I've know about it since... The second grade or something? I can't remember when we covered that particular country, but I know where it is and what it's generally like down there. Not much else to tell.
You. You should be given a cookie.lizards said:well do you have a flag?TopazFusion said:Heard of it? I live here!
Oh, and the sheep-outnumbering-people thing; this is true of any farming country in the world, not just unique to New Zealand.
Sorry, I meant to fly over here and accommodation. Not to play with the planes (not a clue what that costs)TestECull said:That include shipping a 68" wingspan aircraft and it's field gear both ways?maxmanrules said:Actually it's about 5 grand for a week and a half, assuming you live in the US. 5 grand OUR money, so like 4 grand american. Maybe.TestECull said:Yeah, I've heard of it. I'm subscribed to xjet on youtube, which runs a bunch of lulzy RC aircraft stuff on an airfield in Tokoroa. Wouldn't mind popping by and flying with them, they seem to be a relaxed bunch that doesn't needlessly restrict what you can do with your own stuff, but I'm not going to spend 20-30 grand in travel expenses to play with toy airplanes.
Prior to xjet I knew it existed but that was it.
Still, even at 4-5K, bit much to play with a toy plane. But if I ever found myself going to NZ for another reason you can bet I'd grab something and make my way there
But it's sooo cute! It's eating a carrot, just like a bunny rabbit!GLo Jones said:THAT IS ALL YOU NEED.maxmanrules said:You do realise than is our ONLY insect right?GLo Jones said:Being English, you have the sort of insects that would make me curl up in a ball and die of fear.
Keep it away from me.
Oh yes. I didn't say I agree with it, infact with the way they act as a whole (Not individually of course) I think the leeway they are given is unjust and plain annoying. All this free stuff because they claim the colonists stole their land, when it was infact gifted and traded forNinjaOnXTC said:Not to mention that they are the majority of the prison population, and the only people who have chased me down a free-way while high on P. Also make up the majority of the broken homes in NZ.LogieBear said:Where did you hear we neglect them? NZ has the best Native race relations of any other country. Considering 200 hundred years ago (When NZ was founded) The Colonists didnt kill them all, enslave them, or drive them out. Infact today the Maori have a huge influence on how the country is run by the Govt. Not to mention fact that they are at least 40% of the population. They are given free tertiary education, housing and own sacred land for thier rich culturevolX said:What i know NZ most fore are actually the Maori. I wouldnt have thought they would be neglected so much.
Couldnt care less about rugby or lotr, but how can you neglect people with those awesome face tatoos(not everybody of course).
Yea they are the defining point of NZ for me.
Cant say I ever went there, I was at Browns Bay. I did however go to Murray's Bay Intermediate. Small world.Phantomess said:I WAS near the beach! I went to Murray's Bay Primary School for a while before we moved across the ditch.
You obviously haven't tried our wonderful craft beer. We have some truly brilliant breweries here. Some examples include Moa, Epic, 8 Wired, Harrington's, Hallertau, Three Boys, Wigram and Yeastie Boys just to name some of the better known ones off the top of my head. What awful commercial beer ruined you opinion of NZ beer might I ask?General Vengeance said:Shitty beer
Zealand is a province in the Netherlands. So I'm not saying I'm a neighbour of New Zealand. I can just ride my bike from my home to "old" Zealand and back within an hour.mrhappy1489 said:What you live in the Netherlands, Belgium or one of the other low countries, ow yes I am quite familiar with the not really obscure regions of Europe. Possibly Denmark? Maybe the United Kingdom, though why people consider being across the sea is the same as a neighbor is beyond me.Lex Hornman said:Ofc I know New Zealand. And as to some people not know it exists. Well duh some people just are not interested or stupid.
On a side note I live right next to Zealand. Not New Zealand but "old"Zealand. Now did you know that place existed?
