There are literally NO redeeming factors about this shitty country in the middle of nowhere. Every problem Australia has, we have except our wages are lower and modern infrastructure in this """""country"""" is non existent (except if you're a farmer).
We are even more cucked liberally than America and more socialist too due to our small population. You are paid LESS for the SAME amount of work you'd do in Australia and everything here is so fucking expensive because 60% of it is shipping costs.
There's a reason we're a happy country, because "being happy" is the only thing we've got, we have NOTHING ELSE to be happy about.
Do you live in the big city? I've always wondered what taking the train or subway would be like.

Is it that hard to make your own salad? Why are you buying marked up garbage?
Matthew Ramirez
I know I could, but I make salad so infrequently by the time I want to the tomatoes, cucumber and sometimes even the cheese is stale since I leave it in my fridge and forget about it.
Brody Gutierrez
How much is that in american dollars?
Landon Thomas
You should start strip mining your mountains for coal, gold and diamonds and ship the materials to China. The Chinese in return will provide you with half-decent infrastructure that falls apart in 10 years and the only one who gets rich from this is some fatcat billionaire and his crony politician friends
Logan Watson
Nvm i looked it up. $6 for some premade salad like that is normal here too. And here it is made by niggers or ms13 girlfriends. Your country makes me jealous as all heck. Wish i could immigrate.
Carter Evans
Yea Sydney. Population 5.1 million, growing every year considerably. Infrastructure can't even handle 2 million, let alone that amount, yet everyone wants to push Sydney as some kind of New York or London. As for taking the train, if you're going to work prepare to feel like you're in a can of sardines. I know New Zealand is just as expensive as Australia and with less pay, but grass is always greener on the other side.

Is woollies actually called countdown in nz?
Jose Baker
go to a small grocers nearby that has fruit veg don't carry cash or cards give them $100 and ask them for an account only buy fruit and veg since you have no cards or cash on you your only source of food becomes going to that place each day and buying what you need for that day you don't even need a fridge you buy and eat what you get fresh you see the guy each day and you spend $10-20 a day there for your 3 meals and that's cool. he tells you what's best and you exercise and eat healthy and learn how to cook the best foods when constrained to this menu you can buy veggies there and have a butcher with the same deal you keep banks transferring your balance to him and all is ok suggest your friends do this eat better cook better have meal nights, 7 friends, cook for 7 people, only cook once a week. better: it'll force you to get rid of friends who are useless and cannot cook
I understand that you have many chinks. Nonetheless,
>Good population density >Reasonably non-interventionist government >Actual nationalist party regularly involved in governance; admittedly not the best nationalist party, and mostly filled with old folks, but many countries would kill to have that sort of political situation >Maori are better than Aussie Abos and Canadian/American Injuns >Not fat >Probably not many Americans >No international interventions >No negroes (other than Maori, who are again better than various other natives) >High prices are offset by still maintaining a culture >Earthquakes are shit but could be worse
Overall not bad, better than Canada and Australia as far as I reckon. Much better than South Africa or the UK. Solid Commonwealth state. Really could be worse, my Asian friend.
Evan Cook
Then I don't understand all the migration from NZ to Auz. like 90% of people here if they're able to get a job in auz, they will immediately jump the tasman and live in one of your famous east coast cities (Usually Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney). The obvious answer is higher wage.
I feel many people would come to NZ to retire, but unfortunately this mentality of leaving due to higher wages and people retiring in this country don't exactly increase our GDP.
Michael White
what kind of autism is this? hello shopkeep, one veggie account please. top jej
Bentley Gutierrez
I believe countdown used to be an NZ company but you greedy as fuck aussie companies bought it and now 2 out of the 3 main supermarket chains are Australian.
Jason Bennett
>woolies logo >countown
wtf
Chase Martinez
>more cucked liberally [I assume you mean cucked by liberalism] > more socialist too > lower wages
This is is a big clusterfuck of contradictions you silly kiwi. Socialism MEANS more workers'/union power. It can't be liberalism, socialism, and grinding poverty wages all at the same time.
I watch the Outer Light channel and the guy is from New Zealand... says coffee is $8. Or $5 for a $1 coffee equivalent in America. Sounds like the global elite who bunkered up there are trying to price out the locals
Asher Fisher
countdown is the name of the company woolworths bought but for some reason they maintain the name but use woolworths logo.
Adam Stewart
Farmers have A LOT of power here. Due to the law of economics if they are able to sell it at a higher price by exporting and locals are not willing to pay $5 for $1 black coffee, they will just sell it all overseas.
Zachary Anderson
Good don't put us on your maps WE ARE FUCKING FULL
Luis Smith
No it doesn’t you stupid fuck Imeans more regulation and government owned business’s. Which typically leads to inefficiency and wasteful spending, driving up tax’s and lowering wages
Brandon Smith
The problem is the internet. Since getting it we've become another one of USA's bitches and basically mimic everything they do and feel, especially politically and news wise. We are still too isolated to have the immigration problem you and Aus have but we are one of the fattest countries as well.
The main issue in this country is wages and the chinks buying all the property in Auckland. I thought here was bad I can only imagine what it's like in Vancouver.
BASED Keep it that way because WE ARE FUCKING FULL
Blake Roberts
Okay. fuck off then and stop whinging like a little bitch
Elijah Hall
Vancouver is officially lost. A significant number of the downtown signage is in chinese. I didn't believe it 'til I saw it with my own eyes. Now, whites are
Jonathan King
>No negroes (other than Maori, who are again better than various other natives)
They have started importing them.
You see maybe 3 or 3 of them a day but more will follow and so will the problems associated with niggers
Lucas Morales
You're right, this is the most expensive way to get a salad. In your country this is equivalent to about $8 a pound. Which for you is obviously still a fucking expensive Greek salad. (I have travelled the USA)
Jackson Martinez
>Vancouver Replace Vancouver with Auckland and Canada with New Zealand in this webm. You're right, and it's fucked because it's true.
I'm okay with NZ being a myth if it means less people show up here.
Adrian Jackson
Godspeed, user. I have no good advice. If I did, my country would not be fucked. All I can really say is that the "never relax" meme is true. 99% of the time it will amount to nothing, but the two or three times in your life when it's actually relevant are worth it. I've: >1) saved a purse; (ha ha but no, it wasn't mine) >2) avoided a stabbing; >3) dodged a sucker punch; and >4) broken up what would have been a very nasty weapon-involving fight before it started, all because around blacks you must never, ever, ever, EVER relax. Just expect the worst. Also, they multiply quickly so don't take the status quo for granted.
Benjamin Green
Get in now while we're still letting people in for cheap...ish.
Connor James
looks like greece is trying to find ways to make money to pay dempts
Jordan Peterson
We've seen the yellow peril do this in the pacific islands, so we're already wise to that trick.
Parker Brooks
leave then, nobody cares
Dominic Foster
Groceries are more expensive since the retarded Labour government allowed progressive foods to buy out the competition.
More news at 7
Juan Moore
I know whats going to happen and I'm ready for it, bro.
Isaiah Hall
Yeah the shops that used to be Woolworths all changed to Countdown about 10 years ago.
James Murphy
God I hate this shit country can't wait to pack up to Australia
Luke Smith
The one that isn't the same colour as India.
Mason Smith
I moved back here from Aussie in 2016 and the food prices are fucking horrific, I thought it was bad in Sydney but here....faaark
Colton Gutierrez
I alway thought New Zealand is more comfy than Australia.
Alexander Mitchell
It is, outside of our top five major cities.
Aaron Foster
Fuck Mexico was bigger than it used to be
Wyatt Cooper
It FEELS that way because naturally less people, less congestion, less problems etc, but deep down, we're equally as fucked as Australia or any other western nation
There aren't five major cities. Auckland barely registers as a big city. Wellington and Christchurch are regional towns.
Samuel Jones
I was at a beach near Dunedin once in the middle of summer, a hot day at 23C and the icebergs glistening in the water, and I was forcing my way briskly along an overgrown disused track from a guest house to the sand. I suddenly had a moment of panic - it was the perfect way got get bitten. It passed though when I remembered New Zealand has no sneks. That's one good thing.
Parker Roberts
Regional Australia > Regional New Zealand
Connor King
Fucking this, get me out of this hellhole. I want to live in rural Finland or Norway
Hunter Green
I dont think were a happy place. Suicide rates, alcoholism, drug use, homelessness, mental health issues, domestic violence, falling (white) birthrates, promiscuity, ongoing dismantling of the family unit, obsession with proxy means of boosting our collective self esteem ie all blacks, housing unaffordability, uncertain national identity, growing wealth disparity, sickness borne of spiritual death and affluence etc are some reasons why.
Kayden Kelly
Don't you worry about what goes on over here. Just keep to that rats nest of a country your currently stealing.
Connor Green
*you're*
James Hughes
We have no History or people to be proud of, except for Hillary, that guy who split the atom and Gallipoli. Everyone here is an empty shell, even more so if they're one of those soulless chink Aucklanders
Jonathan Foster
>change an age old brand to some stupid meme that sounds just ok
Even us Americans aren't that shallow.
Caleb Morales
How does pic related even happen when we live so close to each other.
Yeah, I really feel no connection to the land. I don't care about the country.
Lincoln Thomas
Its a Australian owned company, so they actually changed it over there
Asher Watson
Life in the shire is supposed to be laid back
Carson James
Muh dudes, NZ is a gardeners paradise. Buy some cheap land and convert it into an eco-farm. Live off the land in a low tech way. Survive without the government or the grid, and with only cheap material needs covered by productivity of your land via self and family. Have only want of a healthy thriving family and crop.
>So close to each other >Massive exapnse of water that has separated us for millions of years.
The absolute state of Aussie education. jk, love you guys please let me in your country
Aaron Edwards
NZ looks pretty nice from here friend. I know grass is always greener and shit. I truly hope I might visit someday. I will be respectful as a guest.
Asher Brown
And? In the US and Canada Target, Walmart, McDonald's, Acme, Stop n' Shop, and Shoprite literally are the same names over here and there. There isn't an example I can think of, and why rebrand your entire well-established stores just for a literal meme, pay me $5 New Zealand toilet paper monopoly money or real American green or not I can think of a better name than "Countdown." Awful marketing decision, they deserve to go out of business.
Because New Zealand was raised from the sea only recently in geological terms, Kiwis like to call themselves "The world's newest country" because of this
Dylan Walker
A person walked past my house today. Fuck I'm stressed out.
Daniel Jackson
It was a hypothetical question, but sure come in. I hope to one day leave anyway.
Joshua Sanders
i bet he was chinese
Carter Thompson
Not OP, but I am in one week thank fuck. Fuck Jew Zealand and everything about it.
Christopher White
I'm rich as fuck and I love NZ. Fuck you poor wagecuck work harder.
Been there done that for 20 years now I'm back here...good luck, mate.
Leo Mitchell
Daddy sending you money from china doesnt count.
Andrew Nguyen
We have much to be proud of its just our newness means we went from little britain to the current clusterfuck of maori/multicult identity without enough time to cement our uniqueness as a highly livable, post colonial society free from the rest of the worlds shit.
Luis Ross
Yeah I don't know why they changed it.
Hudson Rogers
Do you have jobs?
Caleb Rodriguez
lol poor poozeeland
Joshua Moore
>Greece >above 10 Bullshit map
Christian Davis
Or come to Aus - Just don't live in one of the bigger cities
Ayden Garcia
It can if the unions are run by cunts like Bill Shorten. Traded lower wages for union dues...
Aaron Thompson
Theres no money here, lots of people come to New Zealand, but they spend no money.
Jackson Walker
All the foodtowns got changed to countdowns. That's why you sometimes see two countdowns right next to each other
Ryder Fisher
WTF kraut. I'd love money from a daddy in China, but I'm not a ching chong.
Come on user, that's not true. You might be angry now but that will vent. Get your life priorities sorted. Find a better job (not necessarily a better paying one), find a qt gf, start cultivating your garden if you have one. Do the simple things and the meaning will show.
And don't spend your money on that pre-made shit. If you work 16 hours/day that is the only option. But you should try and make the time.
Chop up two tomatoes and a cucumber, break up some white cheese in there, sprinkle with oregano and add two spoons of olive oil. Olives optional but tasty. Total cost, a third of what you're paying. Plus, you'll feel better actually preparing it yourself.
I'm a electrician, work for myself in my own company which consists of just me.
Jackson Smith
The fact is that not having relevance can protect you. You are a precious redoubt.

The ingredients of a greek salad cost more than buying one of their pre-packaged nightmares
William Taylor
They included your top MPs
Lucas Murphy
Holy shitfuck, do all of their stores look and are as inefficient as these do? No wonder your food costs a lot, imagine how much it costs to heat these places? The architecture looks ugly and awful, too, and absolute eyesore, even a McDonald's looks better in that slot that that giant blue square.
