In Australia and New Zealand, shopping carts are "trolleys" and trolleys are "trams". I learned this a few weeks ago while shopping at Woolworths (there are hardly any still in the US, but they're one of the most popular grocery stories in Australia) where I was rather rudely informed of the difference.
In any event, on our first day in Christchurch which is on the South Island of New Zealand (my only other trip to New Zealand was to the Cisco Auckland office which is on the North Island) we took a tram ride through Christchurch.
And Wayne, our driver and tour guide, was great at explaining the sights (which is probably why he's featured on their brochures). In this Flip Video you can find out:
* What $47M feels like
* The site of Peter Jackson's movie Heavenly Creatures which is the first feature film with Kate Winslet.
* How Captain James Cook named the "cabbage tree"
