I'm working on a travel story for Stuff about the things that have surprised returning Kiwis about New Zealand. If you have recently returned from overseas or know someone who has, it would be great to hear about the things that have stood out for you, for better or for worse. Whether it's to do with the weather, the cost of things, the public transport, the food, the housing, the people or something else entirely, we'd be keen to hear about it. Please remember that your comment may be included in the article, unless you say you don't want it to be. Thank you.

"My neighbour Ann, a retired special ed teacher, goes the extra mile for her community. On her neighbourhood walks she notices blocked drains, or dangerous pavements on school routes and spends time phoning the Council to get them fixed. She is part of a local group that petitioned for new school crossings on Takanini School Road. She volunteers at the local school for free maths tuition. She sets a really great example of looking out for her community and makes the world a better place."

Think you know how old your dog is? Think again.
Multiplying by seven isn't accurate, a new study says. Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and other leading health institutions across the country have now debunked that common belief.
According to their findings, a one-year-old dog is similar to a 31-year-old human.

Council rubbish collectors have had to dump contaminated residential yellow bin waste every day since May 4, when recycling facility EcoCentral reopened after the coronavirus lockdown.
In that time 635 truckloads of recycling have had to be thrown away – almost half of what has been collected, or about 3175 tonnes. The problem, caused by people throwing non-recyclable waste into their yellow bins, has cost ratepayers about $635,000. Read more here.

This is very special.
I’ve been making this beautiful thick creamy yoghurt now for 10 years and have kept the culture going all that time . Caspian Sea ( or Matsoni) yoghurt is an authentic ancient culture from Armenia in the Caucasus. I use organic milk and cream, and it’s so easy to make, you just add about one and a half litres of milk or 50/50 milk and cream ( which is what I do, but you may use any type of milk) to a cup full of the culture, and leave it at room temperature for 24 hours and it’s done! You put it in the fridge to chill and it’s ready to eat!
Before you start eating it you keep a cupful in another container in the fridge ready for your next brew.
You will LOVE the taste. I’m offering a cupful for $10.00 and if you take care of it it will keep on giving for you, and you will have it for life! Your yoghurt from then on will only cost you the price of the milk. Google to research the properties of Caspian Sea yoghurt

With Covid-19 still a very real risk, people who are unwell are told to stay home, and to keep any sickly kids home too - but what if you don't have any more sick leave owing?

Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.
New Zealand’s minimum sick leave allowance is one of the lowest in the OECD. In Australia they get 10 days, in most European countries it’s even more.
Should Kiwis be entitled to more sick leave?
