Best Thing About the Country?
No burglar guards or alarms & can go for walks unarmed - in essence no fear!
Biggest Cultural Difference?
New Zealanders are more laid back, less driven, and not as religious.
Top Things to Do or See?
Queenstown, Lake Taupo, Bungy jump off the Nevis Arc in the South Island - 134m!
I arrived here in 1994 as an 11 year old and have now spent the majority of my life in this country. With all my family and some friends still in SA I have returned twice and always look forward to going back for holidays.
Whilst I have been in New Zealand 15 years I still don’t consider myself to be a full New Zealander as my South African upbringing will forever make up a big part of who I am. I do however appreciate many aspects of NZ and as a small country have found it to be quite efficient in many aspects. One thing also to note is that the lights rarely go off!!
