The most important thing I learnt about New Zealand is that "Kiwis" are a great people; great in the sense that they are VERY friendly ( for instance racism is not entertained). In fact when one is from a different country everyone would like to get closer and learn more about one's country - the reason being that most New Zealanders have not been to many other countries, so they are curious.
