What is it to be a New Zealander?

Being a New Zealander has both similarities and differences with being a Chilean. Being a New Zealander implies being kind and generous, even in small details of daily life like cars stopping to let people go across the street, or saying hello when you walk next to them even if they don’t know you.
New Zealand’s society has more than one culture (multiculturall), there are maoris, Asians, pacific islanders, people from european descendence, etc. And they all live together without any kind of discrimination for their skin colour, appearance, etc.
One aspect of New Zealand’s daily life is their way of eating, at breakfast they usually have cereal, toasts, similar to Chile, at lunch they eat a sandwich or something like that, not too much. Dinner time is special to them, they eat a lot, like a Chilean lunch, this is special because it is a moment when they can share a moment with their families and talk about their day, etc.
New Zealand is also a safe place, people who live in here don’t usually steal or do anything that is against the law, it is weird to see that, it is a peaceful place of the world, you could even leave your phone charging in the subway, then go somewhere else and when you come back your phone will still be there (we know that wouldn’t happen in Chile).
In New Zealand they also take care of their cities and green areas, if you walk in Wellington it is really weird to see trash or anything written in the walls, it is a really clean place.

To sum up, people in New Zealand are really kind and nice, they take care of the place and respect each other.
