Mrs Duck Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm proud to say I've lived in Nelson (SI), New Zealand. I moved home exactly one year ago today... It's the most beautiful country in the world and everyone should go there at some point and see it. The people are awesome too. So why are you interested in New Zealand?

Monkey Cartwheels Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Just to be "That guy". Im from NZ and think its kinda dumb. Id rather be elsewhere. But yeah we have great landscapes and stuff, but a lot of other problems with it to. And its so cut off from the rest of the world too. But generally the people are good.

Thought it was cut of from the world too and it was all useless... one day you'll come to love your home, promise I'm interested in going there someday.

From what Ive seen of everywhere else, everywhere else seems better. I dont like being classed as a New Zealander due to our stereotype. Oh Kim, Im not looking forward to the world cup Link to post Share on other sites
Danielle Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 New Zealand is one of the places I would most like to visit, it looks such a beautiful country. Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, there are better countries but we are pretty lucky with NZ. I always feel there are better towns in New Zealand buttt there's nothing we can do about it (yet) and the NI is still nice haha Have you ever been to the Coromandel or up north near Goat Island, Keri Keri? Those are some awesome places. Rotorua too! I half am. Hopefully they treat Auckland well >.< And now all of Christchurch's matches will be transferred to here as well, it'll be crazy lol.

What's stereotype NZ? Have you been to Nelson Kim? Or anyone been to Nelson (Joe)??? It's a great part of New Zealand, there's no excuse for not visiting the Abel Tasman National Park!!! And I met Nelson-people who've never been up there... I was horrified to say the least. It's extremely beautiful and so worth a walk. Just start in Marahau and walk up to Anchorage, stay at the Aquapackers boat, have fun with fellow walkers and continue up the coast line. The prettiest beach is definitely Bark Bay. Spent about half and hour there swimming around before taking the boat back to Marahau... *sigh* Those were the days. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know the names of any of these places. So, it's interesting to learn. I do agree with New Zealand kind of being "cut-off" from the rest of the world. I talk to Kimmie a lot ( Okay, everyday pretty much, double ) And she tells me these pieces of news that I'm like, "I found that out two days ago ". I don't have any type of stereotype for New Zealanders. I'm sure Aussies might hold stereotypes for NZers, but I don't. Honestly, I'm floored everytime I see pictures of NZ. I go . Gorrrgeeeeouuussss. I'd like to bike Christchurch to Auckland one day. That'd be super awesome. One of the tours I looked at starts in Christchurch, goes 18 days, and works its way up north west, and onto the west coast, before crossing over east to head north to Auckland. That'd be epicccc. <3. Gaaaah. I can dream, can't I? Plus, if I can stereotype New Zealanders, it'd have to be based off of Kimz's personality. And that's saying something, since she's amazing. LOOOOOL. Edited May 4, 2011 by Lena Link to post Share on other sites

LOOOOOL.Haha WHEN you go there, be sure to not leave before you are sure you have seen everything you want to see. And the Abel Tasman is for anyone who likes, well nature. Not sure there's any typical kiwi personality etc, I find them quite British: very kind, friendly and helpful. What I understand Aussies are pretty much the same, I think it's an island thing! I didn't feel out of place in NZ anyways, and I'm as (typical) Swedish as can be. Link to post Share on other sites
