10 Reasons New Zealand Is The Greatest Country In The World

[@kiwicarkid-nz3640]

Your Te Reo Māori pronunciation is genuinely impressive considering you come from England, you pronounce Māori words better than most kiwi’s I know!

[@itscurlsbaby]

Kia ora mate that's so nice of you to say that! I've got a long way to go but can't stress how much it means to hear that. Have a great weekend

Te Reo Māori is not important to most Kiwis as its not their heritage, can you speak Dutch my heritage?. None of this really matter as we are all human beings, NZ was never a "country" before Europeans it was various lands occupied by often waring Maori tribes. Hell even the Treaty of Waitangi was not actually signed by all tribes, at some point we need to celebrate the past but move on.

[@kiwicarkid-nz3640]

@@Battleneter can definitely agree, but it’s still important to recognise our history.

[@melaniestapp4627]

It is a genuine pleasure to hear someone talking about what is great about Aotearoa (New Zealand). Thank you from the very center of my very Kiwi heart.

[@itscurlsbaby]

Reading this comment meant my Saturday morning has started off with a smile. Thank you for saying this Melanie! More to come for definite.

[@Battleneter]

As a Kiwi born in Nelson I prefer to use the internationally recognised name "New Zealand," as I have a Dutch father I guess I still prefer "New Zealand". go figure!. How do we say New Zealand in English?

[@emeraldkena701]

Thank you so much for talking about our beautiful country I'm a Kiwi Maori and I live in Brisbane Queensland Australia it was so great to see your post here talking about our beautiful New Zealand Aotearoa. Everything you have said is so true and I miss home very Much I miss those fish and chips going to our beaches miss my family too but most of all I enjoy the loving carefree I way we live and enjoy living here in Brisbane is not the same. Although we do keep to our own Family group's by doing our Kapa Haka singing with group's that are interested in joining with us. Like fishing and Sports Rugby Netball NZRL we also now have Kiwi teachers here teaching so thats a bonus . We as Kiwi have certainly move on in life and home NZ i

[@kylecameron9772]

I'm a Kiwi. Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully we can hold onto our culture for a little while yet. I think our friendliness and our willingness to see the humanity in everyone is one of our strongest suits. I'm reminded of a story where a wife in a small family talked about how they cried when they got to New Zealand because when the customs official asked them how long they intended to stay in NZ for. And the wife said nervously that they were actually emigrating to country. The customs official smiled up at them and said "Oh! Welcome home." I think about that and how it must give so many nervous expats so much hope that they're going to be ok here, once they blend into our way of life and see how we operate.

[@jennifershakira409]

Kyle, I absolutely agree with you. I lived in Auckland for about 22 years before moving to Australia 2 years ago. OMG, I can't tell you how much I miss NZ, I miss kiwi food, my kiwi mates, my kiwi neighborhood & I miss breathtaking stunning views, I miss everything 😢😢 Here, in OZ, people are quite standoffish, they keep it to themselves, here neighborhood is like graveyard, nobody talks to one another where as in NZ, even a stranger smiles at you & you can just strike up a conversation with a stranger & you feel like you know them for very long time. I miss it so much. 😢😢

[@Theleastamazing]

As a NZ person i totally agree.

[@christiankaran7345]

Whenever I go back home to Europe with my family they can never understand how I can stay so cool under pressure when I was anxiety riddled before. NZ has calmed me so much and gave me a better meaning of life.

Another great thing is that no matter what part you live in, most things are just a drive away. Stunning beaches, rivers, city’s, mountains to tramp or ski on, vast farmland, huge malls. And alot of other things so whatever you like to do is just a drive away. Love my country ❤ 🇳🇿

[@Quzxpon]

Yeahh New Zealand! Imma kiwi, and love you gassing us up like this haha 😄 Fish and chips are a go to all year round, a few places are below the standard, but we definitely have a standard. The "she'll be right mate" attitude, nothing is that big of an issue for you to pull ya hair out over, I mean, we still have a few Karen's here and there but mostly we're laid back people, when things get tricky we can always fall back on our ingenuity. Definitely is a beautiful country. I love living in Tauranga and get beautiful views of the beach and the port from up in the hills. Gorgeous place. Kiwi ingenuity, true, we can at to do anything with almost anything else. If it can be fixed with duct tape then it ain't broke. And if ya neighbour or someone needs a hand you lend it to em, true we're all pretty keen to just get stuck in. It's kind of a point of pride that we have as to what skills or connections we have that we can offer someone. And the roads are pretty cool, i love driving through Paeroa its one of those lovely little towns that's world famous in New Zealand since ages ago. The most pollution we get is a cow drops a dump in the creek, its genuinely an issue sometimes, and there's a general demonisation of anyone who litters. Having Christmas in summer is a thing we do really make our own, it's not an uncommon tradition to go to the beach and get some fish and chips for Christmas. The Coca-Cola santa wears jandals / flip flops and a bathing suit on all the Coca-Cola marketing adds in summer. Gotta try a peanut slab by whittakers, a classic kiwi snak, it certainly is quality chocolate. Te Reo or The language in English. Te Reo and the whole Maori culture is truly a gem in New Zealand. Its a great shame what the colonisation effort did to the Maori people and all the flow on effects since then. The young New Zealand Europeans are really waking up to the injustice of the past and recognising the value of the Maori people and their culture. Just my 2 cents on each of your points bro. Glad you're enjoying you time in New Zealand, we're happy to have ya. It's a bit of an essay but I'm just excited whenever i see New Zealand out here on the Internet

[@Hellothere-yz5bn]

Wow mate, couldn't tell these were your first videos at all, you're a natural! I just spent 7 months travelling around the North Island, here were the most memorable fish and chips in case you end up in these towns: Ngawi, not too far from Wellington but a bit off the beaten track, had a caravan called the Captain's Table. Very unique part of NZ, amazing fish and chips! The Wharf Cafe in Thames was sensational, and as a bonus has battered mussels scallops and oysters.. unbelievable. Special mention, though these aren't fish and chips, to the Hook Inn fish and chips shop in Kamo, north of Whangarei, which along with good fish and chips has a brilliant mussel fritter burger; Cafe 35 in Tokomaru Bay, East Coast with the incredible Paua Pie (check before you go as to whether they'll be open that day!); and the Wellington waterfront stall Food for the People that serves a mind blowing oyster fritter in bread. Those were the most memorable seafood meals I had. Enjoy 😂

[@itscurlsbaby]

That's such a lovely thing to say, thanks a lot mate I genuinely appreciate that! Thank you for those recommendations, I can tell you now I've had the exact oyster fritter in bread you're referring to and I think your use of the term mind blowing is exactly correct. The concept of a Paua Pie sounds absolutely superb, I will be making sure I get that down me at some point! Your 7 months must've been amazing, particularly around the far north which is somewhere I'm desperate to see! Cheers mate

I watched your previous video & came back for more. Kiwi's love hearing people talk New Zealand (Aotearoa) up. Thank you. I love that Maori is now being incorporated into our lifestyle as is rightly should. I originally came from the South Island & miss the scenery down there, so have to make trips back there when I can. On pollution, one of the things that is helping in Auckland is later model cars are cleaning running & we have a very low pollution index. We are now experiencing congestion, but this is slowly being planned for. There are more cyclists out there now, and don't forget dog walkers. I am excited that we have created a very family oriented culture, that loves overseas cultures. The church I am in has got many Filipinos, South Americans, Pacific Islanders, Europeans, Africans and any more. This is so great for learning more about other cultures & understanding how they think. We now have a fantastic array of cuisines (like walking along a street smorgasbord), and agreed the fish & chips are to die for. The Seafood Collective in Mt Eden is where I go & is rated the best. Thank you for reminding us just how lucky & blessed we are in this very green country. Beaches, bays, mountains & scenic drives are so close. The scenic walks in the Waitakere Ranges are amazing for bird life & waterfalls. Even the highways are interesting. Whittaker's Bundaberg Ginger-Caramel Chocolate is one of the best treats I have ever tasted & I hope they bring it back. This was a collaboration with Bundaberg Brewing in Australia.

Genuinely appreciate you taking the time out to comment mate, that's honestly given me such a boost. Hugely, hugely grateful. Arohanui ❤

So good to hear the positives. Sometimes we forget the good things. And as for the "never stress", you will soon learn the language like sweet as, no worries, mint as (means something that should have gone on the bin ages ago but nah, mint as! 🤣)

I have often had Swiss guests who froth over Whittaker's chocolate, especially the Creamy Milk chocolate. It IS the best chocolate in the world.

When I was growing up back in the 1960s, I lived in Auckland and my parents would take me and my brothers and sister to One Tree Hill. We would take pieces of cardboard there and slide down hills.
