New Zealand has one of the biggest town names which is called Taumata in the short version. The tasty pie is a New Zealand icon. Food that is popular in New Zealand is Fish and Chips, pavlova, fruit salad, and artisan cheese. The languages that are spoken in New Zealand are English, Māori, and New Zealand Sign Language. New Zealand celebrates a day called Waitangi Day. It is the anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. New Zealanders wear modern Western-style clothing. Every ethnic group in New Zealand uses its own folk costumes and has its own traditions. Patting someone’s head can be interpreted as disrespectful. Raising a middle finger or making the V-sign with a person’s palm facing towards them is considered unethical and rude. Once you have developed a personal relationship with New Zealanders they are seen as friendly, kind, outgoing, and social. They have a large amount of respect for honest people. I would like to visit New Zealand and meet the people there because they seem kind and considerate. I would like to learn more about Waitangi Day and what they do to celebrate it.

There is a couple I follow in YouTube that sails around the world in their catamaran. They recently spent a couple of months in New Zealand, which was fascinating, but I learned even more from their extended stay in Tonga. Their YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/c/gonewiththewynns/featured. Don't forget to proofread before publishing.
