Best kept NEW ZEALAND secrets - what NO ONE will tell you! 

We also got rid of of 5c coins as well.

An very important factor you touched upon is Kiwi's being relaxed (laid-back) and not living in fear. Having lived and worked (as a Kiwi) in other countries I can identify with this (as many of the countries were in conflict). We do not have to fear an aggressive neighbouring country with a mutual border, our kids being gunned-down at High-School, being bitten by venomous insects or animals, fear of a melt-down at the nuclear power plant etc etc. Some of this is due to our geography and natural flora and fauna, however most of it is a result of the people and institutions and culture. In the USA (a country that seems to promote fear to keep gun-sales up and to justify an obscene defence budget) I was shocked how fearful people are. People "needing" guns because they are fearful of being unable to "defend themselves", fear of other cultures or religions (i.e. Islam), job insecurity, fear of being sick and being unable to afford the user-pays healthcare, fear of "those guys over there" because they have a different skin colour or drive a certain car or live in a particular "hood" I would be interested, fear of someone who has a different accent, political view...the list goes on. I would be interested to hear your take on what American's fear as opposed to Kiwi's.

It's only mostly rural homes on tank water. In city and towns people are on town supply

There are a lot of comments about rain water. I agree that many houses collect rain water, but it's mostly to have an independent supply in case of a natural disaster. Urban housing is using rain water to wash the car, water the garden etc. We use town supply for drinking, cooking and washing.

Girl how do you not have at LEAST 10k subscribers yet😭 Keep making these videos, we NEED this info

3:10 LOLWUT??? The vast majority of people do NOT use rainwater for their water supply.

Don't teach your dog to chase birds, thank you.

It's only 20% of houses on tank water, rest on town water.

Haha! Had a crap day at work today, and me thinks I'm heading to a great weekend after watching this. 😳🤣🤣

Great video! You mention the road signs here with sheep on them. I really like the ones in Canada and the States with *moose* on them ( I looooove moose! ).

No, MOST New Zealand homes are on council infrastructure. Some Out of town homes have rainwater tanks. Rare

The billionaires will ruin everything, just a matter of time!

"Drive wise, save lives"...good on ya mate!

The best thing about New Zealand we have no snakes

I think you will find that in cities and towns water supplies are on mains supply. Even where we live on a rural block we have good quality town supply. Tank water is convenient, if limited, depending on rainfall, but it can carry infection if collected from the roof which birds tend to use as communal toilets. It pays to have your supply checked and if possible treated if used for drinking etc. Some years ago during water shortages some city dwellers had tanks put in, largely as back up for garden use when limits were placed on hose and sprinkler use.

Hi again Morgan, living in Wellington we have a great butchery called Direct Meats. The first time I ever did an online meat delivery from them I incorrectly picked the incorrect Wellington suburb for the delivery charge as the boundary was unclear. I had no idea but they obviously picked it up from our delivery address. Instead of keeping the overpayment, they alerted me to my error and put 500gms of extra bacon in my delivery. Superb customer service!

The great thing about New Zealand, my country Australia and an entire 9% of the world population celebrates Christmas and New Year in summer. Wr can have BBQ on Christmas day and watch the fireworks on NYE at the beach ⛱️

Possibly your most upbeat video yet Morgan! Love what you do and how you do it! I think Mr Barkley agrees.👍🏻 So hoping you'll enjoy your Kiwi Xmas.

Sir Murray Halberg passed away today., 😞 Sir ledg.

Most houses? No way do most houses have rain water tanks. My sister's house does. They have a bore as well. But they live on a farm

We got rid of the 5 cent coin too, so if you're paying cash round to the nearest 10

The Black Cox? 😂

New Zealand actually has oil and oil Reserves we even have a huge oil refinery at Marsden Point built by the Government

GMO's - they are not banned outright in NZ. They require MPI approval and MPI has never approved any seed for use for commercially grown crops that will be sold retail in NZ. GMO's are grown in NZ for export and GMO crops from outside NZ are imported and sold retail. Customer Service - is better than the US, but hardly stellar. If you have a difficult problem or just get someone having a bad day then you're screwed, just like in the US. Rainwater. *Most* people in New Zealand do NOT use rainwater collection systems. They are the exception, not the rule. In parts of the country you *couldn't* bury the tanks for rainwater - most of Canterbury, for example, because the water table is too high to put something like that in the ground. Alternative Therapies. None of the ones you mentioned are "alternative". Physiotheraphy is a science. Shit like chiropractic or homeopathy are "alternative" because they are based on no demonstrated science, but if you really want to waste the tax payers money on quackery then you can, sadly. Pennies. Nope. You round to the nearest 10 cents because NZ got rid of the 5 cent coin at the same time it got rid of the 1 cent and 2 cent, as well as the paper $1 and $2, which switched to coins.

Thank you. After another young American couple complained about customer service here, it shocked me and upset me, because I have rarely had an issue.

Make a phone call to a business or even your doctor and you get to stay on hold for ages listening to horrible muzak then many times you end up talking to someone in a foreign country with an extremely thick accent making getting help difficult.

I read this about no penny, on S-Money: "New Zealand has banished the one, two, and five cent coins. Instead, most items ending with costs between one and four cents are rounded down while those ending in six to nine cents are rounded up." So what do you do when the total ends in "five"?

Good to see you being Kiwi-ised, "Sweet as"

Very entertaining as always.....chur

Love it. Welcome to my - our awesome country! !!!

stop giving away out secrets, lady...

Hi, how much we need to pay for health insurance(employee work visa or PR )?

I dont know. I always found the customer service to be pretty average. Maybe it's because I live in a city?

I mean yeah we get treats in packages all the time. I get chocolates every time i buy stuff for my cat.

West Auckland, have duck crossing signs

Rainwater? Hardly. Vast majority not.

Physio? Not mainstream? That’s a new concept. And message and acupuncture aren’t even seen as alternative really here either. As a kiwi I’d say alternative is chiropractor, maybe reiki healing ? Even those although not mainstream aren’t seen as too out there either

if you take your video PASSED the ten minutes, youtube pays better, so I've been told.

We actually got rid of the 5-cent piece. Another thing I love is that the price you is the price you pay. Taxes are already added to the price. So you don't go to the checkout and you don't find out you have to pay about amount om top of the price.

I've had K-bars, lollipops, cat treats, stickers, and peanut slabs slipped into my packages over the last few years.

We also got rid of 5c coins many years ago! You round up...or down....to the nearest 10c. And most people regard the 10c piece as a nuisance (I only use them for parking machines).

NZ use to have 1 cent coins = 12 lollies and $1 notes as well.

Here's a Tip visit the Te Aroha geothermal hot springs and mineral pools

*except gmo has been happening ever since the beginning of agriculture and hautaculture.

The extra holiday time is recent, back in the day it was about 10 days

“Please don’t litter, keep New Zealand beautiful” and “merge like a zip” these road signs stuck with me all my life😅

lol, hard case as usual.😁

SHEEP SHEEP 🐑 😂

I love how the duck come in right on q

Actually nzs hydrocarbon resources aren't small, oil at.one point was our 5th largest export

Very funny video. Glad you are enjoying new Zealand. We welcome you. You have the attitude that we want in New New Zealanders. Our country is very small and unimportant in the world but we do pride ourselves on the little country we have built.

😅

Three thumbs up! If only I could!

A lot of Asians and some Europeans play badminton in New Zealand.

Most houses are on mains supply. It's actually quite hard with local councils to be able to use rain water. Usually rural.

great videos

And congratulations on your marriage!

There’s no 5c either anymore

Don't mess with the our Black Cox

Sheep, sheep, sheep 🤣🤣🤣🤣

All our sports teams are black , white or silver lol or after animals and plants

What does it take to be a citizen in NZ as a US citizen

We don't have 5 cent coins as well as 1 and 2 cent coins. Only rural homes have water tanks and bores for their water. Most have town or city water supply.

Spring water is the best. I like your bubblyness.

Yeah, I think there is something about new houses getting rain water tanks. I want one just for watering the garden. Great video.

Where you from in usa ?

Very funny video thanks

5 cent coins are gone now too.

Love her sense of humor "sheep"

A few companies I work with have sometimes included things like stickers or a bag of microwaveable popcorn with what I ordered.

It's not that we don't have homelessness ..it's that we have social welfare to help people in need..in nz we don't blame the homeless we help them..I find American media tend to villainise the homeless instead of addressing the reasoning behind it.. Also weird will still charge 99c for things when we haven't had 1,2or 5 cents for decades😅 Don't let out all our secrets🤫

I can't wait to get there in about 6 months ❤ love NZ 😊 beleive it or not. Most of the homless in NZ aren't really from there.

Kiwis don't keep secrets lol

No one would dare attack nz bad idea

NZ is a weird place where Christmas is in Summer, people drive on the wrong side of the road, and AR-15 rifles are banned.

Excuse us while we all chill out here in paradise.....

Wen are you coming back to America it safer here no shooting much more beautiful see you back in America soon

Im sorry but Peter Teal can get out, and billionaires can go find somewhere else to plunder Maori are the true owners of this land and its real name is Aotearoa

Lots of billionairs with lots of homeless people living in cars
