I know there's a lot of people on this forum from "down under" and MalignParadigm is actually from New Zealand, but I know virtually nothing about this country, other than the fact that it is an archipelago and has some cool scenery (Lord Of The Rings). I'm just curious.
 
I've never been there, but I do know that it's cold and there are mountains there and the people speak weth funny eccints.

I had to look up the word "archipelago" damn you.
 
Everything I "know" about New Zealand comes from the LotR movies and the Flight of the Conchords tv series. So, basically, almost nothing.
 
If someone I meet is a Kiwi, I subtract a few points unless they prove otherwise. A lot of New Zealanders I've met have had very negative attitudes about the US/Americans that they don't keep to themselves, much like Germans.
 
i'd love to go to NZ and have at least one good friend who hails from there,sounds like a tough place though,drugs and bikies and shit,lots of amphetamines :)
 
My cousin lives there (he's in his 40s and rather rich). Anyway I've been and it's more or less similar to England in the winter. The women come after the dudes there. Yeah even me. Things are expensive. People are liberal and gay. Everybody does extreme sports. Mauris are mostly tossers. Not too many good looking women. Lots of British people. The women come after the men there.

Did I mention the women come after the men there?

Oh and there's mount monganui (or something), steaming rock pools, grumpy old dudes that give you unwanted advice, bimbos.. uh not much else.

It has the rough and readiness of Australia to a degree, but with a hint of gayness thrown in, basically.
 
I live here, so it's automatically pretty fucking awesome. Seriously though, it's just another shitty country with nice scenery, good beer, stupid women, and a pathetic metal scene.

that's true pretty much everywhere until you open your mouth and they realize you're not some ass backwards hick from Iowa

So you're saying it's a good place to go if you don't mind shagging ugly chicks?

Yeah, that. When people find out that I'm from Iowa, they are either surprised that I am actually intelligent or that I'm some sort of poser who has perfected the act of being intelligent but in reality is dumber than a sack of shit (which may be true :guh:).
