So you've heard about that little slice of paradise all the way down there next to Australia? Maybe your friends have recently returned and told you of its beauty? Perhaps it's "crystal clear" waters or "golden sand" beaches? Sorry pal, but we're here to reveal the truth about New Zealand. 

1)They're confused. Is it a beach or is it a forest?! New Zealand seems to always have their nature mixed up. ​

Abel Tasman National Park

2) It's way to early in New Zealand. Being the first country in the world to see the new light of day, it's always early in NZ.

Mount Maunganui (Or, "The Mount" to the locals)

3) Unpractical. Seriously? Who would live in these.

4) It stinks. New Zealand has waaay too many natural geothermal attractions.

5) Creepy Glowing caves. No thanks.

6) Did we mention there's Too much nature?

7)They're crazy. They have an obsession with throwing themselves off high objects.

8) Sometimes land based objects aren't enough.

Sky Diving, Fox Glacier

9) So much hiking. Why would you put those all the way up there?

Emerald Lakes, Tongariro Crossing

10) There's no one around. Where is everyone?!

11) And when you find a city, it looks like this. Yuck.
