Here's one thing that the Kiwis inherited from the colonizing British that I think is not so great: the separate sink faucets. While it looks charming and everything, there really is no way to get comfortable useful water temperature, unless you are trying to make hot chocolate or ice cold lemonade! =) The little dance of splashing alternatively from each faucet to the middle is not really satisfactory and it truly makes me wonder how we can have gotten to an age with wireless internet (sometimes!) and mobile phones (even on planes!) but not mixed water pipes! The mind boggles...
