NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand lies about 1,000 miles east of Australia in the southwest Pacific Ocean. It consists of two large islands, North Island and South Island, and several smaller islands. First settled by a Polynesian group called the Maoris, New Zealand was later settled by Europeans and became a British colony. Today, New Zealand is an independent country with a culture greatly influenced by both the Maoris and the Europeans. Meet a respected tattoo artist who has studied tattoo design throughout the Pacific. Find out why the city of Rotorua's nickname is "Rotten-rua" and learn about a typical New Zealand school day.
