Kiwi money

I was wondering what the New Zealand money looks like. To answer that, there is no better place to go than the New Zealand's Central Bank (a.k.a. Reserve Bank of New Zealand¹) website. Just like the Brazilian's Central Bank website², you can find everything you would want to know about their currency.

Two things I found particularly interesting and useful:

• A .pdf showing all the bills and coins of the New Zealand currency³. Moreover, if you ever wondered who is Mr./Ms. so and so in a certain bill, this is the document that can answer that question! =)
•  A webpage showing the security features of the kiwi bills⁴.

Hope you like it!! ;)

Quote of the week - V

"To the world you may be just one person, but to one life you may be the world."

Passenger Arrival Card

As you probably know, you will have to fill out a form while in your way to New Zealand. The form is called "Passenger Arrival Card" and they give it to you in the airplane. However, you can take a look at it in advance as it is also available in the New Zealand's Customs website¹.

You can find the English version here².

The good thing about it is that the form is also available in many different languages³.  However, I am quite sure that the air company won't have all the languages available (although I think they will have an English and a Spanish version). In any case, if you have trouble with English it's always nice to take a look at the form in your native language, so you won't have any problems in filling it out.

Here are the Portuguese⁴ and the Spanish⁵ versions.

Hope you find this helpful! See you!!

## Update - 1##

I have just noticed that the Zip Code field does not have enough blanks for the Brazilian standard. It only has 7 blanks whereas Brazil's Zip Code have 8 numbers... I'll figure out what to do by asking a flight attendant when he or she give me the form. And I will let you know, of course! =)
