Culture of new zealand

There are several things that New Zealand and Chile have in common but there are many more things in which they have differences. One of the similarities between the two countries is their great loyalty and love for sport. In this case it is rugby but in ours it is the football. By contrast one part of the things that differentiates  is the type of food in the breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also they eat at different times than we (tend to eat a lunch and dinner a little before us).

Another very important thing to mention is social security that exists in this country,  where people can live without worrying about their things being stolen or not, this definitely impressed me and without a doubt this fact makes this country a very pleasant place to live.

In conclusion, the thing that caused me the most interest is the Maori culture and their connection with the people of New Zealand which is very close; they live together, respect and help each other, which is very good and surprised me a lot because in Chile with the Mapuche we don't have this type of connection because our relationship is not very good.
