These answers are a bit late, but they are as follows
1. Since the world is round, we have a start/finsish line in the same location or
2. In the future
Take your pick

I wonder which is farther / more expensive? Nowhere, USA or The End of the World?

Yeah, unfortunately it's not cheap to come visit the end of the world lol.

Here's Mt Ruapehu (Roo-a-pay-hoo), one of NZs many volcanoes (last erupted in the early-mid 90's, I remember watching it from afar as a kid)
And Mt Ngarahoe (cone shaped one) (naa-ra-hoe-ee) and Mt Tongariro (rugged flat type one to the right) (tong-a-reer-o) - these two are right next to Ruapehu and Tongariro is where Mordor was set for the Lord of The Rings movies.
Here's Lake Taupo (tow-paw, proper Maori pronounciation, or an attempt at writing it at least lol) - a great big lake in the middle of the North Island that was created by a giant volcanic explosion many many years ago.
Auckland city centre from a boat we went on a harbour cruise in, the tall spiky building is the Sky Tower
Me on Rangitoto (rang-ee-toe-toe) Island - another result of volcanic activity. There is no soil on this island but the trees grow awesomely on the volcanic rock.
Going underneath Auckland harbour bridge on the boat
Rangitoto Island in the background, the north shore part of Auckland in front of that, from the viewing deck of the sky tower - I nearly pooped myself lol not a big fan of heights
The beach at Devonport, a suburb of the North Shore area that we had a nosey around

Cool pics Beckies!!! 
The Sky Tower reminds me of the TV Tower in Berlin. Really tall and with the candy cane-colored antenna thingy at the top. Don't think you can jump from it, though.
