New Zealand Way of Life
New Zealand have a high standard of living. New Zealanders eat more butter and meat per person than do the people of any other country. The government's medical program provides excellent health care. About 70% of New Zealand people own their houses. Almost every family has a car.
Most New Zealanders live in singlefamily houses with a small vegetable gardens. In the larger cities, some people live in highrise apartment build-ings. Almost in every New Zealand home there are refrigerators, wash mash-ines, and other mod- ern electrical appliances. But air conditioning and cen-tral heating are rare because the weather rarely becomes extremely hot or ex-tremely cold. In summer, New Zealanders prefer to keep windows open. In winter, fireplaces or electric heater keep the homes warm.
Although about fourfifths of New Zealand's population live in urban ar-eas, cities are uncrowded. Traffic jams seldom occur, even in downtown are-as. Large cities have excellent restaurants, milk bars, theatres, concert halls, and other places of entertainment. City life in New Zealand tends to be ra-ther quiet. However it is changing in larger cities, where international tour-ism is developing rapidly.
Near a fifth of New Zealand's people live in rural areas – in some of them, small settlements are linked by good roads. But in other areas, rancher's nearest neighbours may live kilometers away. Some ranchers live almost in isolation. Nev- ertheless, most farms and ranches have electricity. Many farm families run their farms with little or no hired help.
