Do you know these 15 aspects of New Zealand?

There is no denying that New Zealand is a pure land, and it attracts many China students. So do you really know New Zealand? Let's take a look at these 15 aspects of New Zealand. Maybe you will be surprised.

1. Life configuration in New Zealand = convenience of domestic second-tier cities+beautiful living environment in China in the last century.

The pace of life in New Zealand is slow, and the convenience of life is equivalent to that of second-tier cities in China. People who want to develop often go to Australia. But the living environment is first-class, and seeing rainbows is as common as seeing clouds. Of course, it is a rare sight in the imperial city.

Second, there are really few people in New Zealand, and even the most beautiful national road is called "the road to the forgotten world".

National Highway 43 in New Zealand, known as the "Lost Road of the World", is located on the west coast of North Island, with a total length of 155 kilometers, and all along the way are unspoiled green vegetation. Super suitable for go on road trip, the biggest feature is to experience the "lost world". However, it is quite unpopular, there are few tourists, and sheep don't appreciate it.

Third, there are so many Chinese in New Zealand that they are called the fifth largest ethnic group in New Zealand.

At first, most Chinese immigrants to New Zealand were gold diggers in Guangdong, and then more of them came to New Zealand through family reunion as "refugees". In 1944, after the unremitting efforts of the Chinese, the New Zealand government officially abolished the "poll tax" for the Chinese. Three years later, Chinese "refugees" who fled the war or reunited with their overseas relatives began to obtain permanent residency.

Fourth, New Zealand has the clearest starry sky in the world.

New Zealand has the most beautiful starry place in the world-the small town of Tekapo. In order to arouse the world's awareness of the importance of clear starry sky, in 25, the town applied to UNESCO for the establishment of "Starry Nature Reserve". The night sky in Tekapo is quiet and bright, with stars in it. The Milky Way and large constellations are clearly visible. You can see the Southern Cross, which can only be observed in the southern hemisphere. If you are lucky, you can also see meteors crossing the night sky, which makes people feel like they are in a fairy tale world.

5. The smallest penguin in the world is not in Antarctica, but in New Zealand.

There are three kinds of penguins in New Zealand: the yellow-eyed penguin, the world's smallest penguin, the blue penguin and the fjord crested penguin. Naive, can't help laughing.

6. Gays in the Asia-Pacific region, welcome to New Zealand to get married.

New Zealand is the first country in the Asia-Pacific region to recognize same-sex marriage. As early as 1986, New Zealand recognized the legalization of homosexuality. Since 25, New Zealand laws have once again given a green light to homosexuality, allowing civil unions between the same sex. The amendment passed in 213 clearly stipulates: "Marriage is the union of two people regardless of the sex, sexual orientation or gender identity of the parties." New Zealand recognized the legality of same-sex marriage in legal form for the first time, and it will take effect in mid-August 213.

7. New Zealanders love animals deeply. After all, only 5% of the population is human, and the rest are animals.

They have special feelings for dogs. It is illegal to abuse dogs and cats. Dogs are equal to people, and it is illegal to discriminate against dogs. If you feed your dog leftovers and are reported by your neighbors, the relevant animal protection organizations will come to investigate and collect evidence, and then take your dog away, because feeding your dog leftovers is discrimination against dogs. Even if kiwi bird can't fly, they still regard it as a national bird. Walking on the road, kiwi can compete with others for food.

8. In New Zealand, going out barefoot is the correct way to go out.

Running around barefoot is a common thing in New Zealand. Students go home barefoot after school, many people shop barefoot in the supermarket, and people trim flowers and trees barefoot in the garden, regardless of gender.

9. New Zealanders take care of this matter.

New Zealand's "Pacific Rim" cuisine style: Cafes and restaurants all over the country offer cuisines that combine local characteristics. Foreign cuisines include Japanese, Indian, Muslim, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Malaysian and Thai. There are more than 9 Asian restaurants in New Zealand. Anyway, when I get there, I will never be homesick for eating this thing.

1. A strange hamburger without kiwi fruit.

Kiwi Burger, the most characteristic hamburger in New Zealand, is sandwiched between beef patties and bread with fried eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and red beetroot slices, but there are no kiwis.

Xi. New Zealand named streets with twelve constellations. Oh, no, only eleven, no cancer.

There are Pisces, Lions, Virgos, Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius in GlenEden. Taurus and Gemini are on the north shore of Beach Haven, and your constellations are adjacent to the street with the same name. Scorpio Street is in Winsor Park. Aries, go to Shelly Park. Sagittarius Road is not in Oakland, so you should go to Waikato to find it. Cancer doesn't cry, and there is no street called Cancer in the whole country.

12. New Zealand has chocolate fish, one of the strangest sweets in the world. Don't worry, there is no fishy smell.

Chocolate fish is a unique candy in New Zealand. Generally, a chocolate fish is 1 to 15 cm long, with white or pink cotton candy inside and milk chocolate icing outside. Cadbury is the most famous one. Super-large or super-small chocolate fish is also called herring candy. Chocolate fish also appears in Kiwi's proverb. "Give him a chocolate fish" means to reward someone.

XIII. In New Zealand, cuckolders are being worn.

March 17th, when everyone is competing for the cuckold, is St. Patrick's Day in Ireland. It is said that St. Paul was the first saint to introduce Christianity into Ireland, and this religious festival was also spread by Irish immigrants all over the world. For the Christians who are forbidden to drink, this day is a carnival time to lift the prohibition and open up. New Zealand has a large number of Irish descendants, so elements such as clover are decorated all over the country.

14. In China, puppy love is 16 years old, and in New Zealand, it is the legal age for marriage.

Although the legal age of marriage is still 18 years old, in order to respect the cultural habits of early marriage of Pacific island people, couples can get married aboveboard if they are over 16 years old and get permission from their parents. But before the age of 18, the couple are not eligible for legal cohabitation, and they still need to live with their guardians-so don't think about it, lolicon.

15. Thank the Europeans, otherwise New Zealanders will only have bats to play with.

Before Europeans brought cats and dogs, the only mammals in New Zealand were bats. The short-tailed bat unique to New Zealand is one of the smallest bats in the world. It is about the size of your thumb, about 5-6 cm long, and its wings are only 3 cm long. It is one of the most mysterious species in New Zealand, and scientists don't even know how long its life span is.
