Todd: So, Mark, what do Kiwis like to do in the summer?


Mark: Yeah, I think the first thing for some people to realise 1 is that Christmas is midsummer in New Zealand.


Todd: Oh nice!


Mark: So kiwis combine Christmas holiday and New Year holiday with a summer vacation as well.

I can remember when I was small we’d have family Christmases and then the next day, which is Boxing Day, we’d go to the beach or we’d travel somewhere and rent a small house on the beach. They call them ‘batches’ in the north of the island or ‘cribs’ in the south island. And you just spend 4, 5 days, maybe a week, 2 weeks, just swimming in the sea, playing in the sand dunes 2, walks in the forest: just a really relaxing time with family and family friends.


Todd: That sounds nice, so you know in Australia they’re really big on surfing. Do a lot of people surf in New Zealand?


Mark: There is a surfing population. I think the Australian beaches are probably much larger and

maybe they have better waves, I don’t know, but several of my friends used to go on surfing holidays in summer as well.


Todd: And what foods do people like to eat when they get together for the summer?


Mark: Barbecue is almost the national obsession 3 in summertime, you know, you’d just throw a sausage on the barbie or friends would ring up and say ‘hey, it’s a nice night, let’s have a barbie!’. I think all my friends have their own barbecue set.


Todd: Ok, what meats do people barbecue?


Mark: Again, New Zealand foods used to very much sort of be the lamb or beef, but now it’s getting a lot more varied 4, you can grill 5 a nice fish on the barbecue, you can still have sausage, chicken, pork, beef, lamb, whatever you want.


Todd: Yeah, it sounds good. Ok, well thanks, Mark.


Mark: Ok.
