Here are more things that are different about New Zealand

The clouds move really fast overhead.

There's no such thing as a water shortage.  So carry on power-washing your sidewalk.

There are fewer multi-national chains, and more mom-and-pop shops.

If you want to say 'this and that' to indicate a vague variety of things, you say, 'odds and bods'.  Or, 'rats and mice'.

There is no Taco Bell.  This is both a blessing and a curse for me, personally.

What's an injury lawyer?  And why would you waste your money on health insurance?  And what do you mean that your summer jobs didn't come with vacation time?  And what's it like to travel more than 100 miles from home?

You don't have enough money?  It's OK, take it anyway.  I know you'll come back next week and pay me.

'This strikes me a bit odd...', instead of, 'No no no, this is all wrong.'

Houses are small.

Dress codes are significantly less formal.  Apparently bare feet are acceptable in the workplace as well.

Who needs a contract when we can just shake hands?
