Today I met a New Zealand Singer!
His name is Sam, and he sings for a New Zealand reggae band called Sons of Zion. I, of course, don't really know their music. I checked in with a friend of mine later, and she said I was wrong about it being religious (Zion is a pretty common religious reference)... She's the one who told me they're reggae. Ha.
One thing I like about New Zealand accents is that it has this adorable upward inflection where everything just sounds and seems interesting, and it's cute. If you've watched Thor: Ragnarok, the director voices one of the CGI characters... And it. Is. Great. It also sounds exactly like what I'm talking about. Check this video out here. To me, it's the only way I can tell someone's from NZ vs Australia. Haha. I just think they sound nicer.
