That is a subjective statement; and it really it depends on what you consider "A LOT" to be... is that 1000 or 1,000,000?

Speaking in general, dojetdriver's description would not apply to most NZ'ers.

Here's some facts:

65 years and over: 11.9% (male 214,189/female 274,922) (2007 est.)

Husky chicks and all, it's still a great country. You should make a to trip New Zealand someday and see for yourself.
Well, when I wrote it, I didn't mean to imply that Maori people are ALL fat. What I meant was, it doesn't matter if they are Anglo, Maori, Tongon, Samoan, Fijian, whatever. The amount of females that were a little "husky" surprised me. Especially compared to Europe, Canada, and South America. And yep, I know that there are plenty of "large" women in the US as well. Like I said, I was surprised when I went there, relative to other parts of the world I have been.

And yep, it is a great county. As far as the other guy's comment about the carving. I'm sure it's seen as a very "touristy" thing to do. But the cultural center at Rotorua is a must see.
