RE: Burn for you

That was incredible. Amazing pictures, the very experience of flying on a helicopter, wow! At that price, though, I doubt I'll be doing it any time soon 😗
Being so close, how is the relationship between Australians and New Zelanders? Historical friends or enemies?

Sort:  

It was a great experience and really I hope you get to do it someday.

We are allies and went to war together in WW1 and WW2 under the name ANZAC (Australian New Zealand Army Corps). We don't do that anymore, but are still friendly countries. We have a strong rivalry and can often be found teasing each other quite brutally, but we like each other really. You need to be an Aussie or Kiw to understand it.

Good question though smarty pants. Lol.

Hahaha! Thanks
I thought there was something like that. I have heard some coments on sport events and in some movies, but was not sure. I guess it would be similar to Venezuelans and Colombians. Historical brothers, share many things (especially towns that share border), but can say very insulting things to each other.

The other day I watched a video of a colombian senator saying that for decades they felt (and were treated by us) like the ugly sister, the poor relative; now it's venezuela the one looking pretty bad and begging for crumbs. She wanted to appear like she was sorry and hoping that we learned the lesson, but I think she was enjoying the change of fortune.

Yep, so you clearly understand exactly then! ✅

We have a strong sporting rivalry with the New Zealanders and are often to be found bantering back and forth, most of it not complimentary. One of the worst insults is when Aussies reference the New Zealanders enjoyment of engaging in coitus with sheep - There's a lot of sheep in New Zealand. Sheep f^^kers is the exact terminology. Not very nice, possibly not true, but one of the more common terms of endearment. They fire it back of course, and the rivalry continues.

We have bled in the trenches with them though, and would do so again. We call them cousins, not as close as an ugly sister but close enough.

Lol! Oh, my god, that sounds horrible. Well, we know now that with the massive migration to Colombia, Venezuelans became a pest and Colombians have not spared any "compliments".
I think that the horrible treatment many Venezuelans have received in Colombia, especially women, will be used in the future, especially if Colombia's economy ever falls and ours ever improves. True, many Venezuelans (who were delinquents) went there to commit crimes, but it is not fair that a whole country pays for the faults of a few.

It's not horrible, it's fun. Like I said, you'd need to be Australian or a New Zealander to understand.
