Two and a half days to get a feel for Wellington

I also found that everywhere in NZ had amazing Sushi. We got a beautiful, fresh, cheap, sushi from a little place in Cuba St and sat and people watched for a while.

Mmmm... sushi! That's definitely going on the list!

If you want to go to a Japanese restaurant, Kazu on Tory Street is great and I would recommend it.

Yikes, that's a long way to go for an interview! Do they not have Skype ?

Universities often fly people out for interviews. By the time they get to the interview stage they are pretty sure they want you, if they pay to fly you out.

I've already done a phone interview. I guess, technically, this is a second interview!

That's what I am hoping! I think a lot of businesses fly people out too. I was at a wedding recently and a few people were asking whether they would be flying me out Business Class. I wish!

Thanks for the restaurant tip, BTW. I will add it to the list! (Whatever happens w.r.t. the job, I am going to have to come back to Wellington with my wife and complete the list!)

Yep. That was the one that left me feeling somewhat overwhelmed by all the things to do in Wellington in the first place!

Thanks so much for this recommendation. I went there last night and had what was quite possibly the nicest meal I have ever had. (I was pretty hungry and "hunger is the best sauce" as the Irish say but, even so, it was pretty damn fine.) Definitely recommended!
