New Zealand accents put me in a trance. One of my TAs is from NZ and whenever he goes over class related stuff, I like zone out and then I snap out of it and it's like, oh crap, did I just miss the homework assignment? It's just such a pleasant accent. I bet fussy babies can listen to it and go right to sleep.
Yes, that's why the child mortality rate is so high here, we just can't shut up.

People regularly ask me where I'm from, not just because of my lack/excess of an accent, but also because of my colouring/features in general. Common guesses include: Russian, Portugeuse (?), American, Canadian, Fijian and Malaysian. In conclusion, I should be a spy!
