New Zealand has a diverse history and culture, with the North and South Islands separated by Cook Strait. The capital is Wellington, and the largest city is Auckland. Maori culture has significantly influenced New Zealand, including traditions like the hongi greeting and hangi cooking method. English is the primary language, though Maori is also spoken. Rugby is a national passion, and the landscape offers opportunities for both extreme and more leisurely outdoor pursuits like wine tasting or mountain scenery at Lake Taupo. Maori tattoos also hold cultural significance as symbols of history and identity.
