Another thing I can’t seem to go without is light bulbs. I can’t find anyone that makes them here but it’s starting to get dark around 4 in the afternoon (in my room at least) and the one light I have left doesn’t light it anywhere near well enough for me to do my homework. When I started this year I had grand visions of living it out by candle-light but sadly I now realise it’s not going to happen. So just like batteries, I am going to have to buy foreign made lights. I did find a couple of New Zealand companies that import and sell bulbs direct to the public, The Light Bulb Shop, The Light Bulb Man, and Lighting Direct. I figure buying from a local business like these is the next best solution.
