New Zealand? What do you think?

Archive: 34 posts


So what do you know of our humble land?
Fun fact-
NZ is actually the tip of a continent, called Zealandia. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Zealandia-Continent_map_en.svg/547px-Zealandia-Continent_map_en.svg.png

NZ? I love it!

I went on a 3 week holiday to New Zealand, starting from the north of the north island to the south of the south island.
The holiday started by arriving at 1:00am, which really screwed with my mind that night.
I could write 1000's of words on my holiday but I'll condense it to a short paragraph.

Hole in the rock Jet boat ride (Whangerie) , bungy jumping (Queenstown), Zorbing mudpools and sulphur fields (Rotarua, yes it smells like eggs, eww), Glaciers, doubtful sound, Mount taranaki, and a bunch of other things.

I probably spelt a lot of that wrong but yeah, NZ is awesome. I want go back there in a few years time, but this time I want to go in winter instead of summer, snowboarding!

EDIT: Never saw a single sheep or kiwi though. And tell the sun to set earlier instead of 11:00pm! Man that was annoying.

Am i right?

and in seriousness the Constitution Act 1986 was the formal document that ended the last remaining associations of New Zealand with England? (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=39032-England&highlight=england%3F)

New Zealand =

1: sheep
2: kiwis
3: tikis
4: drunken Maori gangs
5: Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings

Did I get 'em all right?

That's the other thing I did. I went white water rafting down one of the rivers used in The Lord of the Rings. It's the one that has the two big statues either side.

Earthquakes are fun as long as they don't damage lots of buildings. A little shaking in the night certainly makes sleep more interesting. 2010-11-04 12:22:00

I always thought NZ was somewhere inthe Eurasia area, had no idea it wsaa near AUS, or that it was an Island....
(Thought it was somewhere near russia or something like that, at the very North. XD)

I always liked the name tho, dunno why, just sounds cool to me.

Well, they speak English kinda.

In all seriousness, though, I really want to visit NZ. I went to Australia for a couple weeks a few years back and enjoyed it, but I've always been curious about their smaller cousin.

Any good universities there? Maybe I'll go to grad school...

I don't understand how anyone can be OK with having Christmas in the summer, though!

I was primarily referring to the beauty of nature. I've never met BabyDoll, but she is probably nice like 99% of the world's population.
