Talking to friend today about Kiwi's, I was saying that we are not very good at saying what we want or don't want. However if we don't get what we want or expect, rather than confront the issue, we will skirt around it and tell 25 other people about how bad we were treated or whatever the complaint it.
Contrasting this with European people, for example people from Germany, who will tell you exactly what they want or don't want. If they dont want to talk to you, they will say "I don't want to talk to you now".
As Kiwi's we are most offended by such comments where as it is normal practice for other nationalities to express themselves honestly.
Something we all need to understand about each other, especially other cultures coming in to care for New Zealanders/
