For me, Lord of the Rings

Huh? What's that?

I always think that enough time has gone by so they can just start calling it "Zealand". Also, "Flight of the Conchords".

Being an Aussie, quite a few things. Some good, some bad, and not all I can say on Lemmy about sheep shaggers.

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. Kiwis. Sailing.

Kiwi birds, the laser kiwi flag, rugby, hakas, dramatic landscapes, an accent that turns "deck" into "dick", and L&P

Sheep and it not being on maps.

There's a garbage dump named after John Cleese

Pinging @Dave@lemmy.nz as answers might be interesting

Hakas, sheep, green, snowboard, sea, nice people. All this. Never met anyone from there, never been there, but that is what internet taught me.

In elementary school, I had a kiwi teacher who told us about growing up on his uncle's sheep farm. Allegedly, he once found some caves on the property where an underground river ran. In those waters lived a huge eel that had been eating lost sheep, until my teacher killed it in hand-to-eel combat.

I want to believe that it's a true story, so you'd better check what's under your feet.

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.

Sheep. Sheep in a lot of green.

Moa, Lord of the Rings, Rocket Lab, and lemmy.nz.

Friendly Polynesians I've worked with in Australia.

TUI birds. They have the most amazing calls. Actually all birds in New Zealand need a mention, but the TUI is my favorite.

Hobbits and the crushing of your version of SAG/AFTRA
