My observations on Auckland thus far...

The weather is fickle. The sky can't figure out if it wants to pour or drown us in sunshine. It changes every 10 minutes. Either way though, it's COLD.
The people here are extremely friendly and love to chat.
Auckland reminds me more of home than Sydney.
Bus drivers have a really good relationship with their passengers. Everyone thanks the drivers as they leave. When the bus driver is done for the night, they say "see yous" to the whole bus. When they are just starting for the night, they say "good evening". One of the drivers got off the bus to make sure we knew how to get to the museum because she could see us looking aimlessly around. Precious!
They don't have pennies or nickels.
They have a closer relationship with their native people, the Maori, then we do with ours.
They do not have lactase pills.
The landscape is quite hilly.

The closest thing I found was a digestive tablet that contains lactase, among many other things. But it only has a smidge compared to what I need.
