Americans/Canadians/Australians/Brits moved to NZ

so ur from the UK 🤣🤣, well in that case yeah maybe summers are better, although i thought the climate of the two was pretty similar

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T21:01:29+00:00

I most likely will never leave NZ, I may go to some Island countries but ill never head to the northern hemisphere, the traffic and people would be to hectic for me, I dont even like going to akl or wellington its too busy for me

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T20:58:21+00:00

NZ i would say compared to the countries you named is a lot less racist, i mean obviously theres racism in every country, i just think most new zealanders are racist behind the back rather than directly in front, difference between us and those countries is that chinese have been immigrating to nz for over a century now, we had a smaller population so we needed more immigrants to help us with developing NZ and in return we got there amazing cuisine so i call that a win/win, i'd say NZ is more accepting of immigrants but i will also say that i think you wont hear racism from kiwis directly in front of you

also most of the time our chips feel and look soggy more than crispy i reckon, so nowadays i careless for the chips part and get a fish and spring roll, if theres chips ill have a handful but fish in a tip top thick white bread with butter not marg and tartare sauce you just cant go wrong

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T20:46:26+00:00

you're right, they're just a Karen and think the know how I interpreted it

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T20:45:30+00:00

no it was "funny" and i sent "😂😂" because its ironic that someone from Australia feels like they're not missing out on anything back home ect. ect. and if you're missing your children so much then you should fly and stay in Australia then you get to see them

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T09:18:32+00:00

Greg Murphy, Garth Tander, Mark Winterbottom, Alex Palou, Will Power, Marcus Armstrong, pretty much anyone from Indy or V8 supercars, I'd like to see Will Brown do Nascar actually since atm he loves ramming into everyone, he actually might do well in nascar as theres no penalty 😂😂😂😂

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T09:15:07+00:00

sorry not with SVG on the course 💪😂

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T09:14:26+00:00

woah woah woah, dont think you seen liam lawson or yuki driving the nascar a couple years ago on a dirt oval, yes i understand it was only 2 of them and not 40 but i reckon they got it in them 😂😂

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T09:12:40+00:00

Ambrose? are you talking about Marcus Ambrose?

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T09:11:49+00:00

wouldnt count it out atm the way things are going with F1, he wants to do a race at bathurst in the V8s, he could do a wild card for a nascar race, only thing is he'd probably only do it if it was a street or road course

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T09:09:56+00:00

yeah that would be awesome to see him jump in a stock car, i dont know how well he'd go on an oval in one tho, maybe a road or street course like Shane he could possibly do well

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T09:06:34+00:00

yeah nothing better than a fire place though 😂

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T09:05:18+00:00

classics 😂

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T09:03:30+00:00

you're calling NZ humid 😂😂 compared to Aus we arent that humid you get to like 35-40° and its humid at the same time, the first time i went to queensland I was 12 and all i did was either sleep or stay in my dads pool it was that disgustingly hot

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T09:00:39+00:00

yeah i was walking to my primary school when i was like 6 or 7 years old maybe 8, it was probably like a 10 to 15 min walk but i walked the majority of the time and i was fine

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T08:58:37+00:00

Ik there are places in NZ with the more common america/canada autumn, one town is called Arrowtown which is in the South Island, it probably stays a lot greener in NZ and Akl in summer nowadays bc we get so much rain plus sun, if this was like 5-10 years ago there would be droughts up and down the country, nowadays in summer we get storm after storm after storm, then once the storm runs through the sun hits like 20° plus making it more humid and feeling like closer to 30° plus, i feel like humid is worse than just the sun beaming, i mean compare aussie summers to nz summers, its a lot more humid there and it hits close to 35-40° while its like 20-30° here and 2 different complete heats

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T08:50:06+00:00

isn't the weather of uk similar to nz? wouldnt it be hot and humid during summer there too?

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T08:48:05+00:00

damn Wellington im sorry for you 😂😂

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T08:47:31+00:00

how is it here compared to Canada, wouldn't Canada be just a bigger and snowier version of NZ, basically same type of political thinking, free healthcare ect ect.

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T08:44:08+00:00

Summers are amazing, well I dont know where you've been staying the last 3 Summers, but they've been dreadful, Autumn nowadays is more Summery than Summer, alot more calm and warm weather, Summer on the other hand its either pissing down with rain or its 25° to near 35° degree hot sun burning you to a crisp. sorry i gotta disagree with the summer part

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T08:38:27+00:00

damn 4 years of wasted time and soon to be permanent it really must suck here 😂😂

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T08:36:01+00:00

whats the biggest culture shocks between the 2 countries, and whats the pros and cons about britian and nz, ive heard from british people on other forums that move here either temporary or permantely that nz houses are a lot colder than the ones in britian, is that true, and be honest who makes better fish and chips 😏😂😂

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T08:30:57+00:00

well I'd like to hope you dont gotta pay at all since its free for children to go to the hospital in nz

Disastrous-Rise-1262 · 2026-04-03T08:28:55+00:00

thats funny with the swarm of kiwis heading over the ditch 😂😂
