This is a thread about New Zealand.
If you are not interested, make your own thread.
I once met an Australian on a backpacking tour of the UK and said he could come to NZ and work in 'The outback' theme pub as the Australian, and he wouldn't really need a costume. Most pubs seem to be parodies of other, more exotic places because the reality of a NZ pub is that nothing like that exists, it's a just a trough full of beer for when we had the old 'six o'clock swill' regulation. Otherwise, Nzers don't really bother going out to pubs at all. They get their liquor from the bottle shops and drink it at home in front of their children....otherwise they'd have to leave the kids in the car while they are hanging out in the pub.
It's like the British girls who work as Moulin Rouge dancers who pretend to be French for the British tourists because no respectable French girl would REALLY want to work in the Moulin Rouge.
