The other issue i have is landing near water, prime examples of this are Hong Kong, Gibraltar, Sydney. where you can see water either side till the plane touches down.
If it's a clear day, im normally ok with landing (except in the places above!) however my fave sound is the "bong" when the plane gets to the gate, that means you have arrived safely!!!
Do not come to Wellington then. Approaches are over water, northern is between two hills. Most of all the wind and turbulence with the pilots making constant throttle changes will leave you with very dirty clothes!
