New Zealand: The Funny & Unexpected Side Most Tourists Don't See. From carnivorous snails to legitimate wizards… Let’s explore together the fun, funny and bizarre New Zealand.
#13 “The Force Is Strong With This One”
When thinking of the demographics of a country, religion is part of the data. The most common are Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and more. But NZ has so much more to offer… in 2001 a great amount of people said their religion was JEDI. In 2018, the census will also have other worshiping options for its citizens. the new comer is The Church of the flying spaghetti Monster… I wish I was making this up… what other unique worship movements you know?
#12 Supplies On High Tied
#11 The Rare and Carnivorous
As long you and I are exploring together, No Country can be discovered without a critter added to the mix, and this one will Not disappoint. Meet the giant albino snail, Powelliphanta are normally darker in color and NZ is the only place on earth where they can be found. What makes this giant snail so unique is that is carnivorous and like to eat earthworms. So next time you are hiking in NZ, see if you can find the albino snail!! What other rare animals you know of?
#10 Mission Intimidation
Have you ever been intimidated by a group of people dancing? And I don’t mean in a dance club. Get ready to be intimidated if you are in the opposite team of the Maori, New Zealand’s native tribe. Their unique tattoos indicate their status in the tribe...
#9 The Lost Continent
In school we were told about the continents. In some countries there are listed as 5 and on other countries the school system teaches that there are 7. But there is a continent we did not learn in school. The submerged continent of Zealandia and only a tiny part of is above sea level. And That’s NZ! So when you go to nz feel special standing in the submerged continent!
#8 The Water Down Hoax
#7 Traveling Heavy
When traveling to New Zealand, remember to carry your passport, your i.D and your luggage… One thing NZ does not want anyone to carry, is too much body weight. The government of NZ has actually sent people back and their resident visas denied if the BMI is higher. So, carry all you want, just make sure is all your personal belongings.
#6 School Goes Nuclear
All of us in high school had the pleasure of playing in the chemistry lab. As we discovered earlier with the Water Hoax...

#4 Not Down Under!!
#3 No Rolling Down
#2 The Wizard of NZ
