I knew new zealand and Australia only for their cricket teams. I don't know why but I always thought new zealand was near america.
When I learned hugh jackman is a aus and that he loves cricket, I was so happy.
Just in last two years I come to know many nz entertainers, taika, how to dad, etc. I like their humor.
I learned that nz is near Australia by a subreddit- r/mapswithoutnz.
