The fact that Australia has a part in the constitution saying New Zealand can join anytime makes it feel like one of those friendships where one party very clearly has romantic feelings and the other just wants to stay friends, but the former remains hopeful that eventually the other will change their mind.

I miss this place so much. I’m Korean but I spent 18 months of my formative years in Christchurch. It’s not long but there are a handful of lasting crystal clear memories that I cherish. Most of my earliest memories are from my time there. I miss the blue skies, the Real minced meat pies (I later learned the rest of the world except Australia were calling dried fruit pies that. Disappointing as raisons in a cookie), animals everywhere, paua necklaces, the beach and the whales and seals, and just letting the wind move my body. It’s an idealised image through the eyes of a child, but still.

Personally as a New Zealander, I reckon you guys did better than most at not butchering our place names *for the most part*, a couple of things to point out would be that we call the North Island and South Island literally "The North Island" or "The South Island", also the big mountain chain of the North Island that goes from Wellington to Gisborne is called the Axial Ranges, Kaweka is one part of it. Imo there were probably a few cooler things to mention in the attractions like Coromandel or the longest place name from the start of the video, as well as all the comments I've seen about Taika Waititi. Overall great job of explaining our history and culture, one thing I noticed was missing was NZ's efforts in galipolli during WW1, which is kind of a big deal over here every ANZAC day.

9:55 I am an Aussie and the Kiwi dialect sounds nothing like ours. It is completely different. It’s one of the things us Aussies take the mick out of them for. Their pronunciation for six as “sux” always and fish and chips as “fush and chups” is always a source of great humour. However as an Aussie I love New Zealand to bits as they are just an amazing country with very few, if any, bad things about them.

[@bluesclues8881]

Genevieve Blackburn I’ve never heard anyone in NZ say fush and chips 🤣

[@dannyrank123]

those are exaggerated kiwi stereotypes. never heard anyone pronounce "six" as "sux"

[@NiTeHaWKnz]

But to American's it's similar. It would be like us saying Canadian English and American sound the same

[@airuisheng1611]

And Europeans voted Kiwis as the most understandable and likable English speakers. As an Australian, I am surprised to hear there were Kiwis in PNG during WWII they would have been airmen and sailors I think. I am aware that a Fijian regiment served in the NZL army and fought the Japanese later in the war. They defended NZL while the Kiwis were in the Middle East. Many Americans were also in NZL but killed more of their own than Japanese when sent to battle. The USAF continues the tradition by bombing allies around the world and has killed more Kiwis since the Vietnam War than the enemy. Americans in Melbourne engaged in terrible race-based battles every Friday night which are still talked about today.

Pretty good... though in WWI we didn't just hang around the islands. We got together with the Australians & formed the ANZACs - the Australia-New Zealand-Army Corps. With them we participated in a major offensive in Turkey, storming the beaches in a place called Gallipoli. On April 25th we have a national holiday called ANZAC Day in which we commemorate all those lost to war, but particularly focuses on the Gallipoli campaign. April 25th is the day we lay wreathes and wear poppies to remember our fallen.

They found Welsh meridian, survey stone markers that pre-date the Mor-ori's and the Maori's in New Zealand ! There is a Maori tribal dna lineage to this day where the red/ginger colour is prevalent amongst descendants of their pale-faced red-haired Ancestors. It could be, that a European race discovered New Zealand first and is not in the history books! It could well of been the Welsh, since it was Celtic markings on the stone markers and the advent of a tribe of red-haired white people that still exist today, reeks of European DNA infusion at some stage ! I would not discount the Welsh's contribution to NZ's formation and foundation as THE Nation that punches way above its weight per population, and it's overall inter-relationships of races and cultures co-existing in harmony more so then any other Nation on this planet ! There lies the " Kiwi " pride, boundless, profound and Nesian hard !

When the Magna Carta was signed in 1215, and during most of Notre Dame Cathedral's construction, no humans lived in New Zealand. There's something existential about that... And meanwhile just a two-hour flight away in Australia, humans were living there before they were in Europe.

[@nedisahonkey]

Not in love with your use of "existential" but I totally get what you're going for and it is very interesting to think about. I also like thinking the absolute cultural isolation of Aboriginal Tasmanians and other groups like them around the world. Imagine walking to a new land and then generations later having the sea rise so that your entire population is isolated for thousands for tens of thousands of years.
