Zea lol it’s not. Some places, especially public restrooms, it can be kinda high, or really low. But most are much lower now. The newer toilets are lower. But some toilets do have very high water lines still.

Bailey Paliolonga is it as low as the New Zealand’ one? I’m so concerned if you can get splashes when using it since theres too much water in it

@@savirazaria Not really, though I have seen some that are pretty low. And don't worry... Even with the higher ones, you don't get splashes. Lol. So you have nothing to fear!!!

so you can live in a trailer or tow stuff , same thing?

How to DAD what is the new Zealand doughnut you showed. I'm drunk and it looks really good. Also do you know if the custom is doughnuts cooked In lard or vegetable oil? Btw you made me laugh after just watching Gabriel Iglesias; that's says something.

It's just known as a cream donut (or doughnut). It has no other name......

Devin - lard? nah - no way - veggie oil. the main difference is that they're really soft - and filled with cream and jam. (we get dunkin donut here - so have the best of both worlds...)

You understand the 'shy and awkward' thing here is a tongue-in-cheek don't you? Americans aren't very good at that sort of humour, but it's part of New Zealand's English heritage, and also in Australia.

Self-deprecating humour is pretty common here, as a lot of us don't like to be seen as arrogant or cocky. He ramps up the awkward, dry humour because that's why people keep watching him; (think - Flight of The Conchords). He's the kind of guy that you'd feel privileged having a beer or a barbeque with 👍 He and his family seem like genuine fun people in my opinion. We need more genuine these days right. Don't take things too seriously my friend; exposure to different cultures is illuminating. Have an awesome day.

Wow i live in america and reading this made me realize that i act that way.

So that's the reason for being loud? 😁

It's not an 'ego' thing; it's a practical thing. The US is so large and diverse, one can travel within her boarders and still experience a wide variety of different cultural-environments-- and they can do so at a fraction of what it would cost to travel overseas. I mean, just consider the differences between New England, the Deep South; the Pacific Northwest, and the Southwest. Americans have all this diversity their own back yard. And they can enjoy it all without the need for huge flight times, passports, language barriers, and cultural shocks. Traveling in-country is the smarter move for anyone whose not filthy rich because vacationing overseas, as wonderful as it is... is NOT a good investment. You can spend like $4,000 in a week and really have nothing to show for it in the end but some pictures on your cellphone. Plus, most people end up doing exactly what they could have done vacationing domestically-- go out to eat, look at some nature, grab a cup of coffee, or go to a club. I think Americans prudently place a higher emphasis on adult things like saving money and growing their net-worth rather than throwing caution to the wind to have a good time now. In essence they make wiser decisions with their money.

Breakie is aussie

That would take a while...

yoo

@@MrJanfm And that’s the goal

Tipping seriously does freak us out LOL

Tipping is a perfect example of a country founded on hard conservatism and industry rights over workers rights. There are not labour laws ensuring workers are payed enough to live off and so they require tips to live. Of course, by no means is New Zealand perfect, but at least in regards to paying workers I think we have better legislation. So probably the reason tips freak us out is because they are indicative of the people who are barely being paid by their employers. That said, I've been to America recently and pretty much everyone seemed to be lovely people and maybe we're all just being scared of a different culture.

I'm a kiwi tea what tippy I don't get

Tipping sucks

Tipping is a good thing. Here's an example. A friend of mine waits tables. She brings home (on average) almost $1,000 a week in tips. If some people who want wages raised had their way, she'd get no tips and her pay would be about $380 *before taxes*. That's not very much money. She'd probably need a 2nd job or have to quit hers to try to find one that paid much more (if it were possible for her to get a job that paid that much).

Another difference between New Zealanders and Americans: New Zealanders get the concept of a joke

No they don't. I lived in Texas for 10 years and I never once heard anyone say "Howdy".

If we didn’t wash the eggs right after they were laid, we too would not have too refrigerate them. They last longer not washed outside of the fridge than washed in the fridge. Fun fact for ya.

Interesting how that works. Anything you can add about trailers? I think the little ones are trailers and the larger ones are travel trailers. Not sure though

If it trails behind a vehicle it’s a trailer. Just different types of trailers. A car trailer, camp trailer, covered trailer.

Preston Pursley 👍 sweet

Yes it is actually a fact to keep eggs chilled because of the high protein. Bacteria like to multiply is moisture (which is obviously the inside of the egg) so we be pretty reckless leaving eggs outside of refrigerator 😂😂

Also in America caravan = RV

Yes, it's confusing, just leave it at that. lol

NZ to US equivalency Caravan = Camper, travel trailer, camper trailer, RV (recreational vehicle) Trailer = trailer, utility trailer, work trailer, a 5x8 trailer, etc. In the US, A trailer could refer to any of the words in both categories above if it is moved by being towed behind a vehicle, including semi-permanent mobile homes. In the US, the word caravan would usually mean a group of vehicles traveling together single file.

It’s just 10-20% of the bill at places like restaurants and barber shops or if you order delivery.

20% for good service. Tip zero & complain to the manager for shitty service. You're welcome. The reason for tips is because most servers earn WAY BELOW minimum wage. Sometimes only 2 or 3 bucks an hour. A "good" server will make bank in tips.

Yes, 20% for restaurants, please. Some people still use the old standard of 15%. Ten percent is low and you look cheap. It's confusing to us too when you tip bartenders, cab or Uber drivers, hair stylists and manicurists, hotel maids and some other hotel staff, and, according to TV, delivery people. Even Americans find some of this confusing and end up whispering to friends "am I supposed to leave a tip?" and "how much?". This is where 10% can be ok. Just make sure you tip your restaurant servers because they are indeed paid way below minimum wage because it's assumed they'll get tips. It's a weird system.

I’m generally at 20% at a sit down place. I’ve rarely had bad service that was the waitstaff’s fault. Most busy restaurants the waitstaff and bar staff can earn over $300 in a Friday or Saturday night. If you’re a full time server, it’s not really meant to be a career. Foreign tourists have complained about the tip but rave about the service, which keeps your non-alcoholic drinks topped off and always tries to sell you another beer/wine/mixed drink.

hell yea

Haha

Definitely
