The donation for mufti would be a gold coin which is either $1 or $2 but honestly not that many schools make you pay and if they did it's highly likely it would be optional. And I had no idea you don't eat from the cabinets in America!! Cabinet food is literally in every cafe haha but generally you wouldn't grab it yourself unless you're in a bakery where it's more common to grab it yourself (barefoot in a bakery grabbing your food is such a normal thing!)
It's been a long time since I was at any school, but we never had to pay anything on mufti days. There wasn't even a suggestion. It was just... a day you didn't have to wear the uniform.
mufti day in our school in NZ was a gold coin donation, which was $1-2 dollars which is probably 50 cents -$1 american, and it was fun because you could wear what you wanted instead of a normal school uniform. the thing is it was a donation and you didn't have to pay it if your family couldn't afford to. they never sent any student home that couldn't pay.
Yeah, I live at the bottom of the North Island and all winter I both have my windows open all night and wear shorts all day (I'm not saying everyone does that, I just like things particularly cool). That is, however, except when the southerlies start. Then I close my window and regret not owning any long pants. There's a reason why you can buy special woolen tops called icebreakers. That wind is like ICE all over you.
Bro who told you there's no water in the toilet in NZ? Of course there's water in the toilet! Must've been some aussie huh? 🤣🤣 that's crazy man. Funny as hell though.
There is a point that I haven't seen yet. YOU CAN NOT BE SUED in New Zealand. Yes you can be criminally charged for breaking laws and by laws but you cannot have a member of the public just decide its your fault their bodies, spirit or feelings got hurt and have them sue you. This opens possibilities for the average person to relax and try stuff.
We can get 4 seasons in one day and I believe we are one of the only countries that have 4 biomes dessert, sand dunes, deep forest and snow all on one island. Our Christmas is in the summer so we do drink just not eggnog cause its hot as fuck around that time.
Eggs in the US are cleaned because the chicken poop on them typically contains salmonella, as most US egg farms do not vaccinate their chickens so touching the eggs can make you sick. In NZ and many other countries, egg-laying chickens are vaccinated against salmonella (which US farms don't want to pay for), sometimes even as a legal requirement, which means you won't get sick from touching the eggs and thus they don't need to be cleaned, preserving their natural wax coating that keeps the egg fresh. This is also the reason why Americans are told not to eat raw cookie dough, because raw eggs can be contaminated with salmonella, whereas in New Zealand this is typically not a problem due to the vaccination.
Mate you asked what us kiwis thought about people reacting to NZ. personally it makes me fill with pride we're not perfect but for a small country we fight above our weight.when you get here I'll cook you baked beans 🤣stay safe bro 🇳🇿👍
New Zealand, although its an island you will find most of the tropical weather in the north island the more south you go the colder is it because New Zealand is just above Antarctica. So in winter our southern winds come from Antarctica
NZ is equidistant from the Equator (4,547.94 km or 2,825.96 miles) and Antarctica (4,868 km or 3,100 miles) hence the temperate climate, warm-hot in summer, warm in the north, freezing in the south (because of the arctic blast,wind chill factor) in winter. It's the flush that washes most of the fresh deposits from the sides of the bowl, however not everyone flushes when they're finished so it's usually the dried crap that's a bit more stubborn, kinda like an artist signing their artwork🤣.
It's like you're going to the sink and you wash your plate, then your mum wash her cup. Or you take your own water. Also it is cold, therefore food last longer....eggs are not all brown 😃. We have water in toilets😅. We have long drops however they're on farms or hunting shacks
Soon after eggs pop out of the chicken, American producers put them straight to a machine that shampoos them with soap and hot water. The steamy shower leaves the shells squeaky clean. But it also compromises them, by washing away a barely visible sheen that naturally envelops each egg. The egg is a marvel in terms of protecting itself, and one of the protections is this coating, which prevents them from being porous,
Talking on the power switches, it's encourages to preserve energy here. There was a period where people I knew turned damn near everything off at the wall excluding the fridge to get the lowest powerbill possible lol. And some power companies give you a free hour of power (you pick the time). Which is pretty cool.
Most of the world sell their egg from a store shelf and they remain unrefrigerated when you take them home, only a handful of countries refrigerate their eggs. The washing of eggs removes a protective coating left by the chicken, when the eggs are laid. Therefore they are usually good for about two weeks, on the shelf. Washed eggs are liable to allow bacteria in, so they have to be refrigerated. Christmas crackers, mince pies, fruit cake are all part of a traditional British Christmas, and therefore many commonwealth countries all retain a lot of these customs.
@@Twano2am It’s a great history lesson….by 1913 The UK controlled 23% of the world’s population. India used to be the jewel in its crown. If you ever travel to the UK you must see the Crown Jewels. Huge Diamonds, rubies, emeralds etc. and largely from India. I’m Canadian of Scottish, British and Welsh descent so I have no problem with retaining certain customary foods and some habits. This is also why you will find a special bond between, NZ., AUS., Can., and the UK. that may possibly lead to a union in the future called CANZUCK.
lots of us like our ties to England.. sure some parts of history suck but we were lucky to be last and after slavery was abolished.. i feel like obviously its still similar in ways... but others its very different..
Mufti day is normally a gold coin donation. It’s normally always for fundraising. My kids school do it to raise money for charity or 1 year was to try lower camp fees so families who struggle to pay can get help so all kids get to go. I’ve never personally had an instance of there being issues with kid not paying. Also moneys usually collected in a way that kids don’t know if others haven’t payed. Different cities may be a little different though. In Hamilton alot of our primary schools aren’t in uniform so we have themed days like blue clothes day to raise money and awareness for kids with diabetes or Pj day where we donate a gold coin, teddy bear or even pjs that all gets dropped of to the children’s ward at the hospital ( this is collected by dropping it off outside the office so again kids don’t feel bad if they can’t). NZ is all about our community. At the school I work at we have a local church who drops lunches of for kids who can’t afford food, a local dairy drops bread off and supplies spreads so we can feed kids breakfast who doesn’t have the luxury of breakfast. We have a retirement village who knits slippers which kids can go help them selves to so that they can keep warm during winter and in turn schools do our part to support our local community programs too not just monetary but working bees (painting away graffiti or going to the retirement home once or twice a year and read to them or put on a play.) Just like every country we don’t always get it right but as long as love and respect is our focus we are on the right path. Also worm pee never heard of it 😂
The dessert you are thinking of is Pavlova is made from egg whites and sugar beaten till extremely thick then piled high on a baking sheet and cooked at a low heat until the outside is like meringue and the inside is like marshmallow then topped with real whipped cream and fresh fruit great for Christmas out here due to the heat The other thing you would find strange is that rental properties don't come with fridge, washer, microwave. You buy your own and take it when you move. Rentals can also start on any day of the week instead of the 1st of the month
Yeah we don't have no water in the toilet, but it's a lot less. Before I went to the US I didn't understand how a human being could overflow a toilet. It sounded like a quantity of poo only a cow or elephant could make. 🤣But yeah, in NZ toilets are like 20% full of water, in the US they're like 80% full. Wastes a lot of water in my opinion.
Office people (in NZ) love coffee, it's how we show eachother appreciation in a corporate world. The most I've had in an 8hr period was 5 😬. We really have no chill when it comes to coffee lol.
A lot of food we have was a result of international influence 😊. Also if you ever try marmite, the ratio on your toast is 70-80% butter and 30-20% marmite. A little really does go along way 😂. It is NOT like Nutella.
Answer to coffee….. its a social thing, catch up with friends and family and have a coffee same as catching up and having a drink of alc….. coffee more excepted during the day than alc
Thanks for posting Part 2 Tara from Kiwi Americans, helps Americans immigrate to NZ. She owns a consulting business. I’ve been following her channel for a while. Pretty interesting about the cabinet food in our cafes. The food is made fresh, usually daily, before the cafe opens. When you get to NZ and go to a cafe, you will be impressed with the freshness and quality of what you can get from the ‘cabinet food’ I know what she’s talking about in the USA where that is display food in the cabinet. Probably best not to eat that or you’ll be needing a toilet (with water) ASAP 🚽💩
A friend of mine who is an American he is married to a kiwi and the time he had over here he never wanted to leave. His actual word was... Living here is paradise. He told me stories at how it was at America and bro im shocked. Takecare much love be safe no matter where your from. ✌
The switches do nothing for saving power. The purpose of the switch is so the little ones don't get electrocuted when they poke something in the wall socket
@@GregoryFache it's nothing to do wirh saving power. The switches were invented well before modern appliances with standby were invented. It is absolutely correct that it is to save the little ones from being electrocuted. If you want to save power you switch appliance off not the switch on the wall socket
@mattieclan8957 no it doesn't. Turning off the alliance is what saves money. Turning off the appliance and the switch at the wall doesn't nothing more than Turning off the appliance
There is now a ban on caged hens in NZ. There are strict rules like there must not be more than 9 hens per square meter in the barn environment on a free-range farm. It is important that all hens are provided with an 8-hour period of darkness every 24-hours to help them to rest and sleep properly
Using the same water to wash dishes, might have been to conserve water. When the water gets “chunky, yuck” I’d imagine it would be changed, emptied and refilled. Hanging washing on the line is practical and free. We have water in our toilets, maybe your thinking of a long drop toilet? A lot of people walk barefooted, but it’s least common these days. A cousin of mine used to hitch hike up and down Aotearoa (NZ) barefooted he loved being connected to the whenua (land) that way.
Mufti day is a donation but not compulsory. It’s completely optional. The money goes towards new books for the school library or for new computers etc.
Mufti day was $2 when I was growing up. And it was usually to raise money for things the kids wanted to do, like field trips and stuff. Also you wouldn't get in trouble if you couldn't afford it. And MUFTI is a real word!!
Lmfaoo at the mufti thing, it was only $1 the most I've ever paid for mufti was $2 and it's only once or twice A YEAR 😂😂 we'll at least it was for the intermediate and college I went to 😂😂😂😂
@@Twano2am pretty much man back in 2004 only Intermediates (ages 11 - 12) & Colleges (ages 12 - 18) had mandatory uniform wear all through the school years. So all mufti was & is, is a 2 or 1 dollar coin for a fashion show that we get to chose what to wear & walking to class, lunch or anywhere within the school grounds was the runway lol money goes to what ever the event is for 😂😂 It felt awesome to wear something besides a uniform..
Hahahahha 🤣 most of the food in the cabinets are freshly made in the morning. We hang the washing on the line because it's expensive to dry our clothes. Power prices are expensive and keep rising 🤦🏽♀️. Our country has bipolar weather. It could be summer, raining and muggy 😂 Eggs - depends where you get it from. If it's free range, or from a farm can be different colours.
Bruh 🤦🏽♀️ We have water in our toilet bro, 😂😂 duno where u got that info from. Damn duno about rules, but that's just the norm here switches and sheit. We getting there tho bro, nz tryna turn into a mini usa.
I had a young American asked for a job on our farm years ago. He had no idea what a clothesline was. It’s healthier to have your clothes outside. Sunlight is a natural sanitiser, and bleacher. Most of us have clothes dryers too when the weather is crap. Only lazy people use a dryer all the time.
Mince Pies Are Bussin. Its like a cheap meal you can have for breakfast lunch and dinner. There's also Bacon and Egg, seafood and butter chicken pies. We rarely have any fruit pies (apple pie etc)
People under estimate the size of New Zealand, it's almost the length of America's entire eastern coast 😂 I was kinda surprised as well and I live here.
your advice with: taking your clothes of till legal limit and sitting in sun for 20 mins to recharge. Its good advice from a New Zealander, You will get your sunburnt anytime of the year. In summer we have a national burn time and that's normally between 5 - 10 mins without being covered up , covered up meaning hat, sunglasses and sunscreen, cause of hole in the ozone layer above New Zealand and Australia. Also we do have water in out toilets we just don't fill them really high, water stays at the bottle. who what's to do a shit and the water splash you.
Twano really out here dissing our “white kiwi cake” Pavlova, trust me it’s not nasty, if you get a store brought one yeah it’s all processed ect but a home made one is the best thing you’ll take in a while bro fr
15 mins and you can be badly sunburned here. We're pretty close to Antartica. There is water in the loo, just not as much as the U.S. Mufti isn't always cash, you can bring a can of food instead to donate to the foodbank
Auckland is one of the most diverse cities in the world. South Island is less diverse. So plenty of different cultures here in the most populated areas. Very diverse. The cabinet food isn't accessible to the public. Our health rules are strict. It is just that the food in the cabinet is the food available for the day so the shop server takes the food direct out of the cabinet. What do you mean we have no water in our toilets? lol. Of course we do! What the hell? Who been telling you lies? Never had to pay for mufti day in my school years. Plus, they can't make you make a donation in NZ schools. Even the yearly fees are not enforceable. Mufti is English slang for not wearing a uniform. And, as an agricultural country, we take our fertilizers seriously. You need different mixes for different plant types. Got to specify what sort of fertilizer you are selling.
New Zealand may be an island but it is long like from Canada to Arizona but it is inverted the south is colder and the north is warmer , I live in the top of the north island which is sub tropical, in the south island it snows in winter.
We do have water in the toilet but just on the bottom of the bowl. We don't fill it to the rim like the U.S. where your ass cheeks just about touch the water lol
Part 2 from a Kiwi: 11) I don't drink coffee so no comment from me on this one. I've never once bought a coffee. 12) Again I don't go to camps but I do know while safety is important here in NZ, it's not regulated to the same extent as the USA. Primarily because here in NZ whoever owns the campground or whatever can't be sued just because you fell over and broke your ankle. Whereas that's exactly what someone would try in the US. You do what you deem safe for yourself and your family. 13) Usually the best stuff from a cafe is in the cabinets. It's also great if you want something to eat but don't have the time to wait in the queue for them to cook it for you. 14) Yeah hang your clothes on the line if you can. It's better for them. Sure takes a bit more effort but sunlight is far better than heat from a dryer for the health of your clothes. I don't know why she says she's frowned upon for using one though. Most families either have or have access to one. Everyone uses them at some point. 15) I believe the US washes the eggs because that's what the consumer wants (or what they believe they want). Because the consumer doesn't want to see all the shit and dirt etc. Nice clean eggs. But when they put them through the cleaning process it takes away some of the natural protective coating eggs have, requiring them to be refrigerated and not last as long. In NZ you will often see the dirt and crap on some of your eggs. It's all natural! 16) Don't know where you heard we don't have water in the toilets. We don't have nearly as much in the US (as in how high it's filled) cause that's a waste of water. The only toilets in NZ you will find without water in them are long drops which are common in rural/hiking areas. 17) The main reason our outlets have switches is because of the voltage our electricity runs at. In the US I believe it's 110-120V whereas in NZ (and most of the developed world) it's 240V. The switches are to prevent arcing when plugging in/taking out. It is also useful of course to stop waste of electricity to appliances you have turned off instead of unplugging them. 18) Mufti day is super common with schools. Any school that has uniforms will do it. It is for fundraising for charities and you only need to do a $1 or $2 gold coin donation. So super cheap and gives something to charity and the kids get to wear their own clothes to school for the day. You should know it's not a requirement. There are always exceptions and the kids can just wear the uniform if you don't want to pay. I'd say at least 95% of the students come to school in mufti on those days though so it is hard for the kids that don't get to be cause they're parents didn't support it or wanted to pay that measly $1. 19) Can't say I know of worm wee. I do know of Caulk though. You should check out those NZ ads. They're hilarious. Search "NZ Caulk ads" Anyway at school we often had "car boot sales". I'm not sure if what she's referring to has something to do with that or not. 20) Never had eggnog. There are so many similar products though cause it's pretty basic recipe. Bonus Christmas: 1) Yeah they're Christmas crackers. Because they crack when you break them. They always have a paper coloured crown, and a shitty joke you've heard before. The better ones also give you a shitty toy. 2) The Christmas mince pies aren't meat. It's a fruit mince in sweet pastry that's baked. If you like raisins/prunes you would like it. Very sweet though so will make you sick quick if you eat too many. 3) The thing with strawberries your thinking of is Pavlova. It's an incredibly airy/light dessert. Its basically whipped up egg whites/sugar that's baked very slowly. Some people don't like them but most Kiwis love it. I know I do. Cover it up in whipped cream it is one of the nicest desserts out there if it's made right. But its sort of like a souffle. You gotta get it right. Or just buy from the store.
Mufti day is usually a gold coin ($1 or $2 coin) donation that can go towards fundraising for the school or a charity. Lately my son's school has changed it to bringing in something non perishable to donate to the local food bank.
So.. our toilets have water just less; the dry ones are festivals camping etc . Our eggs are fresh daily.... that's why they don't need a fridge yet; to fresh for fridge...I turn off all plugs if not using it... saves power and safer for electrical fires. Only my fridge /alarm/ hot water cylinder are on when out... mufti clothes is usually for fundraising for the school or charity..I pay $2 a week for mufti for charity in community..they let it slide but it's in good faith.... we also call plan clothes cops "mufti cops" haha
"Go get some sun" Spot the guy who grew up in the part of the world without a hole in the Ozone layer. There is water in the toilet. It's just not 20 litres, more like 2.
The difference in toilet water between us and the US is because when we flush the toilet a whole lot of water pushes down from a tank above. In the US its the suction of the huge amount of water that is supposed to do the work. Ours works better and very rarely would you get a blocked toilet here. Kids shoving things down the toilet yes that happens but otherwise its pretty clean.
Worm wee is from worm farming. You farm worms in dirt. You feed the worms. From that liquid comes out that you use to fertilise. That's why it's called worm wee lol.
Lol we have water in our toilets. So funny. We just don't waste water by having the toilet full of water. That the difference, but there is water in there haha, just not as much. :)
Mufti day back in the day people use to dress up in costumes like people in America do for Halloween it's just that people have forgotten where concept of mufti day came from and worm wee is called worm castings
So she's in Wellington which is very windy cause it's close to the gap between the 2 islands so all the wind that is coming around from the roaring forties gets funneled through and so it's really windy and were by Antarctica so it's cold and windy and then Wellington region it never gets cold enough for snow to fall and stay so basically it's cold windy and rainy with no snow in winter so annoying. Then you got the old people up north on the tauranga area they basically get no wind just nice and then down south is where you get lots of snow it's real weird
New Zealand has two big islands (big compared to Barbados for sure!!) and one of them is pretty close relatively speaking to Antarctica (where the south pole is). So just like places close to the North Pole, they too would get marked variations in temperature.
Dude, what you talking about!!! There is water in the toilet it's just not filled to the top, it's just quarter fill with water. Free ranger eggs means NO GAGED chickens, free range eggs are from chickens that roam free in the chicken farm and come in to feed sleep etc.
I was so surprised when she was recording that I just didn't hear wind on the microphone the whole time when she's in Wellington I mean that is a good day
Hey twano, about coffee , it's about many shops many roasters ,finding the shop with your flavour mixed with , Visibility ,to be seen drinking it..lol..yet me I like strong cheap lots of cow and throw in a mocha sachet , beat it until it frother.. NZ yum.. Kiwis love coffee for Blind sake, not health or energy, sitting in Hit sun drinking $8.00 coffee no problem.. Hope that helps !? .

mufti day in our school in NZ was a gold coin donation, which was $1-2 dollars which is probably 50 cents -$1 american, and it was fun because you could wear what you wanted instead of a normal school uniform.
the thing is it was a donation and you didn't have to pay it if your family couldn't afford to. they never sent any student home that couldn't pay.
You've never felt the cold until you've had a southerly wind blowing up from Antarctica. Trust me my bro it gets cold here.

The dessert you are thinking of is Pavlova is made from egg whites and sugar beaten till extremely thick then piled high on a baking sheet and cooked at a low heat until the outside is like meringue and the inside is like marshmallow then topped with real whipped cream and fresh fruit great for Christmas out here due to the heat
The other thing you would find strange is that rental properties don't come with fridge, washer, microwave. You buy your own and take it when you move. Rentals can also start on any day of the week instead of the 1st of the month
Woah do you get that for free in US?
@@criticee101 every show including real estate shows all places have the white goods in places
No refrigerator with the apartment 😳😳😳 ohmygod
Yeah that’s not true. Some rental properties don’t come with a fridge etc but every rental property my family’s had literally came with all of those
@@impalatauru5886 really lucky lol
Yeah we don't have no water in the toilet, but it's a lot less. Before I went to the US I didn't understand how a human being could overflow a toilet. It sounded like a quantity of poo only a cow or elephant could make. 🤣But yeah, in NZ toilets are like 20% full of water, in the US they're like 80% full. Wastes a lot of water in my opinion.
Never heard anyone say that they wish they had eggnog, that nasty! Ain't no market for that I reckon
Yeah i dont even drink that lol i thought i was apart of the minority on that
Office people (in NZ) love coffee, it's how we show eachother appreciation in a corporate world. The most I've had in an 8hr period was 5 😬. We really have no chill when it comes to coffee lol.
A lot of food we have was a result of international influence 😊. Also if you ever try marmite, the ratio on your toast is 70-80% butter and 30-20% marmite. A little really does go along way 😂. It is NOT like Nutella.
Yes we have water in our toilets lmfao
Answer to coffee….. its a social thing, catch up with friends and family and have a coffee same as catching up and having a drink of alc….. coffee more excepted during the day than alc
Thanks for posting Part 2
Tara from Kiwi Americans, helps Americans immigrate to NZ.
She owns a consulting business.
I’ve been following her channel for a while. Pretty interesting about the cabinet food in our cafes.
The food is made fresh, usually daily, before the cafe opens.
When you get to NZ and go to a cafe, you will be impressed with the freshness and quality of what you can get from the ‘cabinet food’
I know what she’s talking about in the USA where that is display food in the cabinet. Probably best not to eat that or you’ll be needing a toilet (with water) ASAP 🚽💩
Lmao & the display food sometimes looks better than the actual treat
& thank you for tuning in to part 2 🙏
A friend of mine who is an American he is married to a kiwi and the time he had over here he never wanted to leave. His actual word was...
Living here is paradise.
He told me stories at how it was at America and bro im shocked.
Takecare much love be safe no matter where your from. ✌
The switches do nothing for saving power. The purpose of the switch is so the little ones don't get electrocuted when they poke something in the wall socket
Ahhh ok
Wrong ,bad Kiwi. Yes it's to turn off at wall not at device. Devices still work on standby. Save small .
@@GregoryFache it's nothing to do wirh saving power. The switches were invented well before modern appliances with standby were invented. It is absolutely correct that it is to save the little ones from being electrocuted. If you want to save power you switch appliance off not the switch on the wall socket
It does save power turning off from the wall but don't expect power bill to cut in half
@mattieclan8957 no it doesn't. Turning off the alliance is what saves money. Turning off the appliance and the switch at the wall doesn't nothing more than Turning off the appliance
There is now a ban on caged hens in NZ.
There are strict rules like there must not be more than 9 hens per square meter in the barn environment on a free-range farm. It is important that all hens are provided with an 8-hour period of darkness every 24-hours to help them to rest and sleep properly
The bare feet ain't all of us bro. I always tell the kids in my family to wear shoes when they leave the house or they ain't coming lmao
Those glass cabinets at the cafe are refrigerated. So it’s like a fridge with glass walls.
Waiittt.. there is water in our toilets 😭😂😂. I’on know who told you we don’t, but we do 😂
Bro what 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ofc we have water in our toilets LMAOOO
Using the same water to wash dishes, might have been to conserve water. When the water gets “chunky, yuck” I’d imagine it would be changed, emptied and refilled.
Hanging washing on the line is practical and free.
We have water in our toilets, maybe your thinking of a long drop toilet?
A lot of people walk barefooted, but it’s least common these days. A cousin of mine used to hitch hike up and down Aotearoa (NZ) barefooted he loved being connected to the whenua (land) that way.
Mufti day is a donation but not compulsory. It’s completely optional. The money goes towards new books for the school library or for new computers etc.
I like it when u say whop whoops….. crack up as bro
Noodles on toast, meat pie in a bread, chippies/potato crisps in bread, McDonald's chicken nuggets and fries with caramel sundae sauce and soft serve.
For Mufti day you usually just give a gold coin donation ($1-$2)
Mufti day was $2 when I was growing up. And it was usually to raise money for things the kids wanted to do, like field trips and stuff. Also you wouldn't get in trouble if you couldn't afford it. And MUFTI is a real word!!
Lmfaoo at the mufti thing, it was only $1 the most I've ever paid for mufti was $2 and it's only once or twice A YEAR 😂😂 we'll at least it was for the intermediate and college I went to 😂😂😂😂
Once or twice a YEAR 😳
@@Twano2am pretty much man back in 2004 only Intermediates (ages 11 - 12) & Colleges (ages 12 - 18) had mandatory uniform wear all through the school years. So all mufti was & is, is a 2 or 1 dollar coin for a fashion show that we get to chose what to wear & walking to class, lunch or anywhere within the school grounds was the runway lol money goes to what ever the event is for 😂😂 It felt awesome to wear something besides a uniform..
Mufti to donate on Daffodil day, pink ribbon day etc
Hahahahha 🤣 most of the food in the cabinets are freshly made in the morning.
We hang the washing on the line because it's expensive to dry our clothes. Power prices are expensive and keep rising 🤦🏽♀️.
Our country has bipolar weather. It could be summer, raining and muggy 😂
Eggs - depends where you get it from. If it's free range, or from a farm can be different colours.
Bruh 🤦🏽♀️ We have water in our toilet bro, 😂😂 duno where u got that info from. Damn duno about rules, but that's just the norm here switches and sheit. We getting there tho bro, nz tryna turn into a mini usa.
I had a young American asked for a job on our farm years ago. He had no idea what a clothesline was.
It’s healthier to have your clothes outside.
Sunlight is a natural sanitiser, and bleacher.
Most of us have clothes dryers too when the weather is crap. Only lazy people use a dryer all the time.
Coffee is our way of socialising
Mince Pies Are Bussin. Its like a cheap meal you can have for breakfast lunch and dinner. There's also Bacon and Egg, seafood and butter chicken pies. We rarely have any fruit pies (apple pie etc)
lol fun fact, the sun don't come up at 5am down here lmao.. its hard to get sun in the morning unless its your day off lol
When i wash dishes I fill sink wash then I do a second time when there's no food or that. It's basically like a rinse
all our cabinet food is regulated so its always fresh and the cabinet is either refrigerated so thats why its safe to eat.
People under estimate the size of New Zealand, it's almost the length of America's entire eastern coast 😂 I was kinda surprised as well and I live here.
your advice with: taking your clothes of till legal limit and sitting in sun for 20 mins to recharge. Its good advice from a New Zealander, You will get your sunburnt anytime of the year. In summer we have a national burn time and that's normally between 5 - 10 mins without being covered up , covered up meaning hat, sunglasses and sunscreen, cause of hole in the ozone layer above New Zealand and Australia.
Also we do have water in out toilets we just don't fill them really high, water stays at the bottle. who what's to do a shit and the water splash you.
It's not called worm wee it's called worm feed and it's amazing for marijuana plants lol
Lol no water in the toilet hahaha !!! Lol crack up 🤣😆
No water in the toilets?! Who said that BS?! Theres always water in the toilet! SERIOUSLY!
Twano really out here dissing our “white kiwi cake” Pavlova, trust me it’s not nasty, if you get a store brought one yeah it’s all processed ect but a home made one is the best thing you’ll take in a while bro fr
Just want to say even know it's late eftpost was first trialed in NZ in 1980's so thats why we kept that name
we have water in the bowl, just not a lot, we have water up to the top of the flush canal but not too much where we get splash back haha
We have water in our toilets just so much less
Do you guys leave streaks in the toilet? Weird question to ask lol but I’m curious
@@Twano2am not very often
yes but then we clean it with toilet brush@@Twano2am
15 mins and you can be badly sunburned here. We're pretty close to Antartica. There is water in the loo, just not as much as the U.S. Mufti isn't always cash, you can bring a can of food instead to donate to the foodbank
Auckland is one of the most diverse cities in the world. South Island is less diverse. So plenty of different cultures here in the most populated areas. Very diverse. The cabinet food isn't accessible to the public. Our health rules are strict. It is just that the food in the cabinet is the food available for the day so the shop server takes the food direct out of the cabinet. What do you mean we have no water in our toilets? lol. Of course we do! What the hell? Who been telling you lies? Never had to pay for mufti day in my school years. Plus, they can't make you make a donation in NZ schools. Even the yearly fees are not enforceable. Mufti is English slang for not wearing a uniform. And, as an agricultural country, we take our fertilizers seriously. You need different mixes for different plant types. Got to specify what sort of fertilizer you are selling.
New Zealand may be an island but it is long like from Canada to Arizona but it is inverted the south is colder and the north is warmer , I live in the top of the north island which is sub tropical, in the south island it snows in winter.
We do have water in the toilet but just on the bottom of the bowl. We don't fill it to the rim like the U.S. where your ass cheeks just about touch the water lol
Someone need to send you a food pack from here in New Zealand
Rarely any skid marks bro the water that comes out is like a jet force blasting everything straight through the S pipe
Part 2 from a Kiwi:
11) I don't drink coffee so no comment from me on this one. I've never once bought a coffee.
12) Again I don't go to camps but I do know while safety is important here in NZ, it's not regulated to the same extent as the USA. Primarily because here in NZ whoever owns the campground or whatever can't be sued just because you fell over and broke your ankle. Whereas that's exactly what someone would try in the US. You do what you deem safe for yourself and your family.
13) Usually the best stuff from a cafe is in the cabinets. It's also great if you want something to eat but don't have the time to wait in the queue for them to cook it for you.
14) Yeah hang your clothes on the line if you can. It's better for them. Sure takes a bit more effort but sunlight is far better than heat from a dryer for the health of your clothes. I don't know why she says she's frowned upon for using one though. Most families either have or have access to one. Everyone uses them at some point.
15) I believe the US washes the eggs because that's what the consumer wants (or what they believe they want). Because the consumer doesn't want to see all the shit and dirt etc. Nice clean eggs. But when they put them through the cleaning process it takes away some of the natural protective coating eggs have, requiring them to be refrigerated and not last as long. In NZ you will often see the dirt and crap on some of your eggs. It's all natural!
16) Don't know where you heard we don't have water in the toilets. We don't have nearly as much in the US (as in how high it's filled) cause that's a waste of water. The only toilets in NZ you will find without water in them are long drops which are common in rural/hiking areas.
17) The main reason our outlets have switches is because of the voltage our electricity runs at. In the US I believe it's 110-120V whereas in NZ (and most of the developed world) it's 240V. The switches are to prevent arcing when plugging in/taking out. It is also useful of course to stop waste of electricity to appliances you have turned off instead of unplugging them.
18) Mufti day is super common with schools. Any school that has uniforms will do it. It is for fundraising for charities and you only need to do a $1 or $2 gold coin donation. So super cheap and gives something to charity and the kids get to wear their own clothes to school for the day. You should know it's not a requirement. There are always exceptions and the kids can just wear the uniform if you don't want to pay. I'd say at least 95% of the students come to school in mufti on those days though so it is hard for the kids that don't get to be cause they're parents didn't support it or wanted to pay that measly $1.
19) Can't say I know of worm wee. I do know of Caulk though. You should check out those NZ ads. They're hilarious. Search "NZ Caulk ads" Anyway at school we often had "car boot sales". I'm not sure if what she's referring to has something to do with that or not.
20) Never had eggnog. There are so many similar products though cause it's pretty basic recipe.
Bonus Christmas:
1) Yeah they're Christmas crackers. Because they crack when you break them. They always have a paper coloured crown, and a shitty joke you've heard before. The better ones also give you a shitty toy.
2) The Christmas mince pies aren't meat. It's a fruit mince in sweet pastry that's baked. If you like raisins/prunes you would like it. Very sweet though so will make you sick quick if you eat too many.
3) The thing with strawberries your thinking of is Pavlova. It's an incredibly airy/light dessert. Its basically whipped up egg whites/sugar that's baked very slowly. Some people don't like them but most Kiwis love it. I know I do. Cover it up in whipped cream it is one of the nicest desserts out there if it's made right. But its sort of like a souffle. You gotta get it right. Or just buy from the store.
"whoop-dee-day"lmfaoo 🤣
No one waits 2mins to flush , curtesy flush even tho you not finish, so that 💩 aint sitting there & stinking the 🏠 😂
Mufti day is usually a gold coin ($1 or $2 coin) donation that can go towards fundraising for the school or a charity. Lately my son's school has changed it to bringing in something non perishable to donate to the local food bank.
So.. our toilets have water just less; the dry ones are festivals camping etc . Our eggs are fresh daily.... that's why they don't need a fridge yet; to fresh for fridge...I turn off all plugs if not using it... saves power and safer for electrical fires. Only my fridge /alarm/ hot water cylinder are on when out... mufti clothes is usually for fundraising for the school or charity..I pay $2 a week for mufti for charity in community..they let it slide but it's in good faith.... we also call plan clothes cops "mufti cops" haha
"Go get some sun" Spot the guy who grew up in the part of the world without a hole in the Ozone layer.
There is water in the toilet. It's just not 20 litres, more like 2.
The difference in toilet water between us and the US is because when we flush the toilet a whole lot of water pushes down from a tank above. In the US its the suction of the huge amount of water that is supposed to do the work. Ours works better and very rarely would you get a blocked toilet here. Kids shoving things down the toilet yes that happens but otherwise its pretty clean.
Supply and demand? There ain't no demand for no nasty ass eggnog
Guess what ,, kids call it worm wee . Adults call it fertilizer.!!!!
Worm wee is from worm farming. You farm worms in dirt. You feed the worms. From that liquid comes out that you use to fertilise. That's why it's called worm wee lol.
screw the coffee tradies have the monsters and red bulls everyday
Lol we have water in our toilets. So funny. We just don't waste water by having the toilet full of water. That the difference, but there is water in there haha, just not as much. :)
NZ has same day transfer from bank to bank except for the weekend. This is changing in March 2023, where transfers 7 days a week will happen.
Mufti day back in the day people use to dress up in costumes like people in America do for Halloween it's just that people have forgotten where concept of mufti day came from and worm wee is called worm castings
we do have water in our toilets it just dont be as high as yall have urs yk.
water be splashing they holes all the time
Bro there is water in the toilet 😂😂😂 I’m dead 😂
we are a subtropical island so we have a moderate temp. certain parts are like the tropics and then other parts resemble britain or colorado
What's the problem with the cabinets ? You have tongs or the staff have tongs. It's behind glass. No worries. You just DON'T use your hands.
It's actually illegal to sell refrigerated eggs in NZ and yes NZ toilets do have water in them
Where did you get the information that it is illegal to sell eggs in refrigerator?
@@mattieclan8957 section 72 subsection 3 of the Health Act 1952
So she's in Wellington which is very windy cause it's close to the gap between the 2 islands so all the wind that is coming around from the roaring forties gets funneled through and so it's really windy and were by Antarctica so it's cold and windy and then Wellington region it never gets cold enough for snow to fall and stay so basically it's cold windy and rainy with no snow in winter so annoying. Then you got the old people up north on the tauranga area they basically get no wind just nice and then down south is where you get lots of snow it's real weird
New Zealand has two big islands (big compared to Barbados for sure!!) and one of them is pretty close relatively speaking to Antarctica (where the south pole is). So just like places close to the North Pole, they too would get marked variations in temperature.
Chur my bro I was going to explain it to the bro but you summed it up nice and easy my kahi 🙌🏽🙏🏽
@@kurupt7154 Happy to help!!!
"The water be hitting you bro!!" Lol
Dude, what you talking about!!! There is water in the toilet it's just not filled to the top, it's just quarter fill with water. Free ranger eggs means NO GAGED chickens, free range eggs are from chickens that roam free in the chicken farm and come in to feed sleep etc.
I was so surprised when she was recording that I just didn't hear wind on the microphone the whole time when she's in Wellington I mean that is a good day
Eggnog is usually a winter thing at your Christmas we have our Christmas in summer its not something we have in summer here
Oh yeah i forgot the seasons were flipped lol
I'm a kiwi too I ain't never had eggnog before my family never has it
If they camped rurally (in the country side), it makes sense. Some places are on tank water so are really conservative of water usage.
Bro that cake you sead we have is pavlova it like Meringues but bigger and it's so good ice cream fruit and cream on top the best
If u add about a quarter teaspoon of curry and a little bit of margerine or butter it gives baked beans on toast a whole different yummy flavour
Brooo I enjoy your videos talking about us heaps hahah. Do more and should do more NRL too. Defs subscribing, chur.
The food in the glass cabinet was more than likely made that morning
We wash our dishes again once we get home lol
Hey twano, about coffee , it's about many shops many roasters ,finding the shop with your flavour mixed with , Visibility ,to be seen drinking it..lol..yet me I like strong cheap lots of cow and throw in a mocha sachet , beat it until it frother.. NZ yum..
Kiwis love coffee for Blind sake, not health or energy, sitting in Hit sun drinking $8.00 coffee no problem..
Hope that helps !? .
Worm wee plant food it's called humour
Rubbish eftpos is an acryonym which stands for ekectrinic funds transfer at point of sale. In fact nz was one of the first countries to use electronic funds transfer and automatic tellor machines
Brotha who told you theres no water in our toilets?? 😂😂
Its kinda true. US has a lot of great things but they also have lot of minor things that are implemented to benefit big companies.
