With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.

Why did early settlers land in Petoni [correct spelling in the day].
Because it was the flat piece of land to unload ladies and children into canoes.
Wainuiomata held a great water resource, which continues today.

I'm worried about all the changes that have happened in my life but hoping to find a loving home to call my own. I am looking for an experienced person to care for me, and who has the patience to bring me out of my shell. My previous fosterer says that I can be a sweet girl in time, it just takes me a while to settle in. I enjoy playing with toys once I am comfortable and also hanging out next to humans I trust. I do have a small health concern to discuss. If you would like to meet me please don't hesitate to apply."

New case numbers have been bouncing around but the rolling average is still trending slowly downward.
The active cases graph looks weird because the Ministry has changed the category definition a couple of times to align with changes to isolation requirements. Most of the big drop on 18 March was due to this change, but the main takeaway is that active cases in the Wellington area are currently declining.
Hospitalisations are still up there, so take extra care to stay safe and healthy folks; we want to minimise the pressure on our hospitals.
