That will take a while. Considering that there's no bridge and plane takes an hour or so.

Re: Earthquake in Southern New Zealand

Maybe we should make a separate topic about why New Zealand is hundreds of times better than Australia?

[offtopic] Well, they were the only team to finish the World Cup unbeaten...[/offtopic]

As they sometimes say, New Zealanders are just Aussies that could swim.

New zealand isnt part of Australia, yet it is at the same time.

Australia is both a country and a continent, so New Zealand is part of the continent, but not part of the country.

Untrue. Around 10% - 15% of cars are pick up trucks.

Re: Earthquake in Southern New Zealand

I was IN that earthquake. Woke up at 4.35 am and I thought someone had slammed the door in the level under my bedroom. But the shaking didnt stop, it just got worse and worse for about 40 seconds when it stopped. About halfway through I realised what it was and litrally FLEW under my bed. Gee crikey I thought I would die O.O

Lol yeah me too. I even thought it was a door slam. I just like woke up in the middle of the night and everything was shaking, and then it starting shaking WAY worse. I admit it was scary http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Emberclaw/1281645 I made a project about it. We just got power really recently.
