Notes

Summary: This book takes a light-hearted look at what it means to be Kiwi. With short entries, bullet-pointed lists and text blocks, the author provides detail about the land of the long white cloud. Included are lists of Kiwis the Aussies claim as their own, DIY inventors who have made it on the world stage, and the national heroes. You can learn how to give a Maori greeting and crack the code of Kiwi-speak, discover facts about the kiwi bird, events held through the year. You'll also find local knowledge, sporting codes, cooking tips, a kiwi glossary, how to eat, dress and swear like a Kiwi, and a potted list of the essential attributes that make up the Kiwi character.
