China people like to praise others and are good at self-criticism. When they hear praise, they should be modest: not good enough!
New Zealanders like to praise themselves as well as others. If you praise him, he will answer generously. Thank you, I agree!
Auckland Boys Grammar is a boys' high school in Auckland, which has always been known for its dedicated study and rigorous school spirit.
2. gifts
China people are very subtle in giving and receiving gifts, so it is not appropriate to open them face to face.
New Zealanders, on the other hand, make a fuss about the gift giver, and the recipient should say, Great! I like it! If you send clothes or accessories, you should also put them on or take them to the interview. The more you like them, the happier others will be.
child
China people's sense of accomplishment in educating their children comes from their achievements in school and their ability to play the piano well.
New Zealanders' sense of accomplishment in educating their children may come from children playing well or taking care of their families.
4. filial piety
Children in China will be scolded for sending their parents to nursing homes.
Old people in New Zealand live in nursing homes when they are old. If children take time to visit them, it is called filial piety. Old people have no expectation for their children's retirement, and children don't think it is their obligation.
Bring grandchildren
Parents of China people can take care of their children's grandchildren without regrets, work hard, pay back money without regrets, and envy foreigners.
New Zealanders' parents will visit their grandchildren when they are born, and send them a card and prepare a gift every birthday or Christmas. Generally, they don't help take care of children for a long time. Of course, temporary help is still needed.
propose
People in China are in love, no matter men or women, anyone who wants to get married can bring it up.
In New Zealand, although it seems that women's rights are in power, girls who generally want to get married will wait patiently for their boyfriends to propose.
7. Family economic model
People in China are not married, so money is shared.
Many New Zealanders have been married for many years, and their money is used separately.
8. Credit card
Few people in China owe money on their credit cards.
Few New Zealanders have credit cards that don't owe money, and the deposit interest rate of New Zealanders is -3%.
9. Save money
People in China earn money and deposit it in the bank. Don't worry.
New Zealanders spend their money first and then earn it, so it is common to borrow money to travel and buy a car.
gathering
When Chinese get together with friends, they usually go to eat (eat out or have dinner).
When New Zealanders get together with friends, they usually go for a drink.

1 1. Skin color
People in China pay attention to "one white covers all the ugliness", while women in China are afraid of blocking the black.
New Zealanders like wheat color and basking in the sun. Even though the government has repeatedly stressed that excessive snoring can lead to cancer, there are still many people sunbathing on the beach in summer and lying down most of the day.
12. Bathtub
People in China usually take a bath at night. Take a bath and go to bed cleanly.
New Zealanders usually take a bath in the morning. Take a bath and go to work refreshed.
13. Cook
People in China seldom follow the recipe completely.
New Zealanders will strictly refer to very detailed recipes when cooking and baking snacks. Grams and ounces are also clearly written on the cookbook, and every family has a measuring cup and spoon for the kitchen to ensure accuracy. A friend of Kiwi has gone to Shanghai and likes to eat Xiao Yang fried. When he comes back, he must try to do it himself. I found him some recipes, but the "small" on them is really difficult.
14. Backyard
Many people in China basically grow vegetables in their own backyard.
Ordinary New Zealanders grow flowers and plants in their backyard.
15. Change shoes
Most people in China will change/take off their shoes when they enter the house.
New Zealanders will wear shoes, tread on light carpets, and it is common for them not to change their shoes when entering the door. But I suggest that if you visit Kiwi's house, you'd better take off your shoes at the door.
