3:50 The minimum wage here in New York is $15 an hour but no one wants to make a career out of a minimum wage job because there are so many opportunities available for upward mobility. Since there are so many businesses and so much competition, the consumer is the king hence good customer service skills are crucial in the restaurant business!… The more you impress your customers, the more tips you earn!… Makes perfect sense!

[@BrentColeman]

Thanks for watching! For many kiwis the concept of tipping isn't popular as they generally like prices to be clear and explicit upfront, without having to calculate tips and sales taxes. For shared tables it makes the split easier too. Completely see where you're coming from, it's just not the standard practice here :)

[@aheat3036]

@@BrentColemanDon’t you want to know how much of your hard earned money the government is stealing from you and what states or regions have lower taxes so that you can move there?… I sure do and unfortunately for me, the state I live in is absolutely highway robbery as far as taxes are concerned!… New Zealand is a centralized collectivist monarchy where pretty much everything is decided by the central government & people dont seem to question that authority and that will never work in the USA!

[@herselfandherd1210]

Here good service is given for free, and its genuine. Kiwis are allergic to fake flattery & can spot it in 2 seconds flat. Knowing exactly how much youre taking home at the end of the day, allows you to plan accordingly. Its just common sense.

Thank you... notice that you mention universities of NZ briefly... perhaps a vid on NZ universities and universities lifestyle

[@BrentColeman]

Heya! I have studied at two NZ universities (Auckland and Waikato), I'd be severely underqualified to review all of them 😁

[@armandf.s4036]

thank you for making this video brent! I am a native indonesian but I was born in palmerston north, so I have a plan to move and immigrate there using my permanent resident status. I also plan to do my master's degree in either massey or victoria. My only concern is regarding the living cost and high accomodation fees. I can afford those but It'll be tough. Any tips for handling this concern? or maybe cheaper housing alternatives?

[@BrentColeman]

Nice! I lived in Palmerston North from 1996-2003 and went to Whakarongo School! I’ve made a few videos in the past comparing living prices between New Zealand and other countries which could be helpful (look for “Cost of Living” videos on my channel!). Living in smaller centres or away from the city is always cheaper. To save on living costs, choosing cheaper options like Pak N Save for groceries, or Gull for fuel, should help money go further. NZ’s not a cheap place to live, but I’ve travelled a fair bit and prefer it over many other spots like the US! Hope this helps!

[@guessmoments]

very useful mate!

[@BrentColeman]

Glad you liked it!

[@pronoysingha7624]

please make a video about study in new zealand

[@BrentColeman]

Hey! My knowledge of most universities is limited as I studied mainly in Singapore. During High School I did a course at Waikato, it has a really nice campus. I also spent a semester at Auckland University, campus is less good but the brand name is better known abroad. Hope this helps

[@LunaWaves]

what about the car enthusiast culture? are they strict on those? do you see a ton of modified cars?

[@BrentColeman]

There’s restrictions on the exhaust noise and spoiler size, but aside from that it’s pretty open I’d think. Strong Japanese presence here, the cars I grew up with as our first cars included Silvia, MR2, GTO, Celica, Corollas, MX-5, etc. now they’re worth a mint. Lots of old Skylines, RX-7s, Imprezas, Supra, Evos, Legacys around that are heavily modified, and strong community around them. Hope that helps!

[@Sankarvishnu2255]

Sorry about that! If you have any questions please let me know!

"...popping up like mushrooms." Normally I'd say popping up like weeds but since this is NZ with the notoriously damp and mouldy homes..yes, I guess mushrooms are appropriate.
