That is a very complicated question for Siri. You might've done better to add something more general like give me the names of a few towns in New Zealand in a certain region and specify that region and then men maybe if you're lucky she would come up with a list of names or sent you to a website about all about New Zealand and that particular region you are funny though. In fact if you were to ask Siri how funny you were or if you were funny see what she might have to say if she had a memory about the kinds of questions you asked then she might actually have something clever to say.
