In brief, let me tell you what the New Zealand culture is like. I will quote the ten dollar bill:
On the front: " the dawn of a new era lights the way for New zealand's perpetual voyage of innovation and discovery."
On the back: "Celebrating New Zealand's free spirit and quest for adventure in the new millennium."
Somehow, it moves me a bit more than "In God we trust," but that's me.
These New Zealander's definitely know how to embrace life. No question.
