I know you may seem confused about the title, but that will be explained later. Throughout my stay here, it's been crazy how many differences there are between the United States and New Zealand. Some of these differences are obvious, while others are not. So, I thought I would create a list and share some of these with you.
In New Zealand:
- They drive on the left side of the road
- The drivers seat is on the right side
- Instead of intersections, they have roundabouts
- Mcdonald's is extremely popular and very fancy
- Hot Chocolate is a breakfast necessity
- A typical breakfast is a piece of toast with spaghetti on top
- Doughnuts are dessert and not breakfast
- There's a 20-minute break from work every morning for Morning Tea so that you can get a snack, coffee, or tea
- Wh is pronounced as "f." (in Maori words)
- Z is called Zed
- School goes all year round and is broken up into four terms. After each term, they have a two-week break and their summer is one month from January to February
- They don't have school buses; they shut down half of the city buses every morning and afternoon and those are their school buses.
And finally to explain the title:
- When you say 'Kiwi' you need to specify whether you mean the people (New Zealanders call themselves Kiwis), the kiwi bird (national bird), or the kiwi fruit.
