10 Fun Facts about New Zealand... and what you need to know!

[@greggronemeier1256]

I’m not surprised that you found the only country that does not have bears. I heard the bears left because they don’t like wearing shoes and they expected 12 hours of WiFi for a cup of coffee.

[@heyshayla]

does this make me high maintenance? hahaha

[@greggronemeier1256]

Living On A One Way No, I like you just the way you are !

[@interestedinstuff]

As an Australian, I can assure you that that is exactly why the bears and face biting things left both Australia and New Zealand. Where as we managed to keep all the little things that will kill you. I suspect it is because there are not many devices small enough for spiders, and snakes get sick of bashing the keys with their face.

[@zaquarnnnnn]

Lol

[@zaquarnnnnn]

Greg Gronemeier ahha

[@annabelrhodes3035]

As a New Zealander, this taught me stuff about the US. Do you guys seriously not have switches on power sockets? Isn't that dangerous? Also, we don't have more stars, just less air pollution.

[@heyshayla]

Yep! No switches, we have like half the voltage of you which is why. Haha true, and you can see millions, it's incredible!

[@thosekiwigirls2848]

as a Kiwi I aggree

[@livinggreen]

I think we do actually have more stars because we can see more of the Milky Way (and we can see Orion).

[@jo-ke1zq]

Lol more stars lolol like the Americans think theres a different solar system

[@hollypendred]

But we’re also under the Milky Way here in NZ so we have more stars

[@elyzalex2271]

As an Australian I legit had no idea that powerpoints without a switch was a thing before this vid

[@heyshayla]

Hahaha I should have posted a video of ours, just google US outlet lol

[@seannholmes2697]

Yeah this is strange

[@mra6308]

Elyza Lex lol sounds dangerous.

[@alimoe1970]

i know right, weird.

[@darthpaul4432]

And I noticed that when you said "on", you motioned upwards. In NZ, "on" is a downward switch and off is upward.

[@wildbill4116]

And the price you see is the price you pay...no hidden costs.

[@heyshayla]

YES!!!!

[@goodnightkiwi]

It’s the way it should be.

[@MsVorpalBlade]

.... and the no hidden costs includes tipping, because we have a minimum wage and pay fairly and don't try to stiff employees. Happy staff, happy life!

[@lc5698]

@@MsVorpalBlade Same in Europe :) We generally only Tip 50cts or 1€ to thanks the server if we are satisfying by him! In the other hand we don't have switches on powerpoints and we drive on the right side of the road! Quite embarassing to go on a road trip in New Zealand at the beginning ahaha :)

[@lynnebax261]

Ok I’m from nz and you generalised eg ‘ they don’t wear shoes ‘ , of course they wear shoes everywhere, a few don’t , mostly when at the beach or on holiday maybe . sandflys , you make it out like they are everywhere, nope only certain times of the year and generally by rivers , lakes etc . Plug switches definitely a safety feature , we are taught from kids to turn off the switch before unplugging. Unfortunately you had a bad experience at the warehouse, they are not all like that , 1 bad egg in the basket so to speak . You don’t payWave ? Get with it USA ! This is timesaving and fast ! We can also pay by our mobile phone . Tipping is definitely a no no and very hard for us to get used to when we go overseas

[@heyshayla]

Everything you said was spot on!!

[@chillbraah684]

yeah she really did overexaggerate alot of things lmao.and they went to the warehouse in Birkenhead. thats the worst one.

[@RaiserScharpe]

Yes, spot on about shoes, sandflies etc. And the stars! Sure the constellations are different, but it's like anywhere in the world, the less ambient light at night, the more stars you see. Also, we can see Orion in the southern hemisphere too.

[@AtheneA5123]

Lynne Bax why r u sooo offended by what this lady experienced! Your country does have those nasty flies everywhere so who cares??? And we do tip the world around! Most people don’t even know you exist! Get the hell off your high horse by your kids done real shoes and HEAT up your homes!

[@lynnebax261]

nikosnalexsmom haha you are so funny ! Why do you think I’m offended ? I was simply saying the way she was talking tts like she’s saying there is sandflys everywhere when there is not , none in cities generally at certain times of the year and around water . Wearing no she’s ? She makes it out like we all do it and no one wears any , mostly we do it occasionally when on holiday, yes there are kids that will go to the local shops in bare feet , I think it’s great they have the freedom to do it and feel comfortable in their own skins ! I was simply annoyed they way she talked she categorized us all New Zealanders the same . One thing I do agree with you is our lack of heating our homes , for some reason I shake my head of that as to why , most places nowadays have heat pumps or log fires , offended ? - no , but please don’t come back to our beautiful country if we offend you !

[@sinclap2]

Sorry, the "wrong side of the road" statement is subjective.

[@heyshayla]

haha I know... we do drive on the "right" side... and you on the "left" ;)

[@hudsonquay]

To be fair the vast majority of the world drive on the right.

[@sharshey6035]

also, we don’t tip because minimum wage is $16.50 which is a much more liveable wage compared to the us!

[@heyshayla]

No kidding! So much better!

[@jo2lovid]

$16.50 NZ is NOT the same as $16.50 US. NZ's costs / pricing is pretty steep compared to other countries.

[@loooseunit]

Our costs are way higher here , you gotta keep in perspective .

[@leg0land100]

Someone always has to whine^ you two

[@Tokiohotel192]

It's called having at least two brain cells. The prices of food etc compared to the minimum wage are not balanced at all, they're not whining they're speaking the truth.

[@i_think]

You don't say proper or heaps? And you don't have off switches for power outlets? America is weird

[@heyshayla]

Hahaha it's true its different!

[@Ghost_Sparrow7909]

Yea it seems so dangerous, like what if a kid got at it?

[@rekabushnell9631]

i didn’t even know that things like that weren’t international

[@i_think]

Emma Sutton Ikr?

[@Lilypad5493]

there plug sockets are different to .

[@bushyman477]

But there is Orions Belt haha, Orion is one of the few constellations I can recognise haha

[@sammyanthajane]

Bushy Raps same!

[@dooMt9]

yeah its just upside down and easier to see in winter

[@NoProb4Rob]

Probably whenever they looked for Orion it hadn't risen yet. My favourite is Scorpius.

[@rebeccahockley1584]

In Wellington we have unlimited WiFi at cafes and other public places

[@deskelly9313]

I get the impression you've only recently become aware of anything outside the US

[@heyshayla]

haha NZ was only my 25th country

[@deskelly9313]

Touché :-)

[@Albatrosspro1]

Travel/reaction vids do well on YT because people like to see comparisons, and showing surprise over things makes for good emotional response on camera. It doesn't mean that you live in a bubble. This vid was really nicely done.

[@fobsters1]

Just been recommended to me this video..in 2020...🤪🤪🤪...Des, she's been all over the place mate...you been on lockdown or what?...🤣🤣🤣...all goods bro

[@Mynewvids1]

PS not the “wrong” side of the road just the other side of the road

[@heyshayla]

You’re 100% right!!

[@rahowherox1177]

And usa also used to drive on the left till rothschild and co forced a switch.

[@nnightmareg]

Stevee_CDN agree

[@mate6079]

american thinks anything different form america is called wrong.

[@gcewing]

It's quite simple. The right side is the wrong side, and the left side is the right side.

[@aaroncampbell113]

No snakes either!

[@TipeneThorner]

Kiwi here, we do have Orions Belt, you just think we have more stars as we have less light pollution

[@kateneave6881]

In NZ kmart is like your target haha

This is true!

[@briannaseaton-payne8368]

mor like the warehouse lmao

[@mactaggart7854]

Same chain... Coles myer

[@T1M083]

the New Zealand sand fly is easy to ignore just get drunk then they ultimately get drunk with you. lol

[@heyshayla]

hahahahah! This is amazing

[@gcewing]

The solution to sandflies is Dimp.

[@JillH419]

Greg Ewing or Goodbye Sandfly, better than Dimp.

[@madeinaotearoanz]

Ok a little overkill on the sweet as bro 😂 its a little more chilled than how half of them were saying it!

[@heyshayla]

100% 😂😂😂🙌

[@timfahey5967]

I agree, our slang is different but most people don't use it as much and as stereotypically as stuff like this leads you to believe

[@hemipaterson2486]

We so do use it as much as the stereotype.

[@madeinaotearoanz]

Hēmi Paterson Possibly in day to day life, my point is that it sounded a little scripted & over-kill with the sweet as 😂

[@hemipaterson2486]

All good Ave, I get ya. Come to think of it, I'm surprised "All good" didn't get a mention.

[@craycrayjess9560]

You guys don’t say “proper” and “heaps”? I thought like everybody said it

[@brianisme6498]

craycray jess ikr, I’ve heard Americans say things like this though. They say it on TV all the time, I’ve even visited the US they still used it. How has this woman not come across any of these words

[@zarabird3185]

I'm from NZ and I wear shoes everywhere coz wearing bare feet is just gross. But yeah, a lot of people will wear no shoes out haha. Also, the majority of people say sweet as without the bro part most of the time. I got told once we say "aye" a lot lol.

[@heyshayla]

hahah I loved the no shoes, Yeah the bro part was mostly in Auckland I found!

[@Chelemhaz]

I'm from nz and where shoes everywhere lol. Agree Hardly hear people add bro to sweet as. I say aye a lot mainly when asking a question like 'this goes here aye'

[@lament_rue]

If you're meant to wear shoes, you would be born with them.

[@Penelope_Pixie]

Zara Bird it’s good for your feet to bare foot it occasionally

[@sonnyday6830]

lol...I never wear shoes...anywhere

[@kathrynstorey5138]

see in new Zealand we are pretty chill and don't like confrontation in shops so you have to go and stand at the front desk or help desk

[@heyshayla]

Ooooooh that’s funny! Everyone was soooo nice!!

[@lsmeteor4652]

It sounds like the US are one of the last country to adopt the paywave thing or tap to pay. We’ve had it in Canada for a while. It’s been so long that I signed anything that If I had to scribble my signature, it probably would hardly resemble anything like the one on my card.

[@elyzalex2271]

Where I work, Amex cards didn’t work on our payWave machine so they couldn’t even if they wanted to

[@normalmighty]

The idea of chips being "new" in America blows my mind. I'm 21 and if I was alive when people didn't use chips everywhere, I was too young to remember it.

[@michaelmckeay8203]

lsmeteor I all ways disable it on my cards here in NZ and I dont get the response she got XD

[@chloesimpson2722]

I live in New Zealand🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

[@JamieB-E92]

Yep, I'm from NZ and have been using eftpos since my early teens. Only reason I used cash before then was because you had to be 14 to get a visa/debit card from the bank. Idk if that's still the deal now. I don't even carry cash anymore except for my coin stash in the car for parking meters. I must say, it is a lot easier and faster using eftpos rather than having to count out notes or fish around for that elusive 50c coin somewhere in your pocket while holding up the line at the checkout. Even using the chip and having to enter the pin number is starting to feel weird and 'oldschool' now with paywave and smartpay on our phones

[@RVREVO]

1. We have Headhunters and the Mongrel Mob. Also the Killerbeez. Yes, no natural predators. 2. Shoes? Everywhere I go ppl wear shoes, or jandals... you must have been on the beach or in a reserve park. 3. Avoid wifi 4. Sweet as bro 5. Sandflies are evil mutated fruitflies which used the gulfstream to get here from Australia 6. Those switches are handy 7. Watch the sink when you brush your teeth 8. The house of w... go to Bunnings 9. Wait until you go to Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Australia, Japan... all drive on the left. 10. Paywave has a limit

[@FullyGored]

Haha I had a good laff at number 1. Sandflies dont like the sun, as long as you are not in shaded wettish areas you should be fine!

[@fobsters1]

Number 1....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...true bro

[@bingo1672]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 number 1, why you gotta do the cuzzies like that for aye! crack up

[@6DRAMAQUEEN9]

I am from N.Z. and many kiwis will wear jandals. Seeing people with 'no shoes' is subjective. I was also looking for a brown brother or sister as New Zealand is also culturally diverse...

[@denisegibson819]

I have been in New Zealand for 5 years and I am the only one in our family that does not get bitten by sand flies and I love going barefoot in summer.

[@heyshayla]

Omg I loved being barefoot there! And you’re sooooo lucky to not get bit by sand flies!

[@soupwithchipschips]

Living in new zealand i reckon we treat free wifi anywhere as like a blessing

[@heyshayla]

This is true haha

[@funnycommentah9984]

You missed out the "yeah, nah" which means no and the "nah, yeah" which means yes

[@ECHASE100]

nah yeah they did to lol

[@DanicaChristin]

I love New Zealand, can't wait to go back and see the South Island 💙😃

[@heyshayla]

it's so amazing!!!

[@tanepukenga1421]

When ya do check out the Waitomo caves and Eternal Flame. Second one is a but hard to find but you can google it or ask at Ngai Tahu Marae

[@stickdeath1980]

South Island is just amazing been lving here for years best place ever!!

[@TheEndIsTheStart]

North island is no where near as good as the south( this is coming from someone who lives in the north island)- as a tourist destination, the south just has more to offer

[@samuelchristie9448]

It is not that great here its so cold... but its hot in summer so thats good, btw sand flys are little bastards, always get me when I go fishing XD. I suggest going to Wanaka in summer, make sure you visit the albert town river its amazing... because NO sandflies.

[@mitchellsimi5373]

You can use the local libraries to access the internet free!!! there are time limits but you have the option of extending it, but you must have a library card.... I got mine free years ago ..not sure if it's free now ;-)

[@mitchellsimi5373]

Oh I forgot you can use your USB memory stick to get print-outs,I use it to get photocopies as buying ink for my printer is too expensive..your library card can store credits because it cost twenty cents for A4 per Photo copy, (I have about three dollars balance there are no limits) . ..If you are not sure how to use the services ask the librarian ..they are more than happy to help....don't forget to thank them!!! ;-)

[@heyshayla]

We went to a ton of libraries and even showered at a few places!

[@jarsky]

As a Kiwi, I can confirm I do not wear public shoes. P.S for the power switch thing....thats not a NZ thing, its a "Most of the World" thing....because most of the world is on 220-240V. Its a safety feature that stops arcing when you plug/unplug things. If you plug things in with the switch on, often you'll see a flash.

[@heyshayla]

Thank you!! It's not across the whole country but I LOVED how many people I saw barefoot! I think the switch IS a great idea!

[@isaakvandaalen3899]

Didn't flick the switch on the outlet and now you have no charge? *Oceanians Here Like* A Rookie Mistake.

[@Tee.NZ.07]

No love for Uncle Bills?

[@Tach_H]

Haha as a New Zealander, I enjoyed watching this! Pretty accurate I must say! By the way, some resturants may ask for a tip when you pay(comes up on the Eftpos machine) but of course you have the choice, which I LOVE! You dont feel obligated. Or sometimes you'll find a tip jar at a bar or cafe (again freedom to do as you please). Also 'no worries' is another common saying. And there are plenlty of free limitless wifi cafes and awesome spots in Auckland! You just got to know where to go. But maybe only it the cities and bigger towns.

[@heyshayla]

Yes you’re right! In big cities it was so much easier! Also “no worries” is totally right too!! I’m glad you liked it!

[@snowsansa1527]

There is no tipping at all. The jars that you mostly see on the check out counter is for the CHARITIES, charities for cancer or humanitarian, etc., not tip for the employees

[@Tach_H]

Haha okay. I guess if it's stated on the jar that it's for a charity? But there are tip jars at some of my locals bars and cafes in Ponsony, Auckland ;) (otherwise I would not of metioned it). And there are many resturants there that may ask for a tip when you pay by card.

[@zarabird3185]

Natacha is right, there are a lot of cafes in Auckland that have tip jars. Also some restaurants eftpos machines (mainly in the City) do ask if you'd like to tip too - but totally at your own discretion.

[@kiwihib]

Natacha Bay of Islands was the worst a bar there rang a bell every time someone put money into the jar trying to same others into it as well so not Kiwi.

[@two-toneblue7455]

1:10 Sadly, this is a mistaken impression. According to OECD crime stats, NZ ranks #1 for vehicle theft, #2 for burglary, #3 for rape and we're about mid-table for robbery and homicide. These are 2014 figures but I have no reason to think there's been any significant change, especially bearing in mind the government are presently crowing about a reduction in the prison population. This means the bastards are walking the streets. NZ is *not* a safe international destination... there are far too many unhung cunts in circulation... and don't go thinking it is. Be cautious to the point of paranoia (just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're *not* out to get you) and if it feels 'hinky', it probably is. If you insist on coming here, bear this shit in mind and trust your instincts.

[@anniemalqueendom]

Kmart is more like NZ's Target! Nothin like the American Kmart - the Australasian Kmart is LEGIT!!!

[@maddywhitehead1826]

Im from Wellington NZ, we wear shoes 😂 Do you seriously not have Paywave!? And theres bug spray for misquitoes who did you even talk too?

[@Zerububble]

They've started to, but the "insert card"Chip card units are the most common (Even then - only in the last 5 yrs or so). There are a tonne of (Smaller) vendors that still use the magnetic stripe machines. Back in '97-'99 a LOT of small vendors didn't have card capabilities - even Maccas, in NZ pretty much everywhere had EFTPOS by then.

[@taylorcliff6609]

i never really understood the point of the chip cause you still have to swipe the card anyway ? or am i just stupid?

[@FullyGored]

@@taylorcliff6609 The machine reads the chip, you stick the card into the machine. No chip you have to swipe it!

[@ChristineHoll]

Small towns, South Island, and sometimes near beaches but in Auckland I think we're too obsessed with jandals for those kids of shenanigans. I lived in Christchurch from the ages of 9 till 13, I'm pretty sure my brother didn't wear shoes the entire time we were there!

Hey, loved the vid but I though I should clear up some things as a kiwi. Target in New Zealand is a hardware store and if you go to the bigger city’s like Auckland and Wellington you have I’ll find there are a lot more people wearing shoes. But awesome vid and I’m glad you liked your visit !!

[@heyshayla]

TOtally! We were in a lot of rural areas and thats where a lot of people didn't wear shoes

[@ursulanoelle]

Stars... yea we do have the big dipper and orions belt. They're just upside down

[@jamesblack5972]

To be fair they can be seen more during the summer months.

[@Keep_Crying_Son]

Also we refer to Orion as the Pot.

[@mossie1954]

Who says it's the wrong side of the road?.....For NZ it is the correct side?

[@colpatt6729]

Just gonna correct you but we do have the dipper, southern cross and orions belt.

[@robharris5467]

'Sweet as' is a contracted form of 'as sweet as a nut' which has been in Kiwi English forever.

[@natasharay5757]

I'm from NZ, and For the stars there are actually the big dipper and orions belt, its just upside down for half and year and the right side for the rest of the year, and I can see orion really clearly from my house

[@heyshayla]

yeah it's totally there I messed this up! haah

[@natasharay5757]

Living On A One Way lol, its ok

[@interestedinstuff]

The paywave thing is totally everywhere here in Australia. When I was in the States, they always got me to sign, but they'd already given me my card back. They never looked to see if the signature matched, so I started signing 'Chicken'. Here in Australia, if they need a signature, they'll hold your card till you've signed, then compare it. Perhaps that's why everything we do here now is paywave up to $100 then pin as well for anything over. Love the vid by the way.

[@heyshayla]

Haha that’s true, I didn’t even have a signature on my card until they made me in New Zealand haha or I’ll right “see id” so they can compare the card to my id!

[@everythingshiny]

Yeah they always made me sign in America too but never even looked at my signature. When my American friend came over she had to sign the back of her card so they could compare it. In NZ, paywave is up to $80 and then you need a pin. :)

[@elainfei5163]

What a legend haha

[@iatsd]

America has only in the last year or so moved onto chip cards, but even then they've screwed the security of them by not requiring PINs with the chip. The entire retail banking and payment system in the US is at least a decade behind the rest of the world.

[@user-kx5se6ee6x]

Wow, as a person who lives in NZ I was shook when you said that the outlet was different because it had a switch?? Because I thought ALL countries had a switch?? Well, I guess for someone who lived in NZ for their whole life would find these things normal. Also, If a kiwi (what people who live in NZ are called) goes to the U.S would find ALOT of things different.

[@bremCZ]

Water doesn't rotate down a drain depending on the hemisphere.

[@mckenziedownes3078]

You didn't link the van. How do I get a van now? I'm stuck here for the rest of my life and I need a van.

[@DalDhaliwalOfficial]

Great video! I love your channel! I want to visit New Zealand now! 😊

[@heyshayla]

Thank you so much!! It was such a cool place!

[@xmanroberson2336]

Living On A One Way I love New Zealand cause i live in that country it's amazing 😱😄

[@fake_chanel_]

Don't bother it's shit

[@fake_chanel_]

Karly Warly actually a kiwi

[@xyzsing4038]

Living On A One Way dont let the rapst indians in. Once in they never leave.

[@lucyrulez1000]

Target in NZ is a furniture store 😂

[@heyshayla]

We saw that!!

[@goodnightkiwi]

I’m a kiwi and you had me laughing like crazy all the way through your video. Yes we are a little bit different here, but hey... it’s all “sweet as bro” right? You definitely should have gone bare feet walking - it’s awesome freedom. Maybe next time you’re here!?! Just wondering if you went to see the All Blacks play rugby without shoulder pads and no protective gear? We breed them tough here!

[@heyshayla]

I’m so glad you find it funny!! Some people got a little defensive and nz was my favorite place I’ve ever been! We didn’t get to go to an all blacks game but we did go to a rugby game in Christchurch!!

[@ScottMoyse]

You totally reminded me about a bunch of things that I thought were weird, but I loved about NZ when I first moved here. Cool video! However, the ‘Big dipper’ & Orion’s Belt are both in our sky, they’re the opposite way around to what you are used to in the northern hemisphere. The Big Dipper might only be visible at certain times of the year, I can’t remember exactly, but I look at Orion all the time.

[@heyshayla]

🙌🙌🙌

[@moeyday]

Awesome video, totally agree! I had made a similar video and said no wifi and that kiwis don't always wear shoes in public so I'm glad you found that surprising as well! Keep up the great work!

[@brookewebster71]

A good place that is like target in New Zealand is Kmart.

[@elchapo1268]

The warehouse where everybody gets a bargain

[@AnnaStarseedOracle]

There is Orion in the southern sky, I don't know how you missed it, it is so prominent.

[@heyshayla]

Probably because there are a million bajillion stars in nz sky 😍😍😍

[@del6921]

Is the wifi in the cafe really limited?

[@watersdive]

I luv yur guys videos and have been viewing them on your travells down under to New Zealand and now abroad great job guys lol!!

[@heyshayla]

Thank you Gary!!

[@saifali-wy4cq]

Should it be better to study in new Zealand 🙂

[@mckyv731]

yes, come to southern institute of technology in Invercargill! It's close to Queenstown, Fiordland, Catlins, and stewart island

[@thepassionstation449]

Wait a minute..... America doesn't have the stitch for their power outlets?????

[@jakicantdj9979]

Ok but I’m actually shocked at the fact that Proper and heaps aren’t used all around the world. They are such common words.

[@heyshayla]

I know!! It make so much sense to use them!

[@rahowherox1177]

They are. Only usa "english speakers" do not use them.

[@annahenderson3201]

Great video :) Thanks for the positive, refreshing take. Glad you enjoyed your time here in Aotearoa.

[@joliehamon4053]

I was coming here to see what I could correct but you actually made me laugh and I found nothing offensive, good job XD

[@heyshayla]

🙌🙌🙌🙌 yaaas!!! Thank you!

[@teata646]

btw we call the wherehouse the warewhare

[@chillbraah684]

id love to hear her pronounce that lol warefar-e?

[@teata646]

say whare and ware + roll your r's lol

[@ArmanM2]

not everyone :P

[@teata646]

lol

[@gcewing]

Not everyone pronounces "wh" as "f" -- that seems to be a North Island thing.

[@oliviatrass6935]

I'm a Kiwi and have lived in NZ my whole life. I've been to the US and half this stuff I didn't even notice was different (the toilet flushing system over there is wild, I hate it). Plug switches, payment, predators had never crossed my mind. Also, I didn't realise americans don't say 'proper'!

[@SyntaxErrorDevMusic]

hmm, have you gone to Whangarei in the north island?

[@heyshayla]

We didn't!

[@SyntaxErrorDevMusic]

oh :( because i live there

[@anetaturia4492]

where about did you visit???

[@heyshayla]

EVERYWHERE We had a van there for 2 months! : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKG8ZKiOfL2Uh5Y

[@elchapo1268]

I never got bit bye sandfly's I'm from nz and iv been here all my life

[@mckyv731]

maybe you've never been to fiordland though? sandflies are only in particular spots in nz. In places like west arm lake manapouri its almost impossible to breathe as there's so many!

[@Pete-z6e]

just a random person , mozzies, yanks.

[@Katieeee18]

[@erinjulian175]

[@loubeneteau9706]
