Geography lessons

Today, some people in my class here in New Zealand found out that I'm from Canada, then spent the rest of the period asking if I had a pet moose and whether or not I lived in an igloo. They were completely genuine questions. FML

I dunno, I'm from Australia and I don't know if it's the same with New Zealanders but we're rpetty good at asking people ridiculous questions with a straight face. Then again maybe I just think NZ'ers should know better given the ridiculous questions they get from visiting tourists...

Question: when you are eating dinner in your igloo, do you drink maple syrup or does it go on the food?

That's funny because it's generally the other way around, with North Americans asking us (Aussies and Kiwis) if we have electricity, or if we have kangaroos roaming the streets. The answer to that last one, incidentally, is 'sometimes' - usually in country areas of course, where there are large patches of grassland nearby. I'm not sure what the Kiwi equivalent would be.

Do you have electricity!? Haha, really? As an American, I just want you Aussies to answer me one thing... Is there a 42 Wallaby Way in Sydney, and does someone named P. Sherman live there?
