What Do You Think Of When You Hear...
 

It's the what do you think of when you hear... thread.

When you hear of New Zealand? I'm interested to know as I'm so far guessing you all think it's some kind of paradise haha.

Add your own topics as you see fit.

My home, sheep, family, John Key, Christmas during the summer and mince and cheese pies :love:

When I think of New Zealand, I think: "Vanilla lives there".
Then sex.

^ Why sex?

Because Vanilla lives there.

Fair enough then :laughing:

I get a pang of some sort of nostalgic emotion when I think of New Zealand because I wish I was back there :( I mainly think of all the things I did while I was there.

Do you have pies in Aussie? I'd sure as hell miss them if you didnt :)

What do you think when you hear... MilfSoup?

Pies? As in:

Of course! We are both known for our pies:

Australian and New Zealand meat pie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Never heard of it.. Wait, ok. Just searched it. Wish I hadnt.

Thank a lot -.-

Excellent! I may make a move to Aussie some time then. Nothing better than a fresh mince and cheese pie :D

When the hell are you going to visit fine sir? ;)

When I think of New Zealand, I think of man-eating aliens, twisted muppets, sumatran rat-mom-zombies, elves, hobbits, etc ..

Thank you Peter Jackson :(

Aside from all these things, it's also the home (or has been at some point) of the cutest girls on musicbanter which is a redeeming factor.

This is what I think of when I think New Zealand.

I've always assumed this game (which kicks ass btw) is an accurate portrayal of life in New Zealand.

Hahaha, you're welcome!

I take it your a big fan?

Nope, I just think it has a nice ring to it. MilfSoup.

MilfSoup.. Maybe it would have if I hadnt searched it first. Now I just have the constant image of old lady porn.

I think amazing place that I want to first visit and eventually move to. No joke.

:D :love:

Vanilla's made quite an impression on you, hasnt she?

I only want to move because of her... Joking haha. I always wanted to move to Australia, but I don't think I could handle the heat in Queensland. So NZ is equally good and its pretty close to AU too so I could go my holidays there. Well NZ is probably ****king boiling to me! :D

Well, if your that keen on it, come to Auckland (thats where I live) - its not too bad. But do go to Wellington - the capital - its awesome :)

:D

Don't move to Queensland they all sound like hicks you'll just end up shooting yourself haha.

Come to NZ and I'll marry you, permanent resident! ;)

Haha the joke of it all is I'd kill to get out of here and travel. Any good looking mbers want to shout me over to see them?

Ooooooh goooody!! Pinky promise :D:D?

I never break Pinky promises so absolutely!

Oh God, take me with you. I love NZ, but cant wait to get out.

Yeah Queensland is bogan territory. Plus it's really, really, really hot and wet. Move to Melbourne! We have the most temperate climate and we're quite cultured... compared to Queensland :D In fact I'd say Melbourne is the most similar to the UK and NZ.

Lol bogan! Exactly what I meant. Temperate is what you meant I think.

Yes! They are all bogans up there... do New Zealanders use that term too? And yes I did mean temperate, oops typo, will fix now :)

New Zealand seems like a cool place. My dad is from Auckland but he moved to the States when he was about 20 or 21. He met my mom in Detroit and they moved to Toronto after I was born because my moms from here. My dad's been back to NZ several times because he has family there but I've never been! And after 30+ years of living in North America he still has the accent.

Flight of the Conchords are from NZ also. Awesome.

A highly accurate portrayal of life in NZ:



Not really, I just wanted an excuse to post a Footrot Flats clip ;)

Man, it's too bad you didn't come up here. We could've gone joyriding and scaring reindeer with the university pickup while blasting hip hop on the tundra! :D

Oh my gosh that sounds like fun.

And pestering reindeed with pickups is just the tip of the iceberg. It would've been a lifechanging experience for sure! :)

You are like, my hero. We could blast some Jay-Z or Pitbull lol! All the reindeer will wish they were us!

I think of Sheep and Peter Jackson

Thanks to the comic 'Scandinavia & The World', I think of this when I think of NZ:
