New Zealand Culture

Culture from New Zealand is very different from the one we present, except for one impressive thing, the Maoris and the Easter Island people. The Maoris present really similar dances and language compared to the Easter's, in fact, 75% of the language is actually the same (according to host family). Leaving those aside, the New Zealand culture is very respectful for everything, You can't see any graffitis on the streets, everyone, and even the lower class people have good education. In other words, it is a cleaner place. As another fact, this culture was inherited from the British Culture in many aspects such as language. One of their national anthems is the Great Britain's "God Save The Queen" (they have two different national anthems of equal status, being the other one "God Defend New Zealand"), other small cultural aspects, and even left-handed driving (as my family calls it). In terms of sports Rugby is the most played sport along with Cricket. The New Zealand Maori dance, called Haka, is a visual representation of how the Maori's prepared for fights, it is nowadays performed in several events and most recognized from, rugby matches played by their national team, the All Blacks.
