If you wanted to be a billionaire (in Zimbabwe...just a little thing!) you had your best chance last month, when 1NZD reached 24,000,000,000ZWD (Zimbabwean Dollars) at one point, but now they've redenominated the ZWD and is currently 1NZD=6.46ZWD. I was trying to look for some foreign exchange place back then for me to exchange my $1 for $24 billion (Zimbabwean) but I never got round to doing it! If things don't get any better and inflation continues to rise then I'm sure there'll be another opportunity soon!

What an exciting soccer game last night on TVNZ Sports Extra between the NZ Women's Team and Japan! Unfortunately it fizzled to a 2-2 draw in the last half hour. I don't have Freeview yet but fortunately they're streaming all four channels on their website (NZ only). Just keep an eye on your data allowance though! Let's just say I'm supposed to be on dial-up speed..Our data allowance renews tomorrow though so tonight we're going to go binging!

There wasn't much to TVNZ Sports Extra and the other tvnz.co.nz3 and 4 channels though, as in no pre-match talk nor half-time analysis, just the game with commentary by a New Zealander, and in between was a camera shot of the field from long distance while music plays. It sorta reminds you of a security camera, only with better quality video! Funnily enough they made it through the background music and had to repeat it! That's how long they stuck with that shot for! Of course they did play a few ads here and there during the breaks, but thank goodness they weren't on during the actual game! Good on you TVNZ!
