You tend to do financial reports etc .. for a larger company that you are employed/contracted for. Anyone can do it even if you had a degree in Linguistics. I have mine in business so a few of the required papers I already did so I may need just 3. I'd stick a gun in my mouth. God damn, that sounds like hell, the most boring hell any person could imagine.	Metla (12)

Shop shuts at 5, none opened on the weekend. No bars or cafe's just the odd dairy selling pies and the odd diner doing fish and chips. New Zealand has come a long way in the last 20 years, due I think to the fact the Kiwi's are travelling more now and bringing back ideas, and the government opened up trading hours. And we are catering to our large tourist industry. We have a street in Tauranga (The Strand on which there are about 20 bars and cafes and 1 shop. 20 years ago there were 20 shops and 2 icecream bars). I imagine most cities have the same phenomenon. Regarding your slides etc, I am sure I read somewhere on the net recently that Kodak was closing production of some of its film and slide lines.	Digby (677)

Regarding your slides etc, I am sure I read somewhere on the net recently that Kodak was closing production of some of its film and slide lines. Kodachrome (K14 process) has ceased processing (end of 2010), film production was ceased about 1.5 years ago which some people hoarded the stuff and ebayed it at a premium price which many are left now with unsold stock and unshot :annoyed: At a time they were really asking like $20US for one roll of film especially the older emulsion of Kodachrome 25. There were still some online last week I think. Kodachrome labs used to be around the world with ones even in NZ like Elson (across from the Porirua shopping centre). But over time with Fuji Velvia and digital demand dropped. So once upon a time we had to send them to Sydney, which I was still in school hadn't picked up photography then, then it becamee Tokyo, Switzerland and maybe 2 places in the USA. For the last year it was just 1 lab in the USA (Kansas). I shipped mine to Kansas. Normal slide film (E6) is still available in the world incl NZ although many labs have shut up shop and switched to photo neg film (the brown stuff) - C41. In NZ there might just be a few labs who does E6, many of them just courier them off to other labs to process. With digital, minilab machines have been produced that now only accept digital media like the ones from appliance stores, it used to be that they supported C41 and E6 film. C41 film is still ok at $6NZ processed not printed. E6 is like $20 processed or $30 if you want them mounted too. A big difference. I just send them abroad now in batches. Yeah my dad was saying that before, shops closed in weekends. So if you needed a new shirt you had to make plans. Also he tends to complain about the low wage then but airfares overseas were still $2,000 a ticket. Wasn't that you could buy fish and chips for 20c or something back then ........	Nomad (952)

1169575	2011-01-16 10:06:00	Digby, Vauxhall Viva, 12/07/67. 8 gallons Regular = $2.88 '' '' Super = $3.12 Those were the days. lol	BobM (1138)
1169576	2011-01-16 19:29:00	I remember filling up my Suzuki 50 in 1966 and it cost me 3 shillings and 9d. It held just over a gallon of fuel, and that included 2 stroke oil. :)	Trev (427)
1169577	2011-01-16 19:33:00	Nomad join a photography club and meet people of the same interests as you. It will also broaden your outlook on photography. Will get you interested in other things to photograph. And I would be pretty sure that most weekends they do field trips to different areas to photograph. :)	Trev (427)
