Yeah its a really nice place. Also the Maoris are cool, I know quite a few of them. And if I remember correctly the first person to split an atom was a New Zealander, but this is not true. Some Germans did it about 4 years earlier. Still an awesome country though.

Well despite New Zealand being the best thing since sliced bread (and trust me it is) there are one or two things wrong. First of all our ozone layer sucks, if you go outside on a summer day without thick slathering of sunscreen you're going to get burnt. Our internet, telecommunications and game release dates suck, our school system sucks (seriously NCEA is just plain stupid) and despite what you may see advertised we are just plain boring. I live in Christchurch and I'm telling ya there's positively nothing to do on a friday night apart from going out and getting trashed.

Oh and dairy products costs more here than they do over seas. What the hell?

Well I did say that New Zealand is the best thing since sliced bread didn't I. Okay positive things... let me see.

We are a very pretty country indeed, the people are really laid back, good natured and honest, there's a beach within 10 kilometers of most places, the night skies are really clear and we have had some great movies made over here.

Overall New Zealand is just a nice and relaxed place to be. Oh and it's way awesomer than Australia.

I know a few English ex-pats here in Aus who don't like the Irish, for obvious reasons.
