Wellington
place. Only the best city in New Zealand! Struth! From the beehive-shaped legislative buildings to the furnicular railroad that takes you down to the cricket rink there is little about Wellington that won't stop your heart with its grandeur.
Taken off the natives by enterprising Europeans in the seventeenth century, Wellington was rapidly developed into a pasture for sheep.
Rugby is played a bit but the terrain isn't really favourable and the people are more likely to follow lawn bowling or rounders.

Wellington is nearly as pretty as Christchurch and, with a good bit of work, could be as interesting as Auckland.
Without the first-class rugby.
Right.

New York
place. Bustling metropolis brimming with night life and dreamy-eyed folk chasing both the promise that is America and a sea of yellow cabs. Unlimited opportunity but limited seating. Concrete spires surrounding halal food carts beside world-class museums. Pigeons. So many pigeons. Many with feathers.

No. This is how it always looks.
Hey! How about those New York Knickerbockers!

Hey! Hand me a Snickers bar! It's kind of boring out here on the curling rink. But at least I'm living the dream.
Here you go, eh, my olympic "athlete".
You didn't put air quotes around "athlete" did you?
