    I live in a country very similar to NZ, Norway. What I miss the most after coming home after visiting in-laws in Punjab is exactly the pulsating life that India is full of. It is so quiet and it's almost dead in comparison here. It is sometimes so bad that we go into a mini-depression after spending a couple of months in India. As I always have said, India's greatest asset is it's people, and the life and friendliness of most Indians. Missing India......

    Reminds me of taking my Indian partner to visit my family in Australia. We live in Israel not India but it's probably halfway in between in terms of noisiness and liveliness. When we arrived he said "why are there no people on the street" and I told him it was relatively busy because it was a sunny day. Also couldn't stand the unpredictable Melbourne weather and having to wear layers. One of the major things he noticed was how quiet everything was and the lack of honking.

    I've lived outside of NZ for almost 20yrs - USA, UK & Germany (still in the DE).
    This has helped me to have a wider perspective on the positives & negatives of my home country.
    To all commentors who describe NZ as beauty on steroids, unnervingly quiet, boring, peaceful, psychotic driving Land, horribly cold, 4 seasons in 1 day inconsistent weather, friendly people, dull news, too many sheep etc etc - you're all correct, it is all that. And I appreciate the honesty and gentle critique.
    But there is one comment I can't stand: when people say NZ has no culture. This is incorrect, it has two -- that being the Māori culture & kiwiana, the hybrid kiwi culture of today. They're newborn babies compared to most world cultures but the people are trying their best to show off these newborns to all and tell em aaaalll about the little things that make these babies rock. 😊
    Culture in NZ is not so much within the walls of ancient rocks and buildings, or art or music even, but in the *people* . And it is the *people* who you should be open to. So practice opening your heart in NZ. I can assure you, kiwis love opening their hearts to others. In fact, you'll never make it through a checkout counter without first being prompted to give a rundown of your life story here lol. And maybe say yes when a kiwi stranger invites you to a hangi or a dinner at their place or a visit to a marae etc.
    That said, don't be silly, use your instinct and common sense when accepting invites as there are idiots and dodgy people in every country. 😉
    I'm proud that as a kiwi, Karl adores India and shows respect to the people and culture etc as that's a beloved kiwi custom we all try to practice. To show kindness and friendliness to all humans, stranger and friend. Honestly, it's 50% because we like to be nice and 50% fear because if you don't, in time, somehow, mum is going to find out that you were rude to a friend of a friend of a friend's visiting 3rd cousin, and you're going to get a slap behind the head, a tongue lashing or a jandal flung at you when next you visit. 😉☺️
    He aha te mea nui? Māku e kii atu, he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.

      Hi. I saw another video from him which highlighted violence towards Indians living in NZ and I got very discouraged about even visiting NZ. I am from Trinidad in the Caribbean, but some of us here are of Indian descent or mixed with European and African. So why are Indians targeted and abused like that in NZ? I surely didn't expect this!

    • @SalznPfeffer658
      @SalznPfeffer658 Рік тому +4

      @@gabriellewilliams396 one has to expect that in every country - racists exist. It's not specific to any culture or country and if one is truly honest with themselves, we are all just a teeny bit racist. E.g we tend to assume that our own culture and people are the most accomplished and the best examples of the human race...to some extent. 😉
      As for the ethnocentric and racist abuse Indians and Asians suffer in NZ, well this is more about societal prejudices of the "other", socioeconomic standings and statistical probabilities and little about the Indian culture.
      Case in point: there is a higher % of Indians who own and operate corner store/dairy/convenience stores in NZ than any other ethnicity. They are small businesses targeted by scummy individuals wanting a quick buck as they're manned by Indian families who usually provide very little resistance during a robbery. This skews the perception that they're being targeted for being Indian when it is most likely because they are seen as easy targets by criminals.
      Of course this doesn't answer for attacks outside these businesses but I can only assume that they are:
      - partly due to racism (perpetuated by the mistaken belief that foreigners "use" NZ without acculturating to the native cultures)
      - some foreign communities tend to stick to their community even in other foreign lands
      - and the belief that foreigners have a higher socioeconomic standing (mostly due to hard work) than local people
      These mistaken beliefs, while they highlight the character deficits of morons who believe them, they also indicate the economic and cultural prejudices said scummy moron may have experienced themselves through generational trauma and subjugation of their cultural identity and race.
      i.e the cultural history and makeup of NZ, like Trinidad and Tobago, revolves around old British colonialism that did not deal kindly to the indigenous Māori. While much has been addressed, still the system that oppresses remains, now renamed as neoliberalism. It continues to perpetuate an unfair social class system that leave many nonwhite - Māori, Polynesians, foreigners - at the bottom, fighting for the scraps. This engenders a society of haves and have-nots that colour our perception of people. Unfortunately some percieve Indians to be part of the haves, and express their biases unfairly.
      Scratch a little deeper, underneath the sensationalist media headlines of racism, and you'll mayhaps see that the issues are not about Indian Vs New Zealanders, but about economic, social and cultural injustices that still exist in NZ and unfortunately, some Indians get stuck in the middle of that.
      With that said, one also makes an individual choice in how they behave and not all choices can or should be condoned. In the end, our behaviour reflects our own personal choices no matter how or what influences them. So It doesn't excuse why some get attacked, nor justifies these heinous actions, but it helps to understand and come to some sort of peace, that Indians themselves are not the issue, but the need for NZ society to work harder towards a more equitable position for ALL peoples in NZ.
      As a Māori, I understand your concern and disappointment.
      Dreams are hard to let go and while NZ is a beautiful place with friendly people (overall), it is not without its issues and has much to work on.
      I only hope that you choose to see beyond the headlines and make your own mind up on how you may or may not like NZ. It is not for everyone, and that's ok. 😉😊
      P.s apologies for the super long essay. Racism & prejudices are blanket terms to cover up very complex sociocultural issues. It takes time to unravel the blanket to get to an understanding. 😊

    I live in Wellington and I love the work culture here and it’s too peaceful and quite. Kiwis have warm personality and too kind. I miss India dearly during festivals, I miss wearing Indian clothes. During festival there is a hollow feeling I have. I think I failed to make friends and have a deep connection with people here where in India it’s easier to connect to people and Indians are tolerant in another level.
    I find the only way to socialise here is if you go for drinks which is not the case in India. I guess we occasionally do drink but majorly we invite and go to people homes to eat food and bring sweets and dance to some Indian music.

    An Indian family moved in down the street here in the U.S., a small (very white) city surrounded by farms in Indiana-- The grandfather spends a lot of time here, though he splits his time here and India and his wife prefers to stay there, but he walks all around town, all day, starting from the early morning. He goes everywhere, waves at everyone, and tries to talk even though he can't speak that much of the language. Everyone loves him. I just thought about this as it is in contrast with what your wife says about small-talk in NZ vs India.

I’ve been to both sides but haven’t stayed in Auckland only arrived at the airport and drove down. The scenery reminds me of LOTR since it was filmed there. Hoping to go back next year as it’s only a 3hr flight from Melbourne. The weather pretty much the same as it is in Australia in the summer time but not like 40 degree heat in oz in the summertime just perfect

    We do have several similar hot spring natural pools in India, actually. Usually, they aren't very famous outside of the little towns they are located in, but they do exist. For example, there is "Gaurikund" ("pool of Parvati", Gauri = Lord Shiva's wife Parvati, kund = pool) in a town of the same name, near Kedarnath, Uttarakhand. It is conveniently at a very comforting temperature for the town. Not very clean though, but it is considered very sacred for Hindus, so tons of people take a dip.
    There is another high-temperature hot spring pool (around 90 C, so enter it at your own risk), located somewhere near Badrinath. I forgot what it's called, but this one is much cleaner, since not a lot of people dare enter it due to the high temperature. It's also deep enough for a human being to drown if they don't know how to swim, so be careful while approaching it, since the surface around the pool is slippery.
    Due to high altitudes and chilling temperatures, they remain open only during summer months, but it's beautiful. Y'all should visit sometime.
