joshtaal: Hi all, I was just sitting here surfing through CS & I thought to myself, 'Theres not many New Zealanders on here' & then I thought, "I wonder how many people even know anything about New Zealand" So for all you non-kiwis here's my question. What do you know about New Zealand & have you ever been here?
No, sorry..... I don't know much about New Zealand, my friend. I have always wanted to go and I have heard lots of lovely things about it. I confess the very long flight puts me off.........

NZ is a cool place to live, our government promotes us as clean and green or 100 percent pure, unfortunately we still have issues around rivers not safe to swim in due to pollution etc. Though our beaches are pretty safe.
We still have issues around safety in some places especially larger towns or cities, not safe to walk alone at night etc, problems with gangs, drugs and violence.
NZ is a great place to visit but you still need to have a common sense approach to visiting and safety.
Lots of awesome scenery, especially the south island
Whale watching in Kaikoura is awesome Bungee jumping in skippers canyon Walk the saddle at Mt Tarawera Mount Maunganui where i am from is a lovely place, awesome beach and a mountain you can easily walk up in an hour or around in half an hour ...google it. Rotorua for its Maori attractions
Most part new zealanders are pretty friendly and accommodating and love to party and show visitors a great time and are most hospitable. So do come and visit our country we are very proud to say we come from a pretty amazing place..!!

You'd be hard pushed to find someone more patriotic than bbwandcute, thanks for that
