I'm posting this as a New Zealander myself. For all of you who have mentioned things about us being racist towards Asians: I have lived here my whole life and have never encountered anyone who doesn't like Asians living here. And for those who say it's full of robbers and thugs: Sure, there are some shifty places in NZ, but there are shifty places everywhere! And finally, the accent: The Kiwi accent varies in different parts of New Zealand. I'm from Wellington, and I sound quite different to that. And as you get further south, the r's get more pronounced and people start sounding slightly Scottish.

Because i mean your landscape is completely different to Sweden but the difference is we have all 4 seasons and it get really cold in the winter, and in Sweden 20 degrees could be 'cold'. I really wanna know if it's WARM in New Zealand with those temperatures, is it tropical weather and heat? If somebody knows please help!! lol.
@toby99997 жыл бұрын
Ana Mira I think I would like the climate in Sweden as I hate the heat in summer and prefer winter. As for the NZ climate: The South Island is typically colder in winter depending on region 10C - 15C max. Even colder in mountainous areas. North Island is typically 15C - 20C max but there is a lot of variation again depending on the region. East is typically drier than the west. Central regions get snow but snow can also fall to sea level in the south island during winter. Summer is more about micro climates. The hottest and coldest places are probably both in central south Island. East is typically hotter, sunnier and drier. Average summer max ranges from 20C in Dunedin to 26C in northern regions. Napier has a more stable sunnier and drier summer and wetter winters while Dunedin is changeable with rain more evenly spread throughout the year. There are no tropical areas in NZ. The far north might be considered sub-tropical as the winters are mild. Auckland tends to be warm and humid in summer. Hope that helps.

86nugget19 No, they don't. I'm not sure where you got your information from but it's wrong. Tipping is not done in New Zealand. If you've ever seen someone tip in NZ then that's because it was either a foreigner that wasn't aware they didn't need to, or someone who has money to throw around and feels the waiter deserved some extra money because they did an excellent job. Mind you the latter only happens very very rarely. I know a lot of people who work in hospitality, from small cafes to high end restaurants. Tipping is not done here.

Don't forget to wave when you pass anyone waiting for you to get across a single lane bridge even if you had right of way, it's just what we do :) And watch out for 1. Kiwis always under estimate time of journey especially for tourists. If they say 5 hours. Plan on 8 hours so you can see the sites on the way. 2. Kiwis are shocking on the open road. Pretty polite in towns and cities but can feel aggressive on the open road. They tail gate, so best just to pull over frequently or slow right down to allow a person to get passed. 3. All Kiwis think it's tourists that cause all the accidents when only 3% of accidents in NZ are caused by a tourist P.S I am a Kiwi

I travelled in South Island for 12 days in 2006. What a beautiful country New Zealand is! Absolutely breathtaking and amazing. 13 days was definitely not enough time to enjoy the beauty of New Zealand but I had a fantastic time and made enjoyable memories in there. I would definitely go back to the places I have been. Of course Christchurch wouldn't be the same as it was in 2006 but it was a such wonderful cith with lots of kind people. I still remember this good chap called Kevin who helped me out when I was struggling with direction. And lake Tekapo is just !!!!! can't even describe its beauty in words. Bungee jump, speed boat, horse riding etc in Queenstown - stayed in there for three nights and it was too short. I am thinking to revisit this heaven in 2016 again with my other half this time. I live in Scotland and mostly things are quite similar but nothing can be prettier than New Zealand in my opinion. Highly & strongly recommend!!!!

I bet it is still beautiful. Surely you will fall in love. I t was just breathtaking and very impressive. I think that is why I still remember every part of my journey.

We moved away I wonder how they resolved it... Anyway my main point is everyone is different, most "foreigners" I know think NZ is the best the people fantastic.

Another thing (I think) that is worth mentioning. If you're from the united states, there may be foods here in New Zealand that some people can't eat without having problems that you could eat in the US. I could eat any commercially grown eggs in the US, but commercially grown eggs in NZ give me cluster migraines. I could eat any soy sauce in the US but even Kikkoman soy sauce in NZ makes me feel like I have the flu. I could see not putting something like that in your video as it probably doesn't apply to many people, and I'm not griping, just a good tidbit. I know quite a few kiwis that can't eat those foods here either. If you're only here to visit and don't have time to figure stuff like that out it could really ruin your day.

Waiheke = 'Y' (as the letter) heck 'E' (as in the letter) Y - heck - E The trick to Māori pronunciation a - say it as in 'up' e - as in bed i - as in the aussie pronunciation of 'chip' o - as in or (if you don't role your 'rrr') u - as ughhh but keep it short If you see two vowels together say as above but quickly without making them to long If you see a vowel with a macron i.e. ā then lengthen the vowel sound wh - say as a soft 'f' sound i.e. whaka is fucka ng - as in bring, finger but don't make the hard 'g' sound like some english accents do r - is tricker to explain but if you say 'udder' with a lazy 'd' sound then that's how to produce it. All sounds are always produced so don't miss out consonants in the middle like a cockney LOL There are heaps of tutorials here on youtube if you really want to learn

Thanks, this should help. I am only over for a few weeks, but I would like to go back to NZ in the future for a longer period of time. Well, I still have my aunty over there, who can teach me a thing or two about the Kiwi dialect :-)
I think of a rolled 'r' as more like american or Southland 'r in purple'. In phonetics the Māori 'r' is considered a 'flap' which is different again to the Scottish/Spanish/Italian trill. As long as she got the drift, to really understand sounds in language you need to actually listen to them, luckily youtube is full of wonderful tutorials!

Try to visit NZ winter in June, July, August. For European people it is a challenge. Be ready for the cold weather, take a warm natural clothes and other warm things.Be ready that NZ homes are cold and mostly have only one fireplace in a dining room and motels have one poor heater in a room. Also be ready for constant earthquakes. But it is nothing in comparison with a fab beauty of this country. My dream is to visit NZ again.

The "tipping is mandatory" is fucking ridiculous. You want food, so you pay for the food. Yeah sure, they cook it and bring it to you, but that's why the prices are also much higher than if you buy it at a grocery store. I think a tip needs to be deserved by the staff. If they treat me like a god and do everything right, I might leave a tip. But if someone comes up to me saying "You HAVE to leave a tip." I'll just haul ass and don't pay for anything.

Cool video guys, but one more essential thing for certain goers to keep in mind is that it's VERY hard to obtain a visa, if you're not from a visa waiver country. And even in that case, you could be unexpectedly returned home at entry if you do not posses enough proof that you plan to leave the country. My advice (from experience) for everyone is to be ready to display a whole lot of proof that you are a genuine, or "bona fide" visitor
