After all of my exams, I took a holiday to Australia to visit friends!  To get there, I took flights after flights, and the most surprising one was the 3 hour flight from Auckland to Sydney.  I did not realize Australia was that close to New Zealand.  Another fun moment was when I crossed through Australia customs using the new (to me) e-passport kiosk.  For the record, if you use these, you don't get a stamp on your passport.  I realized this when I got through and asked the first person I saw if I could get a stamp.  He took me to the information desk, and the next person led me to one of the customs check-in people.  He finished up allowing two people in, spun around in his chair, and held out his hand.  Without a word, he took my passport, stamped it, and handed it back.  "Do you get this a lot?" I asked.  He laughed, nodded yes, and returned to his job.
