New Zealand Economy and New Zealand Customs

Driving habits in New Zealand are completely different from those in China. The traffic rule is to drive on the left and the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. If you are used to driving habits in China, practice more before you go on the road.

Second, traditional customs.

Most of the residents in New Zealand are descendants of European immigrants, and the number of immigrants accounts for most of the total population, while the aborigines in New Zealand account for only a small part. In major events, local people need to pray in the river and splash water on each other to express the purity of religious ceremonies. At the same time, in New Zealand, if you meet a distinguished guest, you will "touch your nose", so new immigrants should be careful not to lose their manners.

Third, living habits.

New Zealand has a slow pace of life and comfortable living conditions, but it is very picky about the usual food, clothing, housing and transportation, pursues a high-quality lifestyle, especially likes kiwifruit, and even regards it as a national symbol. It has a strong sense of time and will keep appointments on time, which also shows that the local people are very efficient.

Fourth, taboo customs.

In New Zealand, many people believe in Christianity and Catholicism, so they don't like 13 and Fridays and are afraid of being asked about their political status, religious beliefs and work level. If you have just arrived in New Zealand, you must be careful not to ask these questions when communicating with the locals, otherwise the conversation may be very unpleasant.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) cultural differences

New Zealanders generally live a relaxed and straightforward life, but they must make an appointment in advance to meet people and pay more attention to personal privacy. Therefore, it is best not to talk about property, age and other issues, especially the language of evaluating appearance. New immigrants must know in advance. At the same time, New Zealanders also love sports, especially rugby. Taking part in sports is a good way to make friends and blend in.
