== == //**I learned about New Zealand. New Zealand is an island nation, which, in my opinion is pretty cool. It has some climate differences that are actually pretty interesting. They have a wet season that basically floods the islands, and they have a dry season, when they want it to be the wet season. It's near Australia, so it's below the equator. Their seasons are always opposite to ours, as you already know. **//  // **Not every thing is different though, New Zealand is also a democracy. Both of our countries were originally formed by British colonies. We both had natives that were here first and defended the land ( and may I add lost it to the colonies). We both have states, and i could go on but I think you get the point that we and New Zealand aren't as different as I may (or may not) have suggested. ** //
 * //I honestly thought that we'd learn about a country a lot like ours, but I was wrong. Not all countries are like the U.S. This is a country on the other side of the globe. I'm not used to thinking about that, or about how the world is out side of my home country. Do you ever spend so much time thinking about different situations besides your own? Or different climates, or food, or ascents, or even people? If not, you should know that I need to be reminded often in order to do that myself. //**
 * //However, learning about a different country was fun and inspiring. I'm lad that I got the opportunity learn about a different place. I got to see that not all countries are the same (or entirely different for that matter). It was honestly really cool to get read about how peoples lives are different from mine and how at the same time, even though it's on the other side of the globe, the world's take on justice still remains the same. //**
