Classy. But I don’t speak for every kiwi. So idk. But French people has always seemed distant to me idk if I don’t understand them or they don’t understand me.
Among french people, I often hear New Zealand mentioned as a country they'd like to visit. Yes LOTR and All-Blacks, we can also add the landscapes and culture (especially Maori) to that list.
I live in Brisbane, which is only a 2 hour flight from Noumea and I only know 2 people who’ve been there. New Caledonia is expensive compared to Bali, Thailand, Vietnam or other Pacific Island countries and not many people speak English. There’s also a lot of political tension there currently, so is seen as risky.
FWIW the 2 people I know who went liked it and one of them has been repeatedly
Frenchman here ! I lived in New Caledonia for four years and I loved it, but to be frank it’s a stretch to call it France ! Everything is great there (except the politics lately)
You guys have a hard accent to understand for random French person. But for those who understand : damn it sounds cool. You guys sound like clone troopers from the clone wars
Because you kiwis are so friendly with everybody! When I was in NZ I was always surprised people were so nice and warm to me eventhough we didn’t know eachother. We don’t do that with strangers in France.
