Things I Like About NZ

There are many things that I like about NZ. Firstly, NZ is a country of natural beauty. There are many beautiful lakes, parks, snow capped mountains and countryside beauty all around the country even though the South Island can boost some of the best sights in the world. Next, the people are just so friendly (not sure about the bigger cities though). Whenever you meet someone in the street and they will greet you with a Hi or g'day mate. Try that in Singapore and people may think you are up to no good. The salespeople here is one such example. In supermarkets, the cashier will always have a small talk with you. The other salespeople are all very patient with you and will answer every question you have and even if you leave without buying anything, they will still give you a sincere smile and advise you to go around to get the best deal.

The education sytem is another plus factor. The teachers here really encourage and praises everyone in the class to achieve their full potential and not just the best ones like in Singapore. In fact, the best one hardly get a mention here, the ones that show the greatest improvement will always be the star. Health is another plus factor here. For those with existing problems will be taken care of. I was given free yearly checkup and subsidised priscription. Lastly, there is no such thing as status here. Even if you are the Prime Minister or just someone who is working in an office, drive a big or a small car, live in a castle or a normal house, you are always treated equally here.
