    like i said, my grandparents generation where strongly discouraged speaking maori...because it would be better for them in the "white world" if they didnt. didnt happen everywhere but thats why we never learned as kids...my oldest son is learning at school

    Our landscape and scenery..breathtaking.

    That is why New Zealand is my #1 place I want to go to!

    I imagine beautiful coastlines and unspoiled interior landscapes. And not too crowded.

    the way we perform on a global scale considering how small and far away we are - 4.5million
