I asked a table full of lovely Americans (none of whom had traveled outside their home town - Erie) where they thought New Zealand was... The concensus was somewhere round Alaska. No wonder some Americans think they are the world.Yes, that is something about the Yanks that amuses me. They put on the World Series but just forget to invite the world. They think that America IS the world.
And ask them where New Zealand is? They don't know where many of the places in their own country are!
But my experience is that they are very nice and very welcoming even if they are somewhat misled.
But I certainly would not like to live there with their attitude towards guns. They had 33 mass shootings last month alone! I think I'll stick to out of the way New Zealand, even if it is somewhere around Alaska.
