First of all New Zealand has the famous flightless bird, the Kiwi, even New Zealanders nickname is the name of the national bird. Compared to Germany you can see that we have only the eagle on our flag an on the one euro coin.
On Friday nigths in New Zealand it is very popular to have take away for dinner. The most popular take away is Fish and Chips. It is deep fried fish with chips. In Germany its very famous to eat 'Currywurst with chips'. In some shops you can choose how spicy you want your 'Currywurst'. In both countries you can buy these meals even if you have a low budget.
In addition to that the famous sport in New Zealand is Rugby, for some people its like a religion. New Zealands most successful team is the All Blacks. The All Blacks won twice the Rugby world Cup in 1987 and 2011. It's a huge contrast to Germany because in Germany you don't have like the one national sport but soccer is very well known for Germany. Our national team is very good and we became three times world champion.
Another aspect is that during the summer in New Zealand there are the special A&P Shows. The shows are New Zealands answer to country fair. Usually the shows are three days long. It's a popular family event with rollarcosters, sweets, candy floss and a lot more. Moreover in New Zealand they use the shows for competitions between farmers with their animals. Children have also the opportunity to learn how to sheare a sheep or ride on a pony.
In the beginning of october in Gemany there is the famous 'Oktoberfest' but it's only in the south of Germany in Munich. It is quiet similar to the A&P shows but I think a little bit bigger. More younger people come to this event even from far away. The women wear 'Dirndl' and the men 'leather trousers', which are a national costume. The event is set in big tents. You drink a lot of beer and eat pretzels. The music is German country music and there is also candy floss and rollarcoster.
At last in New Zealand all the children wearing jandals and shorts even in winter. The famous crunchy toffee Hokey Pokey is very delicious with vanilla ice-cream. However we have Gummibears and the best bread in the world :)
In my opinion both countries have nice traditions and I like it really much. I hope you like this kind of information about my life here and this time it was in english so you can practice as well.
