New Zealand South Island (Part 1) - Arthurs Pass and Glaciers!
I spent 5 weeks in New Zealand (2 weeks on the North Island and 3 weeks on the South Island). This is the first in a series of videos documenting my trip on the South Island. This video focuses on Arthurs Pass, a beautiful national park, and the two biggest glaciers in New Zealand (Franz Josef and Fox).
My name is Phil and I am recently retired, so I have decided to spend the next 10 years traveling the world solo! I am currently spending 4 months traveling in the South Pacific. So far I've been to Hawaii (3 islands), American Samoa, Samoa, Fiji, and Australia. If you haven't seen my earlier videos, please check them out! Please subscribe and follow me on my journey!

    Been to all the Hawaiian islands and I think Big Island is my favorite. There's just so many things to do there, and you're right... you've only just scratched the surface. What I think is cool is that the different "districts" of BI feel so different to each other, and it's almost you're on a different island. E.g., Kona side feels vastly different than Hilo side. Waimea is completely different than both of those areas. Same goes for South point, Kua district, and Captain Cook area. My last trip there was 2 weeks, and that's still not enough time to see everything. Great video, thanks for making it!

    The graffitti is a huge problem for Grenoble and the most disgusting thing is that the current mayor doesn't just do anything about it, but even encourages it by a total laissez-faire attitude even considering it some kind of street-art. Grenoble is unfortunately the graffitti capital of France and this "streetart" really maims the cityscape.

      It seems to be a problem all over Europe. If you ride the train through Geneva, there is graffiti everywhere. It is a big problem in US cities, too. I don't understand why people feel the need to write all over everything. I agree with you - it ruins the cityscape. Thank you for the comment!

      @@philipsorg4406 non ce n'est pas le cas. Un fleuve peut être très dangereux et sournois. Il y a très longtemps de cela, Grenoble a été inondée et cela a fait des morts par centaines. Un fleuve termine sa course dans l'océan, la mer ou une mer intérieure. Une rivière est un affluent d'un fleuve. Elle se jette dans une rivière, qui se jette dans une autre qui se jette dans un fleuve
