    I am Chinese. I have been to NZ 23 years now! I came here alone with 25kg travel bag 22 years ago. I finished university here, and now I am a mom with 2 strong boys. Our family loves nz, we are kiwi 🥝 now. ❤️ we love nz people, friendly, kind, open-minded. Nz is our country. I keep telling my boys, we need to do our best to contribute to our country nz. No matter where you boys go in the future, never forget nz raised you and do your duty when nz needs you.

    At my workplace during the 2 minutes silence, one week after the tragedy, we listened to the radio and they played this very version of the national anthem. A few sung, a few cried, but we all stood and bowed to remember all those who died. Never have I been more proud to be a Kiwi.

    The Kiwis... Not the strongest, not the loudest, not the biggest... But never will you find more loyal people.
    The Kiwis were the first commonwealth nation to aid us in WWII, later that day, Australia joined them, then a few days later, Canada.
    To give what little strength a young nation has to fight for a nation you gained independence from an ocean away without thought for yourself at the outbreak of what would be the most devastating conflict we would ever see...
    Thank you New Zealand. Thank you. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK... We are one. All of us. Britain will never forget what you gave for us.

      +Teele Rybanova Its just that no one talks about it anymore. Canadians, Australians and Kiwis get their due and praise while the largest all volunteer contributor to commonwealth land forces (2.5 million, all volunteer, UK had 8 million but conscripted) conveniently forgotten. Also, Churchill literally murdered 3 million of his own people (Indians were British subjects) in the Great Bengal famine which was easily avoidable. How is this fair?

The time has come for us to be our own country with our own head of state. We've removed the Queen from our money, we will hopefully have a new flag, and will maybe one day become a republic ending our beautiful relationship. Know this, you will always be our ally, and we hope you will continue to be ours.

The thought of living the rest of my life in New Zealand brings me great pride because I know how it's people love the country so. I'm from America and I hate it. But New Zealand has brought out country pride that I've never had. It's an amazing country and I hope to become an official citizen and not just have a residency all my life.

Obama hasn't done anything much lately, so now our government basically sits there talks about doing stuff but never caries through. I'm supporting Sanders for 2016.

    3:03 Location of the Elven Harbours (such as Lindon)
    3:37 Again Misty Mountains

    5:12 Pass of Caradras

    The theme is a universal one, asking a higher power for protection against the evils of corruption, envy and hate.
    As a people, unity is found through Love....

    Let us put all our differences aside and let us put our priority of being human first. I am extremely saddened by the recent tragic events in New Zealand. My prayers and thoughts are with the families who lost their loved ones.
    I used to say I left my heart in New Zealand cause since 2009 I have been visiting her almost every year not only because of her geographical beauty but also because of “the Kiwis”, to me New Zealand is the only country where you able to have a decent conversation and able to get a reply for every single 100 attempts of greeting regardless of color which I wasn’t able to get that in other countries. Only in New Zealand, the westerners (once known as the colonel race) know that, that this country doesn’t belong to them but to everyone, where most of the lands are soon to be given back to the Maoris community (the aboriginal people of New Zealand). I shed tears all the time listening to the beautiful lyrics of New Zealand National Anthem, where you will find lyrics such as "Peace, Not War, shall be our boast, but should foes assail our coast", Put our enemies to flight, and Let our cause be just and right" wishing that one day I can be one of them, “the Kiwis”. To me, everything about this country is beautiful until this. Therefore, let us restore back this free land beauty not only to the Kiwis but to the world. I urge everyone to remember that we are “Human First “ before anything else. “HUMAN FIRST”

    Had the best 19 days of my life in New Zealand, an absolutely amazing country I want to spend more time in.
    Love from Australia

      tawkischeap1 It's just a joke lol........ I think I meant Bitter, I always get confused between the two....... Bitter, I think means food/stuff are flavorless/tasteless......
      No hard feelings ok mate........ I only reed the first comment and saw JR Murphy's comment, that I'm gonna head bang soon.........

      tawkischeap1 Thank ya mate...... Always good to have a laugh with our neighbors...... And as for that other guy- Wait a minute, that second comment of his I only just reed.....
      And he's true, the government does advance the rich, and screw the poor...... But the only thing I don't agree with, is saying stuff about our anthem......

      JR Murphy What makes you think our anthem is a lie...... For all you or I know....... It could mean anything.....
      To me, I'm not religious, but I reckon "God does defend New Zealand"...... He always has, because, when we broke away from Antarctica and Australia, we could've ended up at the bottom of the sea........ So that means, we're a continent......
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealandia_%28continent%29
      lol, ae you Aussies, you wanted us to end up at the bottom of the ocean lol even millions of years ago lol, but nah, "God Defends New Zealand" remember :))))))))))))) haha....... (No hard feelings)
