So how is New Zealand different from Australia?

Well we are different countries for a start. Basically NZ is better than Austrialia.

New Zealand and Austrialia did have a good relationship.

But then came the end of the goldern time.

Relationships have been bad ever since.

Rugby is really big in NZ. We have a famous rugby team called the All Blacks and they are famous for doing a HAKA (maori war dance) before they play a game.

Rugby is less wimpy than american football, because the players don't wear padding or helmets, etc.

Yes I know all about the Mauri peoples and their Haka routine. It's pretty cool.
Not a big fan of rugby though.

Aunty Helen didn't send our soldiers to Iraq, so I don't think bush was happy about that one.

Aunty Helen knew how to deal with Bush.

She also got a trip to the white house.

Because she is our Aunty.

Aunty Helen knows best.

Aunty Helen might lose the next election though.

Well Bush looks so happy to see her.

I was wondering Mr. Bogan, do they have public transportation? You see where I live, there isn't much except for New York. I really would not like to move there though, it's to big and confusing. I thought about England but migrating to a land that rejected colonists is a lttle hard to fathom. Maybe it's been long been forgotten. Transportation is huge one for me. Gets pretty isolationg here in Missouri.

I guess Mr Bogan's gotten sick of New Zealand and is headed to Australia.

Can anyone say Beeer mate.

The picture was taken right after Aunty Helen told George W that she had a banana for him in her black purse.

Yeah Chirstchurch(the biggest city in the south island aka the good island) has a really good bus system.
Wellington where Aunty Helen rules with an iron hand has a good train system. The public transport is so so. I'd say public transport will improve with oil prices going up.

Yeah London has a really public transport from what I have heard.

New Zealand unlike the USA is still part of the commonwealth. The Queen hasn't visited us for ages though, but I seem to remember Prince Charles came a few years back! It didn't really spin my wheels though.

I'm still here, when NZers go to Australia we get hassled by sheep jokes, which is annoying.
