We were received by an old New Zealand lady who was very unfriendly. She must have been dissatisfied with the previous Chinese guests. The old lady’s English pronunciation was not accurate. She pronounced milk as mulk. We didn’t understand it at all. She slapped the table at us. , they all say that New Zealand’s service industry is very good, but I have personally experienced that it is much worse than China’s service industry.
