4 Things Americans Learn About New Zealand Right Away

Americans learn these 4 things about New Zealand pretty quickly.
Read the whole article about my 3-week trip to New Zealand here:
caelanhuntress.com/2017/06/12...

[@garthrogers2269]

Those aren't politicians. They are famous New Zealanders.

[@tuabro7924]

Garth Rogers the queen isn't from New Zealand though?

[@maegan1580]

Yeah

[@frostyguy1989]

No she isn't from New Zealand. But she's still the Queen of New Zealand, on top of her role as Queen of England and Scotland.

[@ohmon]

Tua Bro We have the Queen on our note because New Zealand is under the British Commonwealth therefore the queen is on our $20 note

[@mr2atara]

Tua Bro Lucky you didn't mention Kate Sheppard isn't from New Zealand too.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

I should point out that the face on the five dollar note isn't a politician but is Sir Edmund Hillary who was the first person to successfully climb Mt. Everest.

[@TheHayniko]

Nicholas Maude Agreed

[@hannahhainsworth7720]

Nor is Rutherford...

[@islacat2222]

Yup

[@noahwineti6169]

he was first =.

[@danflerovium359]

Didn't he also use older money there too?

[@redeyepoppet]

Ah, Sir Edmund Hillary, my favourite politician.

[@elizabethnahu3422]

Lol I like it too. Makes me happy they enjoying our country lol

[@camerongiles4186]

Not all are politicians, none of them are, we got a mountain climber, a woman’s right advocate, the queen a doctor and a chemist.

[@Andrew_Yeo]

The 50 is Sir Āpirana Turupa Ngata who was New Zealand first Maori politician.

[@allykatblue]

andrew yeo First Māori to graduate uni too, he was a lawyer

[@prehistoricangrybird5629]

2:05 His earlier mention of how chill birds are is confirmed when a sparrow flies over his head indoors.

[@kjcook5840]

I've just watched that part like 5 times, trying to work out ff it's a bird, or if a moth flew off his coffee cup!

[@riccardoloader9569]

Hahahahaha

[@gracefool]

good spotting, yes it's a sparrow

[@vickijo2343]

Only if you are close to their breeding nests....

[@jameslong3375]

space cowboy I hate those retarded birds

[@DiscoFang]

The first thing most tourists learn is don't bring any fresh fruit in with you. Being an isolated island has meant not only being relatively bird-predator free but also being able to control bugs & diseases that could affect crops & wildlife. And the price of the lesson is an instant several hundred dollar fine at the border check!

[@helenhibberd-brown7971]

You must learn about pies, generally savoury, mince meat, steak and cheese, a thing of beauty.

[@frostyguy1989]

$5 note: Depicts Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to climb to the top of Mt. Everest, the world's tallest mountain. He also took part in other mountaineering and Antarctic expeditions, and was a major patron of the Sherpa people of Nepal. $10 note: Depicts Kate Sheppard, a Scottish immigrant who was one of the leaders of New Zealand's suffragette movement. She was instrumental in gaining women the right to vote in 1893, meaning NZ was the first self-governing country in the world to do so. $20 note: Depicts Elizabeth II, the Queen of New Zealand. Yes, she is the Queen of England too. And of Scotland. And Australia. And several other countries still part of the Commonwealth. I imagine if she were to die, she would be replaced with the head of the new monarch. $50 note: Depicts Sir Apirana Ngata, a prominent Maori leader and politician during the 20th Century. He came up with a clever plan to help the Maori tribes consolidate and safeguard what lands they had left, to prevent them being sold off by the government and opportunistic settlers. He effectively ended the continuous loss of indigenous land that had gone on for over a century. $100 note: Depicts Sir Ernest Rutherford, our greatest scientific mind, and the man who first split the atom. He's often called the father of nuclear physics since he discovered the concepts of radioactive half-life, alpha and beta radiation, and discovered and named the proton. He even has an element (Rutherfordium) named after him.

[@newdawn8477]

Kate was born in Liverpool, England

[@Thehonestperson]

"On every side it's got a politician and on the other side it's got a bird." They're famous people - not politicians (one of them's the queen). The birds are some of the native bird species to NZ. "The birds aren't really scared of you." Keas steal the rubber from window wipers, so i mean if that counts as them not being scared of people, then okay.

[@bradattack8951]

Bruh, stop pointing out all of his little mistakes and making him look like he's stupid from only being in Nz a short amount of time he hasn't lived here his whole life like you. Stop acting like a politician and tell him what was good about the video instead of bringing hate like every teenager like yourself.

[@Thehonestperson]

Brad Attack “pointing out every little thing”. Two things buddy. Only two. And it actually helps to knows & be corrected on little facts like that. And why are you having a go at me and not everyone else who has said the same?

[@ftw7026]

Brad Attack Sorry but if you're gonna list facts about something you might wanna do research before opening your mouth. He got pretty much everything wrong

[@rogerinataylor2398]

I’ve never seen a foreigner so excited about electrical plugs! NZ where you at?

[@antz5731]

😂🤣😂🤣 too funny ✌

[@StrictlyChosen]

coffee will always be a memorable thing for me in new zealand. first time i've ever started drinking coffee and they have many cool coffee shops - flat white for the win

[@Z4Zander]

One of the main reasons Starbucks never really took off over here.Can get better coffee at a service station.

[@boulshyte8932]

the $10 was the best colour and u didnt have it :(

[@picinana6871]

and on the flip side it has magic mushies pictured on it..

[@gaminglittleshit9198]

You forgot Kate!!!

[@caneanukunuku3907]

yeah yeah blah blah welcome to NZ anyways. home of rugby champions. GO THE HURRICANES!!!! 😆

[@astroflight6571]

The $5 is Sir Edmund Hillary, not a politician, he climbed Everest. We don't go for the over the top fancy coffees here with 15 different ingredients that take half a minute to order. Enjoy your stay, and if you drive please be careful. I have nearly been wiped out twice on the road by a foreign tourist lining up for a head-on.

[@zantee_9517]

Mauri Ora.. go the CHIEFS!!! Lol who gives a damn if you're not prepared for the opposites on the road or within wall plugs... gees, go check out a better travel booking agency ;)

[@londonbeatz]

You have some of the old money, but glad you like our money:)

[@CaelanHuntress]

Really? These are the same bills I've gotten as change over the past few daysI've been here.

[@londonbeatz]

Its strange that you have the old ones, but its just only happened a few months ago, so the old notes are still around, when you see a new note you will know :)

[@CaelanHuntress]

Ok, I'll keep an eye out for the new ones. Thanks!

[@bobbobskin]

technically it's the queen of New Zealand. She's not the Queen of England in NZ

[@Maiier]

Only your $5 and $20 are the old ones, but that's okay cause we still use them.

[@sheismiranda]

When you showed us the electrical sockets all I wanted to do was switch them off!

[@Dovant32]

I’m just a proud New Zealander

[@nicoler6227]

"en-zeee" hooo boy I cringed

[@banjopete]

Nicole R , that’s what happens when you learn your alphabet off SESAME STREET!

[@sirsillybilly]

The Polymer bank notes are an Australian CSIRO invention. Many countries now use it as it is more durable. They need to pay royalties to Australia to use this technology. Driving on the left is traditional going back to the day of horseback as soldiers used their right arm to attack passing on the left. It got corrupted to the right side during Horse and buggy times as it was easier for the driver being on the right and using the right curb to a-line the buggy. While in England they had the canal system from the industrial revolution with small roads next to it so they didn’t change like the Europeans. Hence why the colonies and England drive on the left.

[@SirKGuido]

Morgan Hayward Flat white is Aussie to

[@sirsillybilly]

Kris Hodge If you look up Aussie inventions we have one of the highest rates of inventions per capita similar to America. Wifi Black Box Heart pace maker Bionic ear Fridge Penicillin .:::: List goes on and on .. we used to be called the clever country now everyone wants to move here they like to call us convicts to elevate their own self and denigrate us in to submission.

[@tastycookiechip]

Morgan Hayward I agree. It's funny how people want to come here and use everything but they shit on the people any chance they get.

[@gl3nnium]

How is this relevant to a video about NZ. I don't see a connection.

[@drewmis1]

Morgan Hayward you forgot underarm bowling

[@feejan]

Yup coffee is so.much better here. And in Wellington there are more cafes per capita than NYC!

[@banjopete]

feejan , don’t tell them that half of them can’t make a good one though.

[@jnagtube]

Ahh the flat white, just don't bring up who created it.. Australia and New Zealand like to fight over these things haha.

[@sinclap2]

I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking don't say, "Pavlova" becuase then it would be on! haha

[@jnagtube]

haha, the original.

[@banjopete]

Jeri Brown , espresso, not drip.

[@monicawells5402]

Every coffee shop does lattes and short blacks etc. The big difference is the overall quality of coffee in NZ is way better than the States. Its probably because of the Starbucks influence but coffee generally sucks in the US. Given the fact that Americans drink an enormous amount of it its amazing how they put up with such average coffee. Asia the same forget about it. France and the UK are average as well. Italy is fantastic as well as Australia.

[@wildturkey3776]

I would think America had good coffee because they get a lot of the beans from south America, Columbia.

[@monicawells5402]

@@wildturkey3776 Its what you do with them that counts.

[@thirtythree680]

Welcome bro. Hope it was a fun trip.

[@duncanreid1130]

NZ is said "En Zed" NOT "En Zee" and those are famous new Zealanders on the bank notes NOT scummy politicians.

[@tehflak9820]

Duncan Reid It makes me cringe when they say Zeek instead of zack

[@peterpaulo6081]

I hope your visit here was enjoyable and SAFE! Thank you for the video :)

[@drewmis1]

No matter where you are from, you are meant to walk on the left. It comes from feudal times when everybody learnt to fight right handed with a sword. If people walked on the right, their scabbards would bang into each others.

[@bremCZ]

drewmis1 No, in Europe you walk on the right. You stand on escalators in the metro to the right and you enter large doors on the right. In the Tokyo Metro you follow the arrows which could mean you are walking on either side.

[@deanwilliams4365]

Brem. Nope in europe you walk on the right because you were all subdued by napoleon and he said walk on the right so you peasants could not grab the gun from one of his grand armie dudes. the yanks drive on the right because there guns hang on the right, all the better to shoot you with. regardless of that of all your roads are still the same as the with of 3 roman horses asses.

[@bremCZ]

Dean Williams "Nope"? What were you saying that to exactly? I didn't suggest that Europe was always that way just that it's the way you are currently meant to walk. We all know about Napolean being the catalyst for the switch, however you assume to much. Where I come from we walk and drive on the left.

[@drewmis1]

Brem. Then Europes wrong.

[@bremCZ]

drewmis1 No it isn't.

[@kaimohe6411]

Hahaha yo wen he went to the "outlet" i'm like ... why are they not switched off ... 😂😂😂😂 not sure if anyone else gets the " wen yr finished using it, switch it off .. yr wasting power " 😏😏😏 ahh which reminds me need to go check if all the "outlets" are turned off ...... hahaha outlets ... dang its got me confused and forgetting what we call them now 😂😂😂 byeeeeee 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@halletaufatofua276]

Mary Langi in New Zealand we say plug instead of outlet

[@kaimohe6411]

??? ??? Hahaha churr ... yeh i know i live in nz, aukilani !!! Just he kept saying outlet and for sum reason my mind went blank wen i wanted to write plug but instead could only think of outlet hehehe plus i honestly doubted myself wen iz just bout to write plug and then was like noh is it blah blah blah. Hahaha just slow over here from time to time 😂😂😂😂 Thanx

[@halletaufatofua276]

Mary Langi lmao that happens to me all the time 😂😂 chur I live up north in whangarei

[@carlcushmanhybels8159]

He's speaking mostly to Americans, where those are "Outlets." "Plugs" are the other side.

[@chevy69R]

How the hell are you wasting power with the switch on but nothing plugged in?

[@stephenhodgson3506]

As the Queen of 'England' is the Head of State in New Zealand she is known as the Queen of New Zealand her official title is "Elizabeth the Second, By the Grace of God, Queen of New Zealand and Her Other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith". So while you are correct in saying she is the Queen of England on New Zealand money she is actually the Queen of New Zealand.

[@tacitdionysus3220]

Most countries in the Pacific have their cash minted in Australia, so the coin sizes and types of notes tend to reflect Australian practice. The power plugs are common to Australia and much of China. Coffee is also similar throughout. The USA tends to do cream in coffee, which you don't see in NZ or Oz. Common types of coffee are latte, cappuccino, mocha, flat white and flat black; and the coffee is miles (or kilometres) better than in most countries. You'll only see comparatively few Starbucks because the local competition is just so good.

[@Kurafeki]

Flat black? The fuck are you talking about?? It's a long black or short black (short being just coffee shot, long with added hot water). The flat refers to the foam on top, if there is no milk then there is no foam. And yes, you can get cream in your coffee in NZ.

[@tacitdionysus3220]

My bad; although upon Googling I found there is now such a thing. (I only do mocha or latte.)

[@tacitdionysus3220]

Costa Rica was the first, but using tyvek, which smeared in use and was discontinued. Modern polymer banknotes were first developed by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and The University of Melbourne. They were first issued as currency in Australia during 1988 (coinciding with Australia's bicentennial year). In 1996 Australia switched completely to polymer banknotes. Next you'll be telling us NZ invented lamingtons!!

[@tacitdionysus3220]

I am, I'm eating a lamington. Oppress an aboriginal?? How ironic is that!

[@tacitdionysus3220]

You like Winchester 94s and Lindsay Shepherd, so I guess you can be too bad. Love from aboriginal Australia.

[@99751333]

Haha.. the birds are so friendly they join your videos... Did you see that when you flicked the coffee cup ? So cool.

[@Skybar23]

just been to the USA. Its seems the US currency( despite how strong it is) is very outdated. But I guess thats what makes the US bill more recognisable globally. It never changes. The US still has the 1 dollar bills and the bill materials used for the notes does not feel durable and strong as other currencies. My US dollar bill was on the verge of ripping after a few drops of water on it And I find it shocking the quarter cent still existed. I mean we still have the 5cent coin but its easy to use it since our currency can be counted in 5s. Also another thing that surprised me is American drivers just dont use thier indicators. I wonder what the accident numbers are in the US per capita. But I loved my trip. NZ on the whole in comparable would be a US mid size city

[@tearikimana8098]

Just fyi NZ$5 - Sir Edmund Hillary, mountaineer NZ$10 - Kate Sheppard, suffragette NZ$20 - Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen NZ$50 - Apirana Ngata, Maori politician NZ$100 - Ernest Rutherford, physicist

[@charissecoal]

The window on NZ notes is a security feature as well. The windows make nz banknotes virtually impossible to replicate. Pretty neat

[@micheinnz]

The only politician on the NZ banknotes is Sir Āpirana Ngata on the $50. He was Minister of Māori Affairs from 1928-1934. The others are Sir Edmund Hillary (mountaineer and humanitarian) on the $5, Kate Sheppard (women's suffrage campaigner) on the $10, the Queen on the $20, and Sir Ernest Rutherford (physicist and first person to split the atom) on the $50.

[@derrynator]

Looks like you are about to board a jetstar flight from auckland. I recognise that carpet!

[@MovieMike1969]

The funny thing is that you said, we drive on the left and therefor, we walk on the left. But you'd be surprised how many people (including New Zealanders), who don't make the connection between driving on the left and walking on the left, people (even New Zealanders, who drive here) will walk to the right, through a door, on pavement etc...

[@jamesnoel2666]

The colourful plastic money used in NZ is an Australian development that has been exported around the world. You will also find that in Australia they use the same powerpoint and drive and walk on the left side. Another thing you will learn is that "Z" is pronounced "zed" not "zee".

[@kenmasmincrafttreehouse6817]

Oh you’re going to learn a *LOT* more!

[@Terminator4000]

Im glad you are enjoying New Zealand 👍😁

[@kstringer24]

1:27 Note, power outlets provide 240 volts, not 110 volts.

[@charmecharme876]

Good information

[@gl3nnium]

The Queen and Sir Edmund Hillary aren't politicians. Neither are Earnest Rutherford and Kate Shepard. Nice video though man.

[@nelsy1790]

Not sure how long you’re here for or when you leave, but I hope you enjoy your stay :)

[@mpwheatley]

Elizabeth II is not the Queen of England in New Zealand (she is not even called that in the UK), she is the Queen of New Zealand. She is also the Queen of Canada, Queen of Australia etc - all of these countries are monarchies. They share the same person as head of state and she is independently Queen of all of them.

[@CaelanHuntress]

Gotcha! Thanks for that, I had no idea.

[@uglyhag9920]

Anyone elses OCD play up with the power switches that were left on? Cause same.....

[@oldschoolandroid311]

In NZ we walk on whatever side not left lol just that someone may have walked into the left and everyone followed

[@ianstollery4922]

Electric power is 240 volt whereas in the USA it is 110 volt so be very careful to use the right adaptor

[@paintstruck5272]

This is so funny to watch as a kiwi

[@noojman1970]

Couple facts need fine tuning but for a first timer it's understandable. Cool to see him taking in everything & wanting to share everything he's learning - even the outlets which were obviously used by some rude people who don't know you're supposed to turn them off when you're done 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ Hope your trip to WGTN was good - guess I'll just go click ahead & find out... 😂

[@edencoburn7447]

I'm from New Zealand so, yeah. I can see what you're thinking there. :)

[@fentexnz]

That isn't the Queen of England on our notes (there is no such person - the monarchy of England ended in 1801 with the Act of Union). That's the Queen of New Zealand (a separate monarchy). She also happens to be the Queen of the United Kingdom, which is a different position incidentally held by the same person.

[@fentexnz]

oops, I meant 1707 and the Treaty Of Union.

[@freelancernz2714]

Who else noticed the sparrow? at 1:35 he flys into the window and at 2:04 he flys over Caelan's right shoulder.

It’s not all politicians, for those interested $5 - Sir Ed Hillary ( first man to climb Everest $10 - Kate Shepard (first woman to fly transatlantic) $20- Queen Elizabeth II ( monarch of the commonwealth) $50 -Sir Apirana Ngata ( Maori political figure, first Maori to graduate university) $100- Sir Ernest Rutherford ( first person to split the atom)

[@bryansu5824]

Hopefully yous ee this but...is the turbulence bad when going to enw zealand from the US? Or at least during the landing?

[@robertthomson1587]

Queen Elizabeth is on the notes because she’s the Queen of New Zealand. She just also happens to the Queen of many other countries too.

[@beez0098]

Kia ora, welcome to our beautiful country.

You don't have to walk on the left side of the road

[@mlgnoscoper3050]

well you can if you want a collapsed lung from a drunk driver

Rainer Lamar he means it’s etiquette to keep to the left when walking. It’s the same in Australia

[@killermajaro364]

What? since when was this a thing?

[@honeysoy7020]

I been to American once... so many fucking coins and bills... and taxes this is why I love new Zealand (American is nice but damn the coins and taxes are so annoying to keep up with I mean I had 100 pennies from little of a week)

[@nspector]

Yeah, there have been many attempts here to eliminate the penny. All have failed. I heard it had to do with tourism in Illinois, where Lincoln, who is on the penny, is from. I don't know if that's true, but that's what I heard. Pennies are very annoying for Americans too. Tho I do like to collect the old ones that have a different back which they stopped minting in 1958, or the very old Indian Head pennies that they stopped minting in 1907.

[@dancunningham5800]

It's the Queen of New Zealand when she's mentioned in NZ, Queen of Australia in Australia, etc. That's one thing Americans have to learn. She's not the Queen of England in NZ, Australia, Commonwealth Countries.

[@joash3714]

Mustve been a coinky dink that everyone was walking on the left that day lol

[@grahamdelacey5779]

its cowinky dink (co-winky dink is how you say it), not what ever you said mate. coinky ? what ?

[@joash3714]

Graham De Lacey Umm, there's more than one way to spell it. Coinky dink, Cowinky dink, Kowinky dink. All mean the same thing. Who cares anyway. I'm sure everyone who read my comment knew what I meant 🤦‍♂️

[@grahamdelacey5779]

if everyone knew what you meant like you say, then i wouldn't have made the correction for you. that one letter missing from the word makes the difference between what is it and what it is not. if you are going to change something like that, at least explain that its a local thing from where you reside :) people might then come close to knowing a little about what you're trying to say.

[@joash3714]

Graham De Lacey Lol, I'm not going to bother with this haha. One word for you, RESEARCH

[@grahamdelacey5779]

im glad you think you understand that word mate, remember you are posting your local slang on a video aimed at people from another part of the world. i would suggest you get some intelligence before trying too actually sound or act intelligent :D here is another star for your helmet mate.

Interesting thing about our coins is that many of our coins are magnetic. Handy for magicians...

[@joshpretty8509]

Hope you enjoyed our quirky country!

[@TheClunkingFist]

I hope you learnt lesson 2.5: our electrical outlets are 230 volts, not 110!

[@jurgentreue1200]

Polymer bank notes. An Australian invention and I hazard a guess, New Zealand bank notes are made in Australia.

[@def1b611]

I thought power outlets were the same every where 😂 mind blown

[@CaelanHuntress]

TOTALLY different on different continents.

[@McFlysGarage]

Pretty sure the voltage is different too

[@JORDIIMusic]

Another thing about New Zealand is how we pronounce "Z". We say "zed" not "zee". So hearing someone say "en zee" sounds very foreign to the Kiwi ear!

[@robbyfn]

Correcting you the notes don’t have politicians on the back but famous kiwis (New Zealanders)

[@willnaylor8536]

mcpe_robbie Gaming so the queen was a kiwi?

[@robbyfn]

No she is English

[@robbyfn]

and the queen of course

[@mr2atara]

Some would also say that about Kate Sheppard being born in England too. Not me though. P.S. The side with the people on it is the front, not the back...

[@weetardedcat2112]

Yes, I enjoy patting Kia's and hugging penguins.

[@PaniOCE]

I wonder where he got his info from. An american source?

[@TheClunkingFist]

I hope you worked out that NZ uses 240 volts vs USA 110v before you plugged your laptop in!

[@waldopepper4069]

yes, a simple plug adapter will not do. all that does it allow you to plug your equipment into the wall socket so you can blow it up. unless your equipment says it will take a range of voltages, ie 110 - 240, (which most USA appliances dont) you need a step down transformer of some sort or you will blow your equipment.
