Less than two months until this norwegian will be moving to New Zealand: I have already gotten good advice here on the important things in life (Which mobile network to use, which ISP to use, good Hi-fi shops etc).

I reckon its time to ask about the do's and don'ts of New Zealand. And I hope you can help me.

What should I do and what should I absolutely not do?

From my Kiwi wife I have learnt that its dangerous to bundle you guys together with ozzies. Anything else I should avoid doing? And what should I absolutely do? Etiquette wise or otherwise?

Hope to get help from fellow migrants to New Zealand, as well as you true blood Kiwis.

joker97: when people say 'hi how's it going' don't tell them


I thought the only proper answer to that is "Sweet as" ;)

sittingduckz: 


Australians aren't too bright, and claim lots of NZ stuff :) (you can have Russell Crow)


Nah, we don't wan't him so you can have him back any time... but you might want to learn to spell his last name so you don't cop a phone to the head.


(and you say aussies aren't too bright... sheesh.)


Back on topic... NEVER tell a kiwi you enjoyed being in Aussie if you ever holiday here, they're jealous and will come up with all sorts to put it down, ( as you see here) especially if they've never left the north island. Tongue Out

EDIT: After reading the comments here (stuff.co.nz weather article), it seems most kiwis also hate each other...
