Nice. I've heard that a lot of the scenery is stunning over there, too. 
Slow and expensive electronics importing AIUI, but maybe that'd be in my 
best interest anyway...biggest thing to raise my blood pressure lately 
was my last trip to MicroCenter[1].

As soon as I finally snap and go all luddite hermit or something, maybe 
that's where I'll retire ;) New Zealand that is, not MicroCenter.
