Moving to New Zealand next year-are there any main differences?

Hi, I'm 14 (eighth grade) and my mom's job just got moved to Auckland, and I'm moving there at the end of the year. I'm excited but nervous at the same time because all of my friends and family live in the US! But I do have some questions about New Zealand.

--Is it like Australia? Lol I know you might get offended by that but I've seen Australian movies, tv shows, met the people, so I know a bit about that country. Is NZ very similar?

--Is the technology the same? (Will I be able to use my MacBook and iPhone?)

--Are the kids like the US kids, or are they into totally different stuff?

--What is the school year like?

--Will people think it's totally weird that I'm American? Are there any there, and do they hate the US?

--Does everyone speak English? I saw on Wikipedia that there are 'Mauri' people, so.

-Is the New Zealand money way different?

-What are the primary differences between American and New Zealand culture?

Thats actualy pretty cool, go to youtube and search new zealand and you will find alot of videos there. New zealand is a place I would like to visit.
