NZ, Hmmm  
This is where I grew up 
    
    
  
Coromandel Peninsula New Zealand, I grew up in Kuatunu which is a small town near another small town called Whitianga  
 
    
 
I lived in a house on the hill just to the right of this picture.  
 
I went to Mercury Bay Area School which had 1500 students ranging from Primary school (5-10) Intermediate (11-13) and High School/Collage (13-18)  
Because of the Tax System Healthcare and the school system are free except for school trips which you pay for and dentistry, which you pay for, there is Insurance but that is subsidised by your employer (Varies from workplace to workplace)  
My first Girlfriend was Dana and we made out on the beach, I was 7. it was awesome, My second Girlfriend and first "experience"  was with Jessica and that was in the Grassland near my mothers house I was 13 she was 15, This place holds many great memories,  
 
I now live in Auckland a three hour drive from The Coromandel peninsula   
 
Auckland has around 47 Dormant Volcanoes in the area of the city and  the main drag is built on a Lava flow from tens of thousands of years ago, it was fascinating to read about volcanism and geology when my mum went to Uni and I could just browse the Library and read whatever I liked, when I was 14 my dad went to Manukau Institute of Technology and I continued to read at my leisure whilst he was in classes,   
 
I was born in Melbourne Australia and In my opinion has to be one of the best cities in the world,  
Whether you want to believe me or not, by the time I was 6 I have been three times around the world, My father is Dutch and mum is a kiwi, and nearly every year they travelled from new Zealand to Holland and then to Australia so I have been to most major stop over airports  
 
New Zealand is awesome because whilst you guys are in the middle of winter I am enjoying a temperate 25-32°C summer getting a nice tan and living it up with my mates New Zealand is a great place to live      
 
now for some pictures 
 
      

Needs a better name. With our island we put the word Great in front of it, just so you know. Great New Zealand is much better.

You also live there so it's like +10 awesome points.

And that's on a bad day!

Don't you mean Australia Jr.?^^ I kid! New Zealand is a beautiful place, I'll love to visit one day ;) 

Didn't you do one of these already? I swear I've seen those pictures on here a lot.  

This is why I love New Zealand
  

Yep, as an Aussie living in New Zealand, I have to agree that NZ is awesome.  
 
I'm in the South Island, so lots of beautiful scenery and (in my opinion) a fantastic climate. 

Looks nice. But at the same time, it looks spider-infested. I couldn't deal with that.

Looks beautiful.

New Zealand sucks because I live in Auckland

I just googled that, and I could totally live with those.  I'm moving to New Zealand. "

God damnit I really want to live in new zealand. All this is exacerbated by the fact that I have a friend who has dual citizenship there. 

New Zealand has an arcade with Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. That's cool.

The rural lands are very nice but it's a shame that it's populated with disgusting people.

Do it. Let me know when you're here and I'll put the kettle on. :) "

The place is nice to look at, but be prepared for crappy internet. Strict data caps ahoy!

You know Slurpees don't exist in NZ so that deducts points in my book. But overall yeah, NZ is a beautiful place.

Im rocking dual citizenship, I live in Australia now but I was in Auckland for 6 years before and man NZ is beautiful.

That's not New Zealand.  I don't see a single hobbit in any of those pics.

I lived there from 14 to 16 years old, and it is a really fucking cool place. Course the gaming situation was terrible... but I can live with that. 

That fourth picture is amazing. Did you take these? Oh, and I didn't read any of that. I'm too tired to read stuff.

That looks beautiful.

...I have never in my life seen water that colour.  I always thought it was in movies.  Our shores suck.  :(

GODDAM THIS MAKES ME WISH MY PARENTS MOVED TO NZ A FEW YEARS AGO.

NZ sounds and looks amazing brah.

I want to visit your country, if it only was closer to mine so I don't have to fly so far. *sigh*

Pretty. Do want.

Middle Earth sure is a beautiful place.

Welll i live in Mexico and ... it shucks :( so you want all of us  to feel envy????

New Zealand: 
Better than Old Zealand!

Those pictures just make me want to live them when I'm older even more than I did previously!

Neu Zulland

...It's like Minecraft in real life.

Flight of the Conchords is awesome and so is Dead Alive. Kiwis your alright in my book.

Sweet. Makes me want to go there. Where I live in Australia (In QLD) is similar, but there is more houses, and fat people (and not the kind that becomes more charismatic the fatter they are). The ocean water is horrible brown and has got mud all through it. Plus when you are swimming in the ocean (which I do a fair bit), you just know there is a Saltwater crocodile somewhere not too far away, and just hope that you don't get eaten since it is actually quite rare for people to be eaten (I don't know why though). We have amazing crystal-clear creeks run through forest like in the photo you showed us with the moss, plus we got white sand on those creeks (brown-ish white on beaches). Near my house is a river that is either green (from tree reflectoins), or dirty brown during the "wet season", which is like all the time like totally girlfriend. The climate is hot and humid, but we still have icy-cold waterfalls, and one really GIANT waterfall that would kill you before you could blink from the massive pressure. BAM! On the non-environmental front our internet sucks, but it isn't that bad. I'm not sure if I'd rather live where you live/d, but the water looks wa-ay better than where I am going by the photos. 
 
The water is blue until you're in it... C/a/i/r/n/s Australia baby. The ocean water in the island is actually clean because it is away from the mainland coast. It rains so much that our roads are always forming potholes and the sky can often be grey (almost all of 2010 was grey sky from clouds).
     
     
      

yep. moving to new zealand would be a dream.
