About this word search
For generations of young Kiwis the OE, the overseas experience, meant London. Sydney and Melbourne are a short hop across the Tasman, and Apia and Suva are capitals of Pacific neighbours where many New Zealand families have roots. Honolulu and Los Angeles are familiar stopovers on the long way to Europe or the Americas.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Buenos Aires is the longest at eleven letters, then Los Angeles at ten. Rome, Apia and Suva are only four letters and slip in easily. The Y appears in Sydney, New York and Tokyo, and the V in Vancouver and Suva. New York and Buenos Aires run together without the space, as NEWYORK and BUENOSAIRES.
After finding each city, mark it on a world map and draw the flight path from Auckland or Christchurch. Or ask everyone where their own OE would start.
