You don't need to wear thick, thin or windbreaker clothes. I caught the rain and snow on Mt. Cook today, only wearing a windbreaker and I didn't feel cold.

You definitely need to bring down jacket. The weather is very changeable these days and it will get colder. It will be even colder with strong wind and heavy rain.

Not cold. Wore short-sleeved T-shirt, cashmere coat and single pants today in Christchurch. I don't feel cold. May be because I don't walk outside much.

Autumn and winter are here, yet you are not wearing a down jacket. You must be planning to buy a new one in New Zealand.

Today in Hokitika, I passed by Arthur Pass and got off the car to have a look at the scenery. I'm kind of afraid of cold, so I wore a thermal underwear, a sweater and a fleece jacket, a UNIQLO thermal tights and a autumn sports pants. I also brought a hat in case of wind. It's pretty cold outside at night.

I think you'd better check the local weather forecast, as everyone's perception of cold is different. I once asked in a group what clothes to bring, and someone said to wear a down jacket. However, I ended up not wearing it at all and just wore a hoodie and a t-shirt every day. Even on the Cook Mountain Trail, I only wore a t-shirt. The coldest was in Queenstown when it rained, but I still only wore a hoodie and a spring/summer jacket. Many locals wear a down jacket on the upper body and shorts on the lower body.

No, it hasn't rained recently, just the wind is particularly strong.

So suggest people rent cars with credit cards and make sure your credit cards have rental car insurance. My card has it, so I don't have to buy any collision insurance. After getting home, I just fill out an online claim form, upload all the photos, documents, and credit card records when I rented the car, etc. Two weeks later, I received an email saying the claim was approved, and all the windshield fees that the rental car company deducted from me were returned to me. They asked me how I wanted them to send the money to me ? New Zealand Q&A

The service staff took a lot of pictures when I picked up the car. I thought they were professional, so I didn't take any pictures (besides, I thought that since I had full insurance, there wouldn't be any problems if an accident happened). Today, when I returned the car, a different lady looked at it very carefully and found a little damage to the paint. She didn't compare it to the pictures when I picked up the car. She just emphasized that I didn't need to make any payments, but asked me to sign. I wondered if the insurance company was playing some kind of trick ? New Zealand Q&A

Apply for an electronic visa to New Zealand online, fill in the name according to the requirements, and find that the displayed name is opposite to the passport. If this is issued, the name should also be reversed. How do you fill in when you apply? For example, the visa is XU ZHANG, and the passport is ZHANG XU. Or do you need to reverse the order of the name when applying for the visa to keep it consistent with the order of the passport ? New Zealand Q&A
