Nice one Himi …. to me as a kiwi living away from home, there’s a look that is distinctly New Zealand, that i still have trouble describing, but i know it when i see it – and this child has it…. it has something to to do with how Maori and Pakeha (in the broadest sense of ‘pakeha’ – ie, non-maori or polynesian) have blended over the generations since our cultures met. I reckon i would spot it anywhere in the world … i spot it over here in Aus all the time. Happy new year, too….
oh yeah mate, can spot them everywhere, even without the pounamu or bonecarving around te neck haha. we have a distinct stance and complexion as well as other tell tales. I’ve run into Kiwi’s everywhere and guessed right everytime. . . .and Maori’s are even easier (-:
