just out of curiosity, how much influence do you get from USA, if any? just thinking?
- Calme0
influence on what level ? life ? design ? how to eat carrots ?
why you asking us nzers also ?!? random +++
- jdcomba0
on all levels.
i know its random. but i'm pondering on this sunday afternoon drinking some beers, and it just popped up. i know there are som NZ peoples on here so i figured i'd give it a shot.
what time is it over there anyways?
- blackspade0
12, lunch time
yes theres alot of US influence, on all levels TV, music etc
but we also have a very stong/popular creative culture of our own
- jdcomba0
for sure. i know you do. but, is 50 cent played on the radio? i'm sure you have mtv and mcdonalds. i don't know what i'm getting at here.
i have full respect for new zealand.

if you snowboard, what are some more popular brands?
- blackspade0
yea we have over-load of all that crap, the same as you. we have C4, MTV was cut a while back. Same deal tho
NZ mc's have been accused (by australians) of rapping with 'Amercian accents' lol
very VERY small towns still have a Mccy D's and KFC if that answers your question ;)

Is the maori culture there still very visual?
- Calme0
hmmm kind of... its limited to times of years, certain days and areas... but its still there, if you go to the right places. quite visual in general though, alot of things about new zealand relate to it and vise versaaa
