One of the most interesting museums in New Zealand, which is worth visiting while in this country, is considered to be the New Zealand Police Museum, which is one of the unofficial ten best police museums in the world.
The model for its creation was the Crime Museum of the English Scotland Yard. Until 1996, the museum was closed to outsiders and was used exclusively for internal purposes by the New Zealand police.
Now the museum is open for free visits, and its numerous expositions will tell in detail the entire long history of the police in this country.

Colonial Cottage Museum
Crossing the threshold of the Colonial Cottage Museum, visitors find themselves thrown back in time a century and a half ago. They did not try to artificially recreate the atmosphere of the XIX century - here it was miraculously preserved by the descendants of William Wallace, the man who built this house with his own hands.
The Colonial Cottage is the oldest building in central Wellington. It was built in 1858 as the family home of William Wallis and his young wife Catherine, who came from England in search of a better life. Their heirs lived in the cottage until the end of the 70s of the XX century.
Today, it houses a museum, which displays numerous historical exhibits that tell about the life of the colonists. The original furniture, wallpaper, dishes, children's toys and other items of the Wallis family make it feel like the owners have just stepped out and are about to return. The kitchen - the center of family life - reflects the era when there was no modern equipment, and everything had to be done by hand.
The cottage is surrounded by a garden with fruit trees, vegetable beds and flower beds. It is available free of charge every day during daylight hours. In a small shop at the museum, you can buy canned fruit from the fruits collected in this wonderful garden.

National Museum Te Papa Tongareva
The name of the museum Te Papa Tongareva translated from the Maori language means "our place", but literally - "the place where the treasures of this land lie." This is one of the largest museums in the world.
The compositional distribution of collections in the museum is determined by the multi-level arrangement of thematic expositions. Exhibits from the National Art Collection are housed at all levels of the museum. A high-tech interactive exhibition is located on the second level. From here, access to the Bush City sections opens. On the fifth level, short-term exhibitions are held. There is also a scientific laboratory and a reading room of the museum's library. Galleries dedicated to the culture of the Polynesians, Maori and the history of European development of New Zealand are assigned the fourth level.
This is one of the world's largest cultural centers. Visiting the Te Papa Tongareva Museum, you will go from artifacts of the ancient Majori tribes and dinosaur skeletons to modern art and advanced information technology.

Reserve Bank of New Zealand Museum
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand Museum reveals almost state secrets to its visitors. Here you will not only be introduced to the country's banking system, but will also answer many interesting questions: "How much gold is in the main vault of the country's Reserve Bank?" or "Where do old and damaged bills go to?"
Here you can get acquainted with the design development process for banknotes and see a real money printing press. Museum visitors can see the very first working MONIAC \u200b\u200beconometric computer. Monetary National Income Analogue Computer was created by Bill Phillips, who is also called "New Zealand's Steve Jobs." In 1940, this was a real breakthrough in computer technology.

New Zealand Police Officer Victoria KIRICHUK visited Russia through the International Police Association (IPA). She told about her service to the correspondent of "Shield and Sword":
I come from Odessa. After graduating from the Faculty of Economics and Law of Odessa University (specializing in management of foreign economic activity), in 2002 she moved to New Zealand.
At first, I did not even think about serving in the police - a good knowledge of English provided many other opportunities. She taught English to foreigners, for which she received an appropriate diploma. Was in the role of assistant manager in a company selling navigation maps and devices.
I accidentally came to a seminar on the police and realized: this is my chance to gain life experience in a new country in a short time.
What I don’t regret is not to be bored. In our police, employees are divided into two groups: officers and civilians. Becoming an officer is not easy. You can enter the royal college, where they are prepared, by passing numerous exams and tests. It took me two years to prepare for admission. Among the subjects being handed over are exact sciences. At the same time, for example, a mathematical problem had to be solved in a matter of minutes without using a calculator. There are also unusual requirements: before the start of the studies, it is necessary to visit four operational trips with the current employees, and then get feedback from them about the candidate - whether they want to see him in their ranks.
Much attention is paid to role-playing games, where experienced policemen act as “criminals”, “witnesses” and “victims”, and students must apply the theoretical knowledge gained in practice. Those who “fall short” of the required level are left to retake exams during the holidays - the scholarship is not paid for free.
After graduating from college, which is located in the capital, I received a junior officer's rank - constable. The next rank, strange as it may sound, is Sergeant. And not every constable is destined to ever become a sergeant, let alone receive the rank of inspector. We do not have an automatic assignment of the next title “by length of service”. In other words, career development in the police depends only on yourself, or rather, on your efforts. Police college graduates are sent exclusively to operational work for the first two years. This is a response to incidents of all kinds, including crimes of any level.
Then again exams, tests - and so on all the time: during the service you have to constantly confirm your qualifications. By the way, the level of requirements for the training of police officers in New Zealand is higher than anywhere else in the world. For example, in neighboring Australia, the standards of physical fitness are two times lower. And in the USA, in turn, it is half that of the Australians. Service does not seem like honey: night shifts, business trips, high personal responsibility for decisions and strict discipline. I don’t complain about the salary and I want to note that there is no corruption in the police in New Zealand.
Any officer here is endowed with broad powers: we can, for example, without notifying the superiors, conduct an inquiry, arrest. Distance learning, advanced training, language learning and any other work on oneself are encouraged. And in general, it is an honor to be an officer. Now I work in the division for ensuring traffic safety on highways. This allows me to devote more time to passing examinations for the detective position, which opens up additional opportunities for career advancement, especially for women. The fairer sex is a “privileged class” in New Zealand in general and in the police force in particular. At the same time, “equality” is being demonstrated in every possible way.
In practice, this is expressed in the fact that everyone is wearing the same uniform - from a distance you cannot distinguish a woman from a man. Today, my colleagues and I usually have to deal with preventive and preventive measures. In our country, most crimes are committed on a domestic basis. These are mainly family fights with violence. Therefore, we try to respond promptly to every call and, if necessary, force the brawler to leave his house for five days, without the right to approach him. In this case, the offender moves to relatives, acquaintances or to a hotel.
With a large budget, the New Zealand police are well equipped. There are no problems with transport. Each vehicle is equipped with a computer with access to a database, a safe for weapons, and dispatch communications. Our security is monitored. For example, if we stop the car for inspection, we immediately report this to the dispatcher, after the completion of the inspection - again the report. We do not get in touch - he calls. We do not answer - raises the alarm. About 20 years ago, when leaving for work, people did not lock their doors. Now the atmosphere of trust has been preserved only in the countryside, where everyone knows each other. But in cities it’s different.
Oddly enough, the state's social concern for the poor worsens the crime situation. There have been several generations of people receiving unemployment benefits. Adolescents in such families have no incentive to do something useful. And why, if the example of non-working parents is before your eyes? However, these people barely have enough money for a modest life. And around there are many different temptations for which money is needed. The influx of immigrants who do not take into account the traditions of New Zealand has caused an increase in the level of serious and especially serious crimes, which were practically absent not so long ago.
This situation has led to a change in the regulation of carrying weapons. If now we only have truncheons and gas canisters with us, then soon almost all employees will go on duty with weapons. In New Zealand, the police force is used not only to restore order, but also in emergencies. For example, after the recent earthquake that destroyed the city of Christchurch, we helped the victims - we pulled people out from under the rubble and provided them with assistance. There are special programs here that support a positive image of law enforcement officers.
Sports competitions "Blue Flasher" are held for children, where they overcome a real obstacle course designed to test the level of physical training of current police officers. There is a children's summer camp where counselors from the ranks of the police are recruited. I had a chance to work with teenagers from low-income families there. And the "difficult" guys are sent to sailing ships in the sea - to temper their character. The police also work with those who have problems of a different order, such as overly shy and insecure children. To maintain the high rank of “policeman”, we must always conform to the traditional “noble” image. Therefore, the penalties for undermining the authority of the police, the policeman are very strict.
If an officer gets drunk outside of working hours, got into a fight, or there was an accident because of him, you will have to say goodbye to the service. We are prohibited by law from unionizing, but there is a Volunteer Police Association. In practice, it protects the interests of the police and provides them with some additional opportunities, such as preferential insurance, bank loans with a reduced interest rate. However, the real advantage of working in the police force is long paid leave - about 60 days a year, which can be split into parts. In addition, there is an opportunity to take two years of sabbatical at your own expense, and then return to work. As such, we do not have a professional holiday like Police Day, but it is customary to celebrate the memory of those killed in service on September 29 - the Day of St. Michael, the patron saint of police. Officers can communicate with their counterparts from different countries through the International Police Association (IPA), in which I am a member.
I first learned about its existence during the arrival of a delegation from Russia, when I was asked to be a translator. At the moment, I have been elected to the governing body of the IPA New Zealand, and my public duties include coordinating contacts with colleagues from the countries of the former USSR. When I found out that I was being sent to the International Conference of Young Police Officers in Amsterdam, I decided to take the opportunity and visit the offices of the IPA Russia in Moscow and St. Petersburg. I would like to express my gratitude to all Russian colleagues who provided an interesting program for my visit and thereby pushed the level of our communication to the next level. I hope that, if necessary, in my turn, I will be useful in organizing a working visit of representatives of the IPA of Russia to New Zealand.
“I always knew that I would leave,” says a former Volgograd woman, but today a resident of Auckland Daria... Her dad is a passionate admirer of "abroad", dreamed that his daughter lived in a normal country with good economic conditions, and forgot the difficult nineties as a bad dream. The dream came true a little more than six months ago. After living in different cities of Russia, the girl packed her suitcases and moved to New Zealand. What qualities of the locals impressed her the most and what should be feared for those who want to visit this country, Daria told AiF.ru.
So brave
New Zealand was chosen for many reasons: it is beautiful, safe (low crime rate, plus it is far from the international political turmoil with oil and wars), a moderate migration policy, affordable prices for education and its high quality! And also the ocean 10 minutes from home, crazy sunsets and sunrises, +17 in winter - you can even sunbathe!
I went to this country alone. Everyone said: “You are so brave! How much courage and courage does it take to decide on such a thing? " And I just didn't feel anything, I took it and did it, didn't think, didn't analyze. On the machine I collected things, documents, looked for housing. I have forbidden myself to be afraid. The fear would have left me at home, so I decided to turn it off along with other emotions. Because of this, there was no joy at all, a feeling of emptiness overwhelmed me. It took a while to get rid of him.
Cleanliness and tidiness
From the Moscow frosts, I got into the New Zealand summer! Such a gift! I just walked like crazy through the streets, the city, in the parks, went to the beaches. I must say that everything here is so conveniently done, humanly: paths, benches, areas for cyclists, sports grounds, drinking fountains, free clean toilets. In Auckland, they drink water from the tap. A variety of drinking bottles and lunch boxes are in trend. Everyone takes food with them and eats somewhere in nature. The streets are incredibly clean: you can walk at home in shoes without taking off your shoes. And there is also carpet everywhere: from the entrance of the apartment to the floor covering in the train and bus. It can be seen that the citizens are taken care of here! Auckland is a very beautiful, cozy and young city. A lot of students, all people look happy, will easily stop to chat with you on the street or in a bar and ask where you are from. And when they hear that I am from Russia, they immediately ask: “Why New Zealand? And how do you like it here? "
Am I in Asia?
I thought there was more white population here. Sorry if this sounded racist, but it's true! On the first day, waking up after a terrible jet lag, I decided to have dinner not far from my house. My apartment is located in the city center: City. Then I got the feeling that I was in Asia! Then I found out that the whole thing is in the area: in the City there are a lot of students from Asian countries, in other parts of the city it is not so, and even on the South Island, and even more so, the population is more New Zealand, they call themselves "Kiwi". I didn't expect such a multicultural environment.
There are not many Russians in New Zealand. They treat us well and respectfully. Personally, I am always cautiously asked if I drink vodka and what I think of Putin. My Kiwi friends love Russian literature and cinema, follow the news.
Life on pause
New Zealanders are a very relaxed nation with an almost paused pace of life. The work ends at 4 pm, in the summer they go out of town. They love their country to madness and are proud of it.
Locals are very eco-oriented, many vegetarians or those who eat "gluten free" products, drink soy or almond milk instead of normal, that is, a little "confused" on it. They enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, beach trips, surfing or kiteboarding. Sometimes they seem to me a little like children living on their beautiful island in good economic, social and weather conditions. Perhaps that is why it is such an open and friendly nation that receives people from all over the world equally hospitably. Nationalism is strongly condemned here, and any forms of it are strictly suppressed.
An unpleasant surprise
I didn't expect life here to be so expensive. At first I translated everything into rubles, and the prices seemed wild to me. Now I'm used to it! Sometimes I spend more than I get working 20 hours a week (visa restrictions). According to my calculations, to live a normal life, you need $ 400 per week per person.
The average manager's salary is about $ 25 an hour. The minimum wage is 15.75. This is the cost of living established by the state. It is real and you can really live on it! Not like in Russia. But at the same time, the entire service sector is expensive. For example, a plumber visit can cost you $ 300, a hairdresser $ 100!
The land of delicious food
The food here is incredibly delicious. Everything I tried, at first caused me a taste delight. Even McDonald's cannot be compared with the Russian one. I had no idea that there could be such delicious burgers! The range of products is huge. Of course, at first it was unusual, because I did not even suspect about 70% of brands!
There is a lot of street food, the takeaway system is developed (you order food in a restaurant and eat it at home, it’s cheaper), a lot of burgers, kebabs, noodles, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese cuisine. Diversity makes your head spin! I really fell in love with spicy food here and especially chili. My eating habits have changed a lot.
Another interesting fact: coffee is drunk here in huge quantities. Despite the fact that it costs $ 4-5. Your morning cup of coffee will invigorate you until lunchtime. After dinner, I do not risk drinking it, otherwise there is a chance not to fall asleep.
No tension
It's completely safe in New Zealand! No hostile environment: neither natural nor social. There is not even a single dangerous insect, animal or plant here. My Kiwi friends say, "The only thing that can kill you in this country is your own stupidity." The level of tension in society is so low that it is even unusual! I have never encountered any negative expressions, and the police are very friendly here.
