What does it mean to be a New Zealander?

An obvious response to that question would be: "to live in New Zealand", but to live in New Zealand means a lot more to me.
I think that being a New Zealand instantly makes you a better person (Mainly because this is one of the nicest and most polite places on earth), It also means that you can include various ethnicities into your daily life (such as Asian, Maori, and a lot more) and include them into their culture (Te Papa always had their exhibitions written in English and in Maori, and nearly every college has their own Haka). Their daily life consists of waking up and eating cereal and getting dressed to go to school (In a weekend they would eat a big breakfast made of bacon, eggs and orange juice). They usually take the bus to school. In the afternoon, they go home at 3:30 via bus, and most businesses close and go home at 5:30 - 6:00, Their big meal of the day is dinner, in which they can have a wide range of meals, Sweet potato and fish & chips being their typical meals. It's normal for them to go to bed at 8:00 and to be sleeping at 9:00, ready for their next day.
