- New Zealand is an amazing country, with the people perhaps being some of the nicest in the world...BUT kiwi's can still be pretty odd at times 😅. This is a 2 PART video that outlines some of the weird things that Kiwis/New Zealanders do! Sometimes you need to be a Kiwi to understand.

In this video with Chantal, we'll cover some of the odd things New Zealanders do! Kiwiamerican and her family of 6 have been living in New Zealand for 5 years. Chantal (Growing up without borders) has been travelling the world with her family of 5 to 100 countries but got stuck in New Zealand last year during Covid. Tara and Chantal have teamed up to share similar experiences they have had living/traveling around New Zealand!

As a Dutch person living in New Zealand, I found out when I went back that I'm very appreciative of the friendliness. When you are here people ask how long you are staying. In The Netherlands they ask when you are leaving 🙄🤔

The reason water is self serve in a lot of places is because it is a legal requirement in order to obtain a liquor licence. Water needs to be easily accessible, readily available, and be easily seen by patrons at all times.

If you live rurally in nz and are on tank water, to conserve water, "if its yellow let it mellow, if its brown flush it down".

Street libraries are great!
Somebody was asked if they weren't scared somebody would steal the books and they answered:"people who read don't steal"...

The artists in New Zealand are just so fabulous! Glass, ceramics, weavings, paintings, sculptures, metalworks. I had a lot of trouble fitting everything I bought into our luggage.

As an Australian, none of that seemed odd to me. All very familiar.

I am a Kiwi living in Hawaii. Your collection of kiwi "oddities" had me in stitches. I had forgotten the idiosyncracies that were normal when I lived there. I so look forward to my next trip home soon. kia ora!

None of these are odd, but then I am a Kiwi.

Bi weekly could potentially mean twice a week or every 2 weeks. Fortnightly only means every two weeks.

NZ businesses pay wait staff with no expectation of tips to make up their wage. Tips are for excellent service rather than the business shifting responsibility for paying their staff to the customers

Just got to clarify - we don't poop on crosswalks. If our dogs should poop on the footpath or berm then we're required to pick it up and dispose of it (using a disposable bag) ;-)

We ARE odd and I love that about us. Makes me happy. Glad we're appreciated.

Kiwi English is closer to UK English than American English, hence someone from the UK would know what a fortnight was.

Australia and New Zealand speak the Queen’s English. A hamburger is not a hamburger without beetroot.

I think you’ve highlighted what’s actually odd about America rather than NZ but then again I’m an Aussie so what’s odd to you about NZ is normal to us. Australia and NZ are like siblings, we fight but we still love each other ❤️

You didn't mention how much better the chocolate is here than the US.

tomato sauce is a new zealand cultural touchstone. of course we look at you weird if you ask for ketchup. generally you can tell if the chips are hot or cold based on context

You'll always be a kiwi if you love our Watties sauce.

Hey ! Dog poop is NOT a small thing! Have you ever stepped in somebody's dog poop? I HATE it when people don't pick up their dog's poo. New Zealander here! LOL xxx

I'm a kiwi. I can't imagine anyone not knowing what french fries are. Have they never seen a movie?
