Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.

micro plastic in tea bags

Leonie from Foxton

After reading the article someone posted earlier on this subject, I went to Urban Myths to check it out, and found it is even worse than I thought. It is not only tea bags, but bottled water also contain them. Lots of articles, but this one I found the most informative.
