First-time visitors should expect a central-city café with a steady stream of regulars. Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture.
