And here I am, a US American, and I can find the US, Canda, New Zealand, and old Zealand on a map. I really need to learn how to fit in better...

Well at NZ = 270,534 sq km USA = 9,629,047 sq km
Or 36 times the size of NZ then the Americans should be able to find it more easily.
and your point is, doc? kids who go to school should know where their damn country is, regardless of how big or small.

I saw an interview with Robin Williams this evening, and he can't do an Australian/New Zealander accent (in case some Antipodean tries to claim they're different, Williams actually tried both). Which is quite surprising given how easy it is.

Surely it involves saying "mate" and "barbie" a lot?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I'm surprised you can fit in anywhere, being the size that you are.

Yep, bad swedish beer brands exist. And then there are good ones. Just like any other country. Tuborg, Spendrups and Zeunerts are some good lagers. If you ever come back here, look me up, I could introduce you to a bottle alright. My treat!

It's been a while. I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page re: Big Tim Nix.
