parking ticket

Lots of run-ins with The Man lately- aside from the visa renewal, I got a parking ticket downtown yesterday. NZ$12, NZ$10 if paid before 5/5/2002, of which I promptly took advantage. That's about US$4, quite amusing. Then, driving back from Tai Tapu today (on the way to the Banks Peninsula), they were stopping cars and doing compulsory breath testing for alcohol. Luckily intake of intoxicants isn't part of my routine anymore! But evidently drinking (and driving) is a huge problem here, as in most members of the Commonwealth.

Starting Friday I'm hiking the 4-day Banks Peninsula Track, finishing in time for another Vipassana course from May 1st-12th.
