If you end up in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch you could be just in another big city anywhere in the world,

Calling Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch "big cities" - I could tell you were a kiwi before I even read the name!

Haha I worked in Wellington for a few months... I'd consider it a large town. Part of that is the geography, which conspires against the sprawl I'd expect from a "big city", and which is certainly a point in Wellington's favor. I haven't been there in about a decade... do grocers stay open after 5 PM yet?

Wellington does feel the most city like of anywhere in NZ. It really is a tiny city as opposed to just a very large town. Aucklands city centre is really one street, then just miles of suburbs stitched on to it.
