I was approached, in the middle of a broad, well-lit and by no means shady-looking street, by someone who, according to the "if it quacks like a duck" criterion, was most likely a prostitute. I fled.

I'm not sure whether there's anything to learn here. I guess I look like a desperate potential customer, but I already expected as much.

I learned that New Zealand is not the only country looking at changing its national flag.

... although I like this one even more – very representative:

Nice work, Fiji. :)

plasticine can slowly be warmed up to nightmareless moldable consistencies just by by holding it in your hands.

I learned the amusing Antipodean word 'Bogan', which seems to have a similar meaning to 'Chav'.

I learned than stove-top pressure cookers are easy to use, and that they can produce incredible results.
