Kiwis are strange people (but in a good way). For as many similarities they share with South Africans (rugby driven, love of the outdoors etc) there are more than enough differences – and to this day I still catch myself laughing at sayings such as “sweet as”, “good-o”, “right as rain”, “Bob’s your uncle” (…who is this Bob? And what does his being my uncle have to do with anything!!! Haha)
I am happy living in NZ and wouldn’t change anything, but I will always miss SA. Although I am very much Kiwi on the surface I am still a very proud South African at heart and will always consider it to be my home.
