Aotearoa, known in English as New Zealand, is an island country off the coast of Australia divided into two islands by the Cook Strait. The North Island contains the metropolis of Auckland and the South Island contains the southernmost capital city in the world, Wellington. Possibly constituting its own continent, this country virtually divided into two islands (by the Cook Strait) is home to their famous kiwis.
An attraction sure to give onlookers the chills is the haka. Popularized in rugby especially by the All Blacks, the haka is usually performed by large groups.
