It's disgusting.

Do you think?

Take away the weed and you've got the smell of our place.

But anyway, that's another story.

All the word is from the people who've travelled in this Armageddon of travel that we've had in the last post-COVID period.

Everyone goes, oh, it's so good to get away from New Zealand.

New Zealand's so bloody depressing.

Oh, the world's moving on.

And I thought this will be interesting to experience this to see if it's true.

It isn't.

Well, it is true.

No, it isn't.

It isn't.

I explained this to Greg, my hairdresser, yesterday.

And I said, the thing about it is when you go to a London or a New York, they're two of the great cities of the world and they will always be great.

They can't not be great.

But the problems that we face are the problems they face and the problems they face are the problems we face.

You know, the lack of hiring, the crappy service, the thing that's too expensive.

If you look as a non-tourist, you can find all the problems there that we have here.

And Katie's 100% right.
