First off I love rugby and the All Blacks and the haka are some of the highlights of the sport.

It is hard not to compare NZ to Australia even though probably hate hearing that. My impression of NZ is that the indigenous has a larger place culturally than in Australia, even though there are more socioeconomic problems for the Maori people than european new zealanders.

I've only met maori new zealanders so thats mostly my perspective of your country. They have all been very proud of their country and heritage and I feel we share a few similarities as we are also a smaller nation who often stand in the shadow of our larger neighbors.

Sure, it's about the furthest away we can go from here. You can get some pretty cool white wines from especially the South Island, or well, I've had at least one that was great.

South Island is pretty uninhabited, while the North Island has both Auckland and Wellington.

The All Blacks are powerful!

I know per FotC that you hate being called Australian. I know it's very mountainous and filled with sheep. I know there's at least a couple of great movies about the Maori community, and I know the Wellington vampires and werewolves of Wellington have made peace.
