    Ugh, Maori studies, it is an optional thing I believe, and complete rubbish I am told. There is a parallel Maori school system (but which cannot gain you higher education entrances), Maori is the second language officially and every year we have Te Reo day or some such, during which lots of things are said and done in Maori.

    That is about it.

    Yes I agree, due to the odd nature of NZ society, we get bored and come up with the most disgusting forms of fun imaginable. Also, Kiwis are right strange, just look at those two in Flight of the Concord, wtf?

    I see. Well we completely ignore our indigenous communities. So at least you guys respect them.

    I've been in NZ south island once. Yup theres a lot of sheep and yes theres not much cities and all but I don't think I can get bored of it.....

    Maybe I might if I live there for life time but.. Silly me for being born in Tokyo

    One of the few peoples who could match my strangeness was an Kiwi... He was a nice lad too
