I am surprised that many of the people around me do not know where New Zealand is. I thought watching the Olympics would help. It's ok, I guess it's like how others think Singapore is part of China...

So here are some simple facts about NZ.

2) Nope, it's not part of Australia
3) It is a country.
4) Not in Europe
5) Population of about 4 million people
6) Larger in land size than Singapore
7) But smaller than Singapore in terms of population. Surprise surprise

11) Kiwi bird is their National animal
12) Kiwi fruit is abundant
13) They love kiwi.
14) World renowned for scenery
15) Bungey jumping originated from New Zealand
16) Last country to ever be discovered by man. Thus, pure.
17) First country to see daylight
18) 5 hours ahead of Singapore time
19) Allowed to drive at 16
20) Allowed to consume alcohol at 18
21) Allowed to have consensual sex at 16. Shen jing bing.
22) Ex-Prime Minister is Helen Clark. A female.
