I saw number six on sale in a lot of the little souvenir stores. 100% lambswool!
I did really enjoy hobbitron and loved the fjords.

Bwahaha!! I love your country too Polz  fell in love after a 10 day trip to Wellington with DH during an RNZAF/RAAF/USAF Air Forces conference in 2009. The King and Queen of Spain were on an official visit and staying at our hotel at the time. The whole experience was such a treat from the food to the countryside to the history/culture to the lovely people. We had a whirlwind tour of so many things, just can't say enough about how much we enjoyed being there--great time! |

I lived in Australia. I met a fair few Kiwi's. I am not at all surprised by this list. Kiwi's are awesome people  |

Those are great - my niece and her family live in Auckland. Her husband's parents live in Matata - so I though #11 was quite clever! |

Does #4 mean the same thing in NZ as it means here in America?  |

As the resident of another country that doesn't have states, number 15 made me chuckle!

Does #4 mean the same thing in NZ as it means here in America? Yes and no. It does mean the same thing but we also have been known to use it as a compliment, as in "he's a good c*&t" or in nicer terminology "he's a good guy". I've lived away for 15yrs now and I think these say a lot about our country and people. Not sure I could use them at the preschool international festival though, LOL. |

I love Kiwis!!!  Number 15 literally made me LOL so hard: "I was going through my emails and one of my on-line orders had been dispatched and when I ordered it I had to put in a state but New Zealand doesn't have states and I was annoyed so I put "New Zealand doesn't have states you fuckass" and now in the dispatch email under delivery address it totally has "New Zealand doesn't have states you fuckass" as part of it woops.  It reminds me of when I used to work for the phone company back in the 80's and someone mischieveously changed the billing address on the KFC account from Kentucky Fried Chicken to Fucking Tired Chicken. They never found out who did it! |
