Default Kiwis - are they a friendly bunch?

One thing to bear in mind , some Maori don't like direct eye contact , or prolonged eye contact ,therefore ,you may catch their eye in the street ,but they will nod and tend to look at the floor or away. This i found out to be cultural ,and not a slur. as is pointing and shouting at moari, not really exceptable,especailly in teaching.[/quote:01eae79360]

that's good to know. I feel like there's so much I have to learn before November! :icon_neutral: :icon_eek: icon_exclaim.gif
