> I didn't need one. I have US citizenship through my mother, who came from here originally. I don't consider myself an American in any sense except on paper, but it's certainly very useful having that. I travelled on my US passport, and when I go back home I'll travel on my NZ one.

I realize it's very likely just an age thing, but most of the friends i've had were so excited to get their passports (generally college students on their first one) would do it just the opposite. Some people take getting their passport stamped WAY too seriously.
