For me, Lord of the Rings
Deffo , peter jackson literally just gave us nz and we were like :0
Huh? What’s that?
It’s not on any of my maps
Its a place? I just looked all over my globe and couldn’t find it.
I always think that enough time has gone by so they can just start calling it “Zealand”. Also, “Flight of the Conchords”.
Zealand still exists though. In Denmark.
Being an Aussie, quite a few things. Some good, some bad, and not all I can say on Lemmy about sheep shaggers.
Kiwi birds, the laser kiwi flag, rugby, hakas, dramatic landscapes, an accent that turns “deck” into “dick”, and L&P
Ninja Kiwi, a gaming studio that create mobile games. Their most known game is the Bloon Tower Defense series.
It’s that little island off Australia, right?
(I kid! I kid!)
Sheep and it not being on maps.
There’s a garbage dump named after John Cleese
Sheep. Kiwis. Sailing.

Hakas, sheep, green, snowboard, sea, nice people. All this. Never met anyone from there, never been there, but that is what internet taught me.
Liliput, brobdingnag, barsoom, narnia, and other fictional places.
Nah, bad jokes aside, it’s the people and the bird.
Overall, New Zealanders have been positive interactions for me. Not super common in meat space, but enough that it left an impression.
And, you can’t escape the kiwi. Cute little buggers.
Those are the first things that pop in my head when it comes up.
The second thing is Alien Weaponry, a freaking amazing band from New Zealand.
Hobbits and the crushing of your version of SAG/AFTRA
