Looking at New Zealand today: how and where did our "culture" come from? How did it evolve? Influenced from overseas? Or home grown?

We seem to be shy to show off our talents, why is that?

Maybe we are just happy to be homebodies appreciating each other, but secretly wanting to work our way up from the kitchen to the stage.

Tearing open a can of beans for lunch at the family bach is just fine - till the fork needs cleaning again....
