Because it's a really beautiful country, largely unstained by the problems that infest other Western countries (immigration, specifically), is affordable, yet still has all the luxuries a rich cunt might require.
It's paradise, but don't even think about going there cunts. It's full.

chinamen buy overseas real estate because in chinese culture owning land is the traditional way to store your wealth. however in mainland china you cant own a property for longer than 70 years or so before ownership returns to the state. therefore chinamen buy overseas properties when possible, if not they buy empty concrete boxes in ghostcity apartment blocks.

I lived there for 8 years and can confirm - it's full of absolutely fuck all.

I heard that it's a first strike target, well a bit of it anyway. There's some sort of relay/co-ordination station that's pretty important. Might be those big old inflatable dome things that got raided by smelly hippies a few years ago, I can't quite remember.

Without a doubt. You soon get sick of watching a haka before every sporting event, whenever someone famous arrives from abroad, whenever someone dies, etc, etc.
Hakas, an obsession with finding a 'kiwi connection' in every news story, an inexplicable idea that they are 'small but important' and general penny pinching that makes a scot look like a reckless spender. NZ is crap.
Lovely views, nice weather, great beaches; but as over-rated as it gets.

I used to like thursday though. Thursday nights used to have double Cops, Bob's Burgers and Family Guy all one after the other. It was heaven compared to any other evening's tv which pretty much says it all.
It's like that for everything there, you find the one bit of mediocrity and convince yourself it's the best thing ever - like going online for a whole evening without the connection crapping out for an hour or two.
It's not first world, the poverty is rife, the houses are damp, they have a 'kiwi can do' attitude which is basically due to the fact they can't afford to buy anything new and even if they could, it'd be too expensive for them.
Clothes of subhuman quality that they buy from the warehouse because it's cheap. Shit, absolute shit.

those spy stations are in sparsely populated areas. they could probably get nuked with out any casualties. a nuke wouldn't even be necessary to take them out anyway.
