Green. Hills. Kiwis. Sheep. Dodos. Pretty landscape.

[b]Do you have any stereotypes about New Zealand or New Zealanders?[/b]
...Not that I can think of. :l Oh wait, there's the one where apparently everyone thinks that Canadians live in igloos an' shit (in a more refined manner of speaking, "NZ has a really poor education system."). No kidding. When my friend moved there, all the people at her school would ask her dumb things like, "do you have electricity?" and "do you really live in igloos?" in all seriousness. @_@

...Though I don't think that technically counts as a stereotype. More like an [relatively biased, lol] observation.

[b]How long would you guess it takes to fly from Australia to New Zealand?[/b]
Not long. A couple hours?

[b]Name some things New Zealand is famous for. This can include politics, sports etc.[/b]

[b]Do you know anything else about New Zealand?[/b]
-Recently there was a small village that ran out of women's panties. 8D
-The leading religion is probably some form of Christianity.
-Anime is slowly gaining in popularity, but not quite that popular yet. Mostly because there's a general stereotype there that anime is like softcore porn or something. :l
-And what's up with the grading system for school? :l I have little respect for education systems where you can't actually tell a kid who's failing that they're failing. :llll +NCEA system sucks. >8O

Hi everyone, thanks so much for helping out with my project! And thank you to all those who PM-ed me, too.

I'll post the results on the forum when I'm done interpreting the results. =^-^= I won't be accepting any more surveys from now on, as I need to interpret all that data...
