I like the scenery here. We're nuclear-free, largely LGBT friendly and the first country to give women the right to vote. The temperature is fairly nice all year round (assuming you're from the north island. The south island is freaky cold in winter).
I hate how my country's overlooked by pretty much every other country.
I love how we can use honestly boxes here. For people don't know what a honestly box is, it is a stand/stall of items on the side of the road and you pay for your items by putting it into the box as there is no one manning the stand/stall.
I love appreciate that we have universal healthcare. I take pride paying into a system for well being of myself but also other New Zealand. I know I don't need it now but I know the system will be there for me should I need it.
One thing I don't like, well at times the isolation gets me. But watching the news and realising, how bloody lucky we are to not experience the turmoil of terrorism and high crime rates can also be a benefit.
What do you like and what do you dislike about your country?

There is a saying we NZers say, this is Godzone.
