yes, a lot of the guys here have rat tails and mullets. the rat tails aren't terrible because they're usually accompanied by a faux- or mohawk so it doesn't look too bad. but man have i seen some SICK mullets!
a majority of their tv shows are from the states, but they're a year behind in airing, so i can't watch shows online because of a licensing issue... so i'll have to wait until i get home to watch the office... bummer
there's a huge cadbury (like the chocolate) factory in dunedin on the south island. almost all their candy is cadbury.
new zealand likes to name things by characteristics of the items or what it looks like. there's tons of these, but my favorites and the only ones i can think of now are sticky plasters (bandaids) and throaties (halls/cough drops). these aren't too crazy, but there a candy called crunchies and pinkys, as well as a cheetoh-like product called twisties. i'll add more when i come by them
a little taste of other kiwi lingo: togs=bathing suit; jandals=flip flops; lollies=candy; chippies, crispies, crisps=chips
now that's some fun stuff! :) But, I didn't get the faux thingie with the rat tail!
