For Any Nightlife Travelers

Here's another thing to note if you ever come to New Zealand, this is at least the impression I got.
New Zealand goes to bed at 9:00 sharp. That means most day's everything but night clubs and bars closes at 9:00 at the latest. Most close at 6:00, the mall starts to close at 5:00 except for the cinema which runs until 9:00.
Night life is from 10:00 - midnight. After that the buses stop running and you're stranded unless you have a car. Since most people don't bother with cars if they live anywhere near a bus stop, this means that most people leave anything at 11:30. They do have late night buses on Saturday, because apparently people never do anything on Friday night. If you're found existing past 1:00 am, you're probably going to get some questions asked by cops. Conveniently for me as I was on my way home last night, there was a very loud, very drunk man pissing on a bakery to keep them occupied.
