A cultural element that called my attention from New Zealand is how they respect each other and the maoris, it is impressive how two cultures live together and accept each other, because Chile, unlike New Zealand doesn’t respect the other cultures that live in our national territory. They even recognize Maori as an official language from New Zealand. Also through their history they have even had agreements.
That is one of the main differences, the acceptance and convivence of both cultures in their territory, small details like things written in both Maori and English make a difference.
Another difference between Chile and New Zealand is how clean their cities are, and how they take care of their environment, if you walk in Wellington you won’t see anything written on the walls, no rubbish on the streets, everything is clean. Also their green areas are clean and they take care of them.
A similarity between both Chilean and NZ’s culture is that both descend from aboriginal cultures, like the Maori, Mapuche, etc. The difference in that is how they respect them and we don’t.
