We don't let sheep vote here, despite being outnumbered by them. We also have no romantic relationships with them either.

Australians suck and are terrible at sport. Don't pick on them though, because we're the Pacific redneck brothers. Only we can pick on Australians.

You always know when Tonga or Samoa is playing a sports match, because you'll see the flags and hear the cars tooting everywhere.

Guy Fawkes is a real big deal. Fireworks will be going all week.

All the fish and chip shops are owned by Chinese, all the dairies by Indians, and all the bakeries by Cambodians.

you are writing about a place where every second person is prone to skin cancer and you don't even notice it... It's just like a cold (illness ) for you. And the fact that you live so far from the rest of the world that if you have the opportunity, you certainly try to escape from the country (despite the high level of prosperity of the country). And you can't swimming in ocean.... water is cold, evenin summer...
