Burt's Bees

Just a quick note- I went out to pick up some Burt's Bees shampoo and conditioner because it is usually about 8 bucks a bottle and I thought it would be nice to have some good shampoo (I don't know what they will have for me on the Ice) and it was $40 a bottle!! New Zealand dollars are worth slightly less than US $, but not that much less! I have noticed that food is a bit more expensive, but thought that might be because I've only eaten out here. It's an interesting fact, because, as I said earlier, Christchurch is a very small city. It's not as if I'm trying to buy shampoo in Tokyo! (although, apparently, it is).

I guess I'll just go with whatever they give me. And honestly, I think my hair will probably not be my number one priority when I'm living out of my backpack for the next 6 months :)

  1. It's because they import so much stuff in New Zealand! NZ actually has a much larger "ecological footprint" than the U.S. because of this as well...
