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.

Good pronunciation for the most part, I absolutely love how the only real mispronunciations are of English names

Hey watch the video "10 reasons not to visit New Zealand" by garandhero.

[@TheChimples]

Not exactly. The way NZ treats its indigenous populations is light years ahead of Canada. Not to mention that the recent trucker protests have exposed some of Canada's dark and ugly underbelly.

[@AholeAtheist]

@@TheChimples Don't worry, we also have a dark and ugly underbelly that identifies more with the hillbillies in the US. They had their own trucker/farmer "envoy". Just another way we're similar .

[@ProfessorDataD]

We also have the world’s third largest tree by trunk volume if your interested. Its also estimated to be between 1250 and 2500 years old.
