New Zealand is a nice country just under Australia. Very laid back and easy to talk to people. Beautiful mountains and snow hills. Most people believe that they do bad thing to sheep, this is not true. 100% False. Lots of places for camping and hiking. We, like all other country's, have feelings. People saying things about the country is just hurtful. Yes, we may be a small country, and yes we can be annoying, but who doesn't want to just lay back in front of a lake with mountains around you. Most lakes even have snow capped mountains in plain sight, but you are still very hot. We get a lot of tourists, but to be on the safe side, you should lock your cars. New Zealanders are nice, kind people. There has been a series of Earthquakes, knocking down a lot of houses. But everyone pitched in to help get people back on there feet. So far over 2000 houses have been rebuilt, but that's not enough. People are still giving money to the people who need it most. We don't pick fights, the people who do are drunk teenagers who think they know everything, which, most teenagers think that anyway. I've seen some things that we have the highest rate of teenage deaths. But do you think it's easy for kids to hear things, that ARENT true, about their beautiful peaceful country. Most of the deaths are because of the people who decided to spread rumours. It's not easy. How would you like it if people started saying things about YOU guys? So yes. Remember this, please.
I live in New Zealand. It's not as bad as you think it is. Stop the rumors. New Zealanders are the same as you. Human.

Get the New Zealand mug.A nice country, made up of two main islands (the North, and South island, unoriginal, I know). It is a very green place, and yes, it has alot of sheep.
As far as I can see, it is not as beautiful as it is made out to be, but since I live in New Zealand, I am used to it, and don't know much better.
It does have beautiful forests, but the countryside is mostly farm areas.
It has the highest rate of youth suicide in the world.
On the plus side, Wellington (the capital city) has one of the largest number of restaurants per head in the world!
We do not actually hate Aussies, some people sometimes mock Aussies, in one way or another, but hardly any of them are serious.
I have yet to meet an incredibly racist person living in New Zealand.
Well, if you aren't very used to alot of green, then New Zealand is definately for you, and by the way, in the 80's we were incredibly backward, but now I'd say we are fine.
Oh, and if you are going to go to New Zealand, make sure you go in the summer, it can get quite wet and rainy in the winter (and incredibly windy if you go to Wellington) (for all you people in the US, your winter = our summer).
Places I reccomend:
I'd suggest you go to Auckland (the largest city in New Zealand), but not for too long as you run out of things to do very quickly.
Martinborough, in February, or March, so you can catch the Martinborough fair, which is quite nice, and you can also check out the vineyards if you have a taste for wine.
Taupo (halfway up the North Island), as it has a very nice active volcanic lake, which gets very warm.
Wellington (capital city), as you can see Parliament (what with its Beehive building (which although original,I fell is very ugly)), and the museum, which has a very nice history of New Zealand.
And in the South Island:
You should check out the Frans Josef glacier (but only if you haven't seen any glaciers before).
Queenstown, which is a great place for adventure sports, there are some quite nice skiing areas too (if you go in the winter).
Christchurch, which is also a big city in New Zealand, but not as big as most other big cities in other parts of the world.
You should also check out all the various nature walks, which are really beautiful, and are the best ways to experiance the nature in New Zealand first hand.
New Zealand would be a great place to move to for retirement, as it is quite laid back. New Zealand doesn't run much risk of terrorism, or nuclear war, as New Zealand is quite small and insignificant, and most people don't even know where it is.
As for living there, it's a great place for farming, if that's what you want to do.
The houses can be quite expensive, and I'd suggest you buy an old house, as some of the new ones can be quite small and ugly.
The TV is okay, you don't get the luxury of getting 100's of channels if you get cable, or sattelite, but you get enough, and anyway, in New Zealand you are far more likely to be out doing things instead of staying indoors, watching TV.
I would not suggest New Zealand for University.
The Primary and Secondrary schools are of a decent standard, not as strict as the schools in other parts of the world, unless you go to a private school, which is definately the way to go if you happen to have the money for it.
The New Zealand dollar is pretty weak vs other currencies, but it is rising, so things imported from other parts of the world can be quite expensive.
New Zealand is also becoming a very popular place to film movies, after the recent success of the Lord of the Rings (a bit over rated if you ask me, Peter Jacksons earlier films (the far more violent ones) are much better in my opinion).
So I would recomend it for a holiday only for those who really appreciate nature in all its glory, as it is hard to find places in the world as green as New Zealand.

Non New Zealander tourist: New Zealand looks like quite a nice country, I think I may go there some time.
New Zealander: Sure, it's quite a nice place, maybe you should do that.
Non New Zealander tourist: Okay....I will then.

Get the New Zealand mug.by ACDCrocksMYsocks November 21, 2004
Get the new jersey mug.A state west of NYC known to be one of the most polluted places in the country. If you drive long enough on the NJ Turnpike your chances of getting lung cancer and all sorts of diseases increses by 90%. Its a more spacious state with cheap and less expensive land and houses than NY, in general. A place where people live to get a house for cheap and try to imtiate NY.The NJ average housing price could be 649,000$ (thats even if it is) but thats because u get a house that has 30 rooms ,10 bathrooms, and a lake, a river ,and etc....The land is cheap. In NY you would get a small average house with 11/2 bathroom 2 bedrooms and a backyard if ur lucky with that being the starting price(thats in the bad areas too). Jersey is not wealthy at all and a house in Long Island alone can buy out 4-8 jersey houses.Shit an apartment in Tribeca cost more than a 5 acre house in Jersey. New Jersey people always try to prove themselves to New Yorkers because they know we are more real and have that NY "atitude" so they feel the need to prove to us that they "gangsta" as well, meanwhile they are just a bunch of suburban kids thinking they are "ghetto" and live the hard life. Jersians are not New Yorkers so dont not be mistaken they do not speak like us with the"cawfee" or "Wawtah" accent. They try but they cant be us New Yorkers (dont be fooled people). They are not even close to aggrivated or raged drivers as New Yorkers and if someone from Jersey drove in NY they would be harrased. Everyone knows that Jersey is a dump as well as Staten Island which is literally a few swimming strokes away from Jersey. The reason they got nice cars is because the houses are so cheap that they can afford the car they want.
The name says it all "DIrty Jersey" Keyword: DIrty!!!

Get the New Jersey mug.A place in central Jersey where gay dudes give out free blow and people vomit all over houses. It is commonplace to fall asleep in an all-night diner at around dawn while visiting New Brunswick. New Brunswick also fosters the world's most unattractive female population. New Brunswick is an even worse place to be than Wilkes-Barre, PA. However, gay men in New Brunswick are always very willing to pay your train fares home if you are unfortunate enough to be stranded there. New Brunswick is not just the armpit of the armpit of America, though; New Brunswick can be used to describe a generally surreal or just plain shitty state of mind. There is a 65% percent chance you will meet an Eskimo Brother of yours in New Brunswick.
Me: "Hey man that gay dude just gave me free coke!"
Friend: "DUH! We're obviously in New Brunswick, bro!"
"Oh fuck, I don't have enough money to take the train back to Philly. Good thing that gay kid sleeping in the back of that SUV gave me 40 bux!"
"Yo man these girls are so trashy. Are we in New Brunswick?"
"Holy fuck! When that homo whipped out that bag of coke it got really New Bruns in here, bro!"
(referring to some place strangely surreal, scummy or trashy) "Are we in New Brunswick, bro?"

Get the new jack mug.The armpit of America.
Sure it has great malls, some pretty nasty but still fun beaches, and you don't ever have to pump your own gas (because to do so would be illegal). But it still smells, needless to say. And Jersey girls are like the stereotypical Long Islander..
