Kiwi Culture

We’ve been in New Zealand for 4 days and that makes me an expert on New Zealand Culture. I have noticed a couple of really odd things about these people, besides the toilets. First, the national parks are extremely clean. They don’t litter. It’s really nice when compared to Yellowstone or other US National Parks. Second, they love their music. They really enjoy a good Phil Collins, George Michaels, Wham, Genesis, Elton John, or even Michael Jackson song. I think we have heard “Thriller” about 10 times on the radio, and every other song is from Phil Collins. I am going to break out my “moon walk” soon… Lastly, they really enjoy their TV. Our hotel has about 20 channels of TV. On about 15 channels is the same program. I don’t understand why you would need 15 channels with the same program, but down in New Zealand it’s obvious to them.

They also enjoy Lamb, it’s on every menu. It’s on the pizza, they have it by the rack, I am sure they have Lamb Jerky too… There are 10 sheep per person here. Everywhere you look, there’s sheep. Btw, the food is awesome. A vegan would stave, but if you like meat, they have lots of it.
