New Zealand has its bad qualities as well as good, it's not perfect just like every other country in the world. This girl is just stating things shes experienced well being here, and thought it would be helpful for anyone who was intrested in coming NZ to know about .I saw nothing wrong with this video I don't understand why some kiwis got so triggered XD relax guys XD

You have over looked the bigger issue , the huge influx of Indians and Asians in to this country in the last decade buying up property / land , pushing up rents , creating homelessness of our own . We are a small country we cant sustain large influxes of people moving here , we cant build a city the size of Tauranga in a year to house everyone . But then I surpose this is all fine and dandy if you have plenty of $ and own your own home .

The wifi is because you were using wifi from the places you were staying which is quite often not as good and not made for snapchat and other social medias, and being used by so many people at the same time.

Awh that’s amazing that people are so friendly 😁😁 I learned a lot! Thank you! 😊 I want to go to New Zealand soon! My plan was to go there or Australia around September, but with coronavirus probably wont happen until once things blow over 😭

Great video :) I lived in Auckland for a while about 2 years ago and had to come home in Montreal because the company that worked for unfortunately closed and at that time, I couldn't stay(but wanted to) but I miss it so so much. I'm planing to move back next year and stay in NZ as long as I can(I want to get the permanent residency at least) because, according to what I'm looking for, this is the best country in the world. Don't get me wrong, I still love Canada and Montreal especially since it's where I'm from, but NZ has so much to offer and when you start to compare the pros and cons, on the long run it's the best place for me. Everything you said were true...especially being a east coaster like you, we're pretty much ''in your face'' all the time (but without being rude..I think you now what I'm saying...friendly but reaaallllyyy opinionated haha) and even if that personality trait is still in me, I thought that I was not a stressed person, but after one week there, I saw that I was haha Because people are so relaxed, friendly, etc that you look at yourself and be like ''I need to calm down a little bit'' lol We're so political in North America all the time that when I saw a NZ Herald headline that was in the vein of ''NZ has a shortage of avocados'' I was like ''Yeaaaahhh...ok. Not much corruption and scandals here'' haha And THAT reflects the kindness of Kiwis I think (among other things of course) :) I hope you'll move there again someday as well! Cheers! P.S. Damn that I miss the Babe burger at Velvet Burger and Sal's Pizza...mmmmmmmmm lol

These are red flags about any country, I can tell you that have that the media is controlled by a monopoly of two media outlets. Any alternative view to the neoliberal outlook doesn't get a look in. The culture is provincial so it is very insular and inward looking, middle class is the largest social group and fitting into society means being bourgeoise. The veneer of society cohesion started to come undone from after the war and there is incredible division in society the media doesn't talk about because it could damage business optimism.There is a meanness out there which says if you are poor, it is your fault.

Mashoto Shaku - “Free” in the economic sense of deregulated, under-regulated, or unregulated actually translates to much less class mobility between the capitalist economic classes. In the pre-capitalist world deregulation meant more class mobility for the burghers (who became the bourgeoisie), because it gave them the chance to attain the same or even greater wealth (and power!) as the nobility… but that’s all, and in the centuries since, laissez-faire capitalism has led to a permanent and widening divide between the owners of capital and laborers, with about as much chance of a laborer achieving significant wealth using the levers of capitalism as of winning the lottery.

There is not nearly as much smoking as went on in, say, the 1990s and the smoking rate is down around 15% of the population now. Auckland is also known as the "City of Volcanos" on the account of it being on top of about 50-60 volcanos with the most obvious being Rangitoto island.

I’ve lived in NZ for over 15 years until 2003, successful business man, but I always wanted leave NZ, then left successfully that year. I still go there twice a year for my business. Because I am a Japanese, 5’ 4” tall, and not speaking English well, the discrimination to Asian is worse than America. For example, white girl stick up her middle finger to me, I was just driving my car and parked at intersection waiting for green light. Another bad is Maori bus driver purposely scared me and my employee were crossing intersection. Then laughing. My another employee got argument with white guy, he suddenly punched my employee and bleeding. then called a police. Police said that this is not a police matter, not help at all. Soon later days, he and his wife left NZ, although he has permanent residence visa. I can’t tell all bad experience because I am Asian. I got my 3 cars stolen, many of my employees got experience broken their cars. It seems like NZ whites are very kind to young Asians, but not guys especially not speaking English well. So your case, young and beautiful , speaking American accent, is fresh to them. So you admire NZ good, but not to many of Asian men. So those Asians are sticking with same nationality. But again, this is all dependent on people. Kazunari

hi kaz, first of all thank you so much for watching and commenting, i really appreciate your insight, as it is so important to have different perspectives. i am so sorry for just commenting now, i did not see the original comment for some reason! but i actually live in Japan now and it is actually probably much safer/ or at least more polite here in Japan, despite the larger population. i have definitely heard some things about discrimination against asians being really bad in New Zealand, which makes me really sad as well, just because they cannot speak English well, it is no reason to be discriminatory or be mean and violent. i hope you are living somewhere that life is easier for you now!

1:36 you mentioned bare feet. In the UK many places such as restaurants and supermarkets don't allow bare feet. Nearly all workplaces and schools 'sensible' footwear is required. While walking barefoot in public in the UK is actually legal, many people regard it as either curious, odd, weird, offensive, fascinating, ridiculous...take your pick. I'm a UK barefooter so I know. A few people have noticed and very kindly chatted about my being barefoot, the reasons, etc. But such British people are needles in a bigoted haystack. My supervisor took me to one side and asked I submit to footwear or threatened with leaving the premises, like a common criminal. Meanwhile, I'd previously seen drama students and a couple of teachers without shoes, walking the corridors! My one consolation is that New Zealanders are more fair and understanding than my (cough!) fellow countrymen.

Actually lots of us New Zealanders hate people without shoes. Get some class! It’s disgusting.

Kia Ora! Some of what you may say is true! But as a Maori its not so much a pretty picture☹️ You see, the government tends to pay more attention to the tourists and refugees. While doing this, there is less attention on Maori and their wishes and RIGHTS to New Zealand. Im sorry for speaking the truth, but even though some of these comments are unnecessary and a bit taken out of proportion, I deeply feel they’re just angry and hurt🌷So apologies on my behalf, Awesome video xx

As a Kiwi living overseas,nothing as changed as far as some of our people having a chip on their shoulders,always bagging people,bitter and twisted souls that can't see the good in anything,or be happy for others,i see it every time i go home,or online,none of these idiots have even started to grow up,so disappointing.

Thorfinn986_doesn't_do_average Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! I’m glad that your experience living overseas has given you perspective, as I also became a lot more open minded after going abroad. I agree that there’s always a handful of negative people that feel the need to express their unhappy opinions from everywhere or haven’t grown up, but it’s always refreshing knowing there are more out there who value different opinions and do want the best for people and respect others. Hopefully the others will follow suit some day!

I definitely could have and a lot of people did, but I didn't really have money and didn't think it was worth the investment based on the amount of time I had. I was just relaying my experience

I love new Zealand
