You think that's funny? The Yanks also think that Kiwis eat Kiwifruit and some Yanks have turned up with trailer loads of Kiwifruit to feed the Kiwis. Incredible!:lol:

1475469 2021-03-10 21:23:00 The title -- Won't get any arguments there LOL.

BUT on the other side, its not really their fault if they don't know. Once its been explained to them bet "some" feel a little stupid. bit like any NZ'er going to another country some of the animals, traditions we wouldn't know about.

But lets just stick to the title :D

1475471 2021-03-10 22:52:00 NZ is just a small Island in the pacific , why would the yanks know anything about us ?

We dont know squat about most US States, or most African/Sth American countries :)

The Yanks don't know much about their own country, so how can we expect them to know anything about anybody else's country?
