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.

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!

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