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 Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article.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.

This posting is a call for support, Alzheimers Northland urgently needs donations to keep their services going. In their 30th year of providing life-changing services to Northlanders living with dementia, they should be celebrating but instead we are fighting to stay afloat. As a current board member and as a daughter of 2 wonderful parents who have both suffered from the affliction of dementia, I post this plea for support with a heart full of hope that it will resonate with someone who understands and is able to help.
Please open the link below to discover the wonderful things that the Alzheimers Northland society does and how you can help.
