As promised, here is the first installment of our adventures in international drinking! Anyone wanting to join us as we taste our way around the planet need only click on the “grog files” tab in the navigation bar.
First! FIRST!!
Auckland, New Zealand
Come on, how often do you get to call first on New Years? Well, if you’re a Kiwi probably about once a year but still, we’re American so it’s cool!
Sydney claims first and the world gives it to them but that’s hogwash. Auckland is closer to the dateline, so they have lawful first claim.
Also, Sydney has fireworks off a bridge over water (weak) while Auckland launches explosives off the Sky Tower which is right over their main city buildings…way more dangerous…which means way more cool!
