When I moved from New Zealand to the US, I didn't realize how much it would actually cost me. I moved from New Zealand to California more than 12 years ago after I met and married an American. Plus, I never stopped feeling the pull of home and the family I left behind in New Zealand. ADBack in New Zealand, however, I was used to — and raised in — a culture that encourages people to act humble. ADIt's also tough for my family overseas to visit the US, in part due to the exchange rate.

CNN —President Joe Biden made a gaffe during his visit to Ireland on Wednesday as he confused a rugby team with a controversial 1920s-era British police force. Biden was speaking at the Windsor Bar in Dundalk, Ireland, when he appeared to mistake New Zealand’s All Blacks rugby team with the Black and Tans, a brutal force deployed against rebels during the Irish War of Independence. He received the Irish team tie after they won against New Zealand at Soldier Field in Chicago in November 2016. “See this tie I have, this shamrock tie?” Biden said. He personally called the Irish rugby union team to congratulate them when they defeated New Zealand at the Aviva Stadium in 2021.
