Seriously.

  1. This is brilliant. Our country is so attached to our damn pennies, that we produce them at a cost of more than a penny.
