Differences and similarities between Chile and New Zeland

Between Chile and New Zealand we can find both cultural and social differences and also similarities. First we can start with a difference, the aborigin culture in Chile is the Mapuche culture and in New Zealand they are the Maori, in NZ they respect a lot that culture and the Maori also have influence in politics, also the society accepts them, but in Chile the Mapuche are not respected and there a lot of problems with them. Another difference between Chile and New Zealand is that in NZ Dinner is really important, because it is the moment that all the family is together, they can talk and share things about their day. At breakfast time and lunch they don't eat a lot, that is not the same as Chile because the most important time to eat for us is lunch and at dinner we don't eat too much. Also we were colonized by the spanish empire and they were conquered by the british empire so we have alot of different foods, habits and sports. Two examples of that is that they eat fish and chips that is a typical food from England, also they play cricket and rugby. The most important difference for me is that New Zeland is a really secure place and also it is realy clean because no one writes things in the walls(grafitti). A similarity is the weather because it is really windy and it is simiar to the weather at the south of Chile.
