Apparently this happened three weeks ago and the news is just coming out now. Winston Peters as usual has no idea what is happening and is too busy licking Trump's boots to actually say or do anything.

What were some of the big/key differences you noticed between the two?

The original plan was to actually do something similar. Start at SF, visit some National parks like Yosemite, go to Seattle and then drive on over to Canada... But with some of the early outbreaks in the US happening in and around Seattle, that quickly hanged to Just Canada, which quickly changed to Lets do a NZ Roadie, to lets just stay at home :)

Between the US and Canada you mean? I thought Vancouver was more beautiful and cleaner than SF. The air also was cleaner which I really noticed for some reason. I liked the sushi better in Vancouver, in fact some of the best japanese food I ever ate. The people seemed nicer.

As I said almost everything was a little better.
