    We don’t let sheep vote here, despite being outnumbered by them. We also have no romantic relationships with them either.

    Australians suck and are terrible at sport. Don’t pick on them though, because we’re the Pacific redneck brothers. Only we can pick on Australians.

    You always know when Tonga or Samoa is playing a sports match, because you’ll see the flags and hear the cars tooting everywhere.

    Guy Fawkes is a real big deal. Fireworks will be going all week.

    All the fish and chip shops are owned by Chinese, all the dairies by Indians, and all the bakeries by Cambodians.

    It’s difficult to find some nationality that isn’t represented by a restaurant somewhere.

    Our national dish is Butter Chicken.

      you are writing about a place where every second person is prone to skin cancer and you don’t even notice it… It’s just like a cold (illness ) for you. And the fact that you live so far from the rest of the world that if you have the opportunity, you certainly try to escape from the country (despite the high level of prosperity of the country). And you can’t swimming in ocean… water is cold, evenin summer…

      Try a major UK city. It’s dark early, often foggy, people are fighting each other with rockets on the streets. People are holding hands and burning effigies of the latest prime minister.

      God do I miss England in November.

      I’ve always loved seeing these sorts of brotherly rivalries between nations.

      You always know when Tonga or Samoa is playing a sports match, because you’ll see the flags and hear the cars tooting everywhere.

      Ahh, that big a sports rivalry, then?

      It’s difficult to find some nationality that isn’t represented by a restaurant somewhere.

      Got a favorite nationality’s food?

      New Zealand is a beautiful country and it’d be a dream to get a chance to visit y’all some time :D

      We also have no romantic relationships with them either.

      Well yeah, bit rude for the sheep to cheat on their Welsh spouses, innit? Nawh I kid, love ya Wales! A Welsh accent’s honestly my favorite from the Isles.

      American here, we’d never pick on the Aussies, they’re our little brother that just keeps picking up our bad habits, which I guess makes NZ the little brother that we forget even exists most of the time, till you do something cute.
