    From a New Zealander, we really appreciate this video man, trust me, whenever we hear our country named anywhere we get all excited because we’re hardly ever mentioned 😂 And as a Maori half cast, I also want to say thank you for putting in the obvious effort to try and pronounce our words correctly, we really do appreciate that, and I apologise for the people who are giving you shit for your pronunciation, they don’t understand that you didn’t grow up with the language and that you’re only just now learning. It all comes with practice. Cheers mate 🤙🏽

    I miss this place so much. I’m Korean but I spent 18 months of my formative years in Christchurch. It’s not long but there are a handful of lasting crystal clear memories that I cherish. Most of my earliest memories are from my time there.
    I miss the blue skies, the Real minced meat pies (I later learned the rest of the world except Australia were calling dried fruit pies that. Disappointing as raisons in a cookie), animals everywhere, paua necklaces, the beach and the whales and seals, and just letting the wind move my body. It’s an idealised image through the eyes of a child, but still.

    Personally as a New Zealander, I reckon you guys did better than most at not butchering our place names *for the most part*, a couple of things to point out would be that we call the North Island and South Island literally "The North Island" or "The South Island", also the big mountain chain of the North Island that goes from Wellington to Gisborne is called the Axial Ranges, Kaweka is one part of it. Imo there were probably a few cooler things to mention in the attractions like Coromandel or the longest place name from the start of the video, as well as all the comments I've seen about Taika Waititi. Overall great job of explaining our history and culture, one thing I noticed was missing was NZ's efforts in galipolli during WW1, which is kind of a big deal over here every ANZAC day.
