Twkets available at the Humanities Theatre Box Office (885â€"4280 ) and all other BASS outlets Unlike many of the European countries which I have visited, I find New Zealand is very similar to Canada in many ways so you immediately feel at home. Being part of the "Empire" and speaking English certainly helps the situation. However, there are some differences and we experienced the first one when we tried to phone an airport hotel for a room . We used the airiine payâ€"phone and dropped in 40 cents NZ. The hotel receptionist answered and I asked immediately if there were any rooms available. Suddenly the hotel clerk started to yell: *"Press button Aaaaa." I wasn‘t familiar with the accent as yet amd could not understand her request. Suddenly she hung up. So I tried again and met the same request. After using up a dollar‘s worth of coins, a local explained to me that when the hotel answers your call, you must press Button A which is on the side of the phone box. When I did this, then the hotel clerk could hear me. I understand that this procedure causes daily problems at the airport for American travelliers. Aiso, if there is no answer. you press Button B and your coin is returned. Hence, some foreigners were bewildered as to why they did not get their money back. w # *# While we were in Auckland, we saw children everywhere. Since this is the summer season in New Zealand, the pupiis are still on holidays till Feb. 6. There is mo school in December or January. Once school is in, resort prices fall but the weather by Canadian standards continues to be warm and ideal for the beach or golfing. The talk all over Auckland is skipper Chris Dickson. He‘s the Wayne Gretzky of the sailing yacht KIW!I which lost to the Stars & Stripes recently . The whole topic of conversation in New Zealand is about the "American Cup" finals. Every evening there is a half hour television show reviewing the past racing events and the future plans of Dennis Conners and the Australian defenders. At one point. it was felt the New Zealanders were going to beat the Americans. reach the finals, and upset the Aussies. Hence, large parcels of harbor frontage were bought by business men with an eye on the 1990 challienge round being hosted in Auckland. That backâ€"fired when KIW] lost 4â€"1 and now there is a lot of real estate that might be unloaded shortly.
