Kiwibloke looks for rogues in Rivendale
Whilst Kiwiland is inhabited by both hobbits and Dark Lords, according to Forbes Traveller, New Zealand is an ultra safe destination for travelling humans:
Kiwis are much more into harming themselves (via rugby or bungee jumping) than assaulting others. As a result, New Zealand boasts among the lowest violent crime rates in the Western world. The islands are too far south to attract tropical cyclones, too far north for Antarctic blizzards. The last fatal earthquake was 1968.
Also included in the list was Singapore, the Swiss, Bhutan and our friends the Irish.
The French are touring New Zealand at the moment and are suffering at the hands of the All Blacks however.

To be fair, I know what you are referring too, but it was a very rare event. Nowhere is 100% safe, not even New Zealand.
I agree NZ is a wonderfull place to visit, and if you say it is safe, then I start thinking trying it
when i have my vacation at NZ i find the place to lovely and very environmental.
i wish i could come back once again.
