“How many years ago did you get on the plane to come here?” Late Show host asks John Key.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, in the United States to address the United Nations General Assembly on climate change and anti-nuclear policy, made a brief appearance Thursday night on the “Late Show With David Letterman” to boost interest in New Zealand tourism with his “Top Ten Reasons You Should Visit New Zealand.”

Letterman introduced Key by describing New Zealand one of the five best destinations in the world, according to Conde’ Nast Traveler.

“New Zealand is a wonderland, isn’t it?” Letterman asked Key.

“Sure is, Dave,” Key responded.

In case you missed it, here’s the “Top Ten Reasons To Visit New Zealand“:

10. Auckland airport now has Cinnabon.

9. We have the loosest slot machines in the Pacific rim.

8. It’s only a convenient 20-hour flight away.

7. It’s like England, without the attitude.

6. Leno’s on at 9 o’clock .

5. Get the whanau together, stay in a bach, crack open the chilly bin and slap on your jandals.

4. Visit in the next 30 days, and I’ll pick you up at the airport.

3. 70% of our energy is generated through renewable sources – They don’t all have to be jokes

2. We drive on the left side of the road, like the British and Lindsay Lohan.

1. Unlike most of the world, we still like Americans.
