Answer 4

Being a kiwi! I just like being a kiwi....we usually have good reputations around the world, we are proud of our achivements and we have great scenery and people!

Answer 5

free healthcare

Answer 6

Lived there for 10 years and my favourite things there is the equality between man and woman ( honestly much higher than other countries I have lived in)

Also the ability to make due with makeshift solutions - not everything gets there on time or is in stock. Gives a really nice flavour

Answer 7

I just love my home country. As soon as i get a glimpse of Auckland, as we fly in from LA...my heart just flips with joy :)

The food is the best, i can't seem to down enough pies when im home!.

It's a very laid back country & the people are great!!.

Go Kiwi :)

Answer 8

well I live in Auckland so I like walking around Tamaki Drive (he waterfront areas that does for miles & miles to the city) and love Rangitoto (the dormant volcano in the harbour that you can see from Tamaki Drive).  That's what I miss when I go overseas.  Also cool creative people from here like Flight Of the Conchords and Peter Jackson and NZ musicians make me feel proud to be a kiwi.

Answer 9

the hobbits

Answer 10

kiwi!

Answer 11

The laid back life style as a whole, just suits me personally. We do work hard, but we know how to relax as well. Can't find it anywhere else.

Answer 12

The fact we can wander the streets and feel safe, we have free healthcare, and that when we travel or move overseas people are always interested and keen to meet us! :)

Answer 13

Well, I've seen a bit of London... been around Europe, lived in France ...been to Aussie .. (although trips to Aussie are so common for us these days that it almost doesn't seem like it counts as an "overseas" trip anymore).  Point is, when I get back on New Zealand soil, I love how laid back the feel and pace of life is here.  I know it might sound cheesie, but I feel that "laid-back-ness" as soon as I get off the plane and into the airport, and I love it!

Yes, I loved my overseas experiences and wouldn't take them back for the world (I admit it took a while for me to adjust to the "slow" pace of life again once I was away for an extended period, then first arrived back) but once I was settled, I started to wonder why people ever leave.

No country's perfect and we have our problems, but those issues really do pale in comparison when compared with everything else that's happening in other parts of the world.  

We don't know how lucky we are sometimes!

Answer 14

Our public healthcare system is excellent.  This country is about as big as Britain or Japan but only about 4.2 million people.  No poisonous animals in the garden, sea or bush.  Not much religious or ethnic baggage.  A cool climate.  We're not worth bothering to attack.  I agree with oX-Stace about the Catlins; it's just along the coast from where we live, and one of the most underrated places in the world, especially Curio Bay.

Answer 15

EVERYTHING....I'm a very proud Kiwi, born and raised and I love my country.  The people, the culture, the identity, the food, the attitudes, the scenery, the achievements.  We are definitely starting to make a name for ourselves....
