What is it to be a New Zealander?

Being a New Zealander is to be a nice person, and worry about other people. They can easily start talking with you, for example when you are shopping. They will ask where are you from, what are you doing in NZ, for how long you will stay, and probably they will recommend you some places to visit or to go to eat. 

They are very relaxed, at least in school, where they don't have many tests and homework. In their daily life one example of this is that they don't care about traffic, which is really bad, especially in the morning and in the evening.

They really worry about nature. An example of this is that I never saw rubbish in the street, or in the public areas of the city. 

To be a New Zealander is to accept other cultures and integrate them to your daily life. A very good example of this is Auckland, where there are many different cultures (Asian and European mainly), and they live really well in the city. Scots College was also a good example of this, having students from many parts of the world. They are really proud of Maori culture too, their past and their legacy, and they respect the and integrate them to society. An example of this is that the Governor General of New Zealand is Maori.
