    i think my biggest downside to moving to new zealand from the states is the food selection is just awful compared to the states. I could find a restaurant for any cuisine within an hour drive from me. Not having any mexican food here kills me being from colorado and it being one of my favorite foods. Ill definitely be trying this place since ive been looking for a banh mi place.
