How to dress as a kiwi on the ship.

[chesterbear]

I have rather enjoyed following this thread:

 

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2413339

 

But it brings up a rather serious issue for me. How to differentiate myself from all the Australians on the ship.

 

Don't get me wrong, Australia is great. For instance, I drive a Holden, shop at Australian stores that have set up here and watch Australian TV programmes. I also like to visit Australia. My late grandmother was even born in Wonthaggi.

 

I don't want the poms or yanks asking what state New Zealand is a part of. Or saying that our flag is missing some stars and our coins are weird.

 

Now as a female, budgie smugglers aren't an option. And I have to keep it classy. I already checked and you can't get a swandri dress and red band gumboot high heels.

 

Surely someone would have a suggestion or two?

I'm not sure you can, unless it was Maori dress.

To differentiate yourself from us uncouth Aussies, you should break into the haka to make us Aussies feel threatened, but we will join in if you let us. But what would you wear? A grass skirt or a black bikini with a fern on it?

Just start speaking about the six lots of Fish and Chips you recently had, they will very quickly realise that you are not an Aussie, and that you are a Kiwi.

Good point.

 

I wonder how that'll get through quarantine with the grass skirt. Maybe I should post ahead.

 

I could also bring a flax bag instead of a tote bag and/or clutch.

Just mention six and it'll raise their eyes.

Note to self... bring pen and paper to write down instead of saying six.

The answer is so simple you will kick yourself. Just wear a All Blacks jersey, you can wear it with pride and no Aussie would ever wear one. Ever.

Not even when an Aussie loses a trans-Tasman dare? [emoji74]

Wouldn't happen ever. Not even as a dare.

A Kiwi wouldn't want an Aussie wearing their jersey and a Aussie wouldn't wear one of their own accord.

You can refer to Australia the West Island.

I think the only reason why we haven't become one nation is who has ever heard of a nine pointed star.:eek:

[Newby58]

Or jandels, dairies and chilly bins.

That is true but then they lick those stains clean each night.;)

They want to stand out so they don't look like Aussies, apparently they already know they are not that cool but don't know how to do it.:cool:

I drink more wine than beer so it's more likely to be lindauer stains [emoji6]

I think any one who spills their beer or wine has a drinking problem. The whole idea is to swallow it without spilling.;)
