I'm putting a lot of consideration (with my GF) to move.. I was considering this last year some time aswel, some may remember the thread. I'm a web designer, and I have heard great things about new zealand for people like myself. There are a hell of a lot of these types of companies over there.

My GF has stated if we do move its got to be NZ. I suggested the same because of the above, and I have heard nothing bad of the place to be honest. I guess what im looking for is information that may be of use to me to further help me decide what to do, where abouts in NZ to move to (wellington in my mind atm) and such...

How is the economy over there? costs of rent, food, gas etc.

Any info from someone over there would be great Cool

Cartoon lives there iirc?

I generally hate traveling but NZ is definitely one of the places I'd like to visit, so definitely go for it if you have the chance imo.

Hey mate i am from Wellington , New Zealand

Cant tell you to much since its 3am and just got back from the cricket (2020 New Zealand vs India which we won on the last ball! Very Happy) and i am fucking munt as fuck.

But yeah.. its a awesome place.. i f ucking love it..

- Rent.. same as anywhere in the world.. it changes so so so so much on where etc.

- Economy is not as bad as everywhere else in the world.. unemoplyment is predicted to rise a bit to like 6% odd.. however our banks are in perfect order... and therte are no bailouts etc.. just big gov spending on roads and tax cuts.

- Food is alot cheaper and alot better.

- Petrol is also cheaper.

- Wages are lower thou.. but imho quality of lifestyle more than makes up for it.

- Immigration laws are fucking tough thou... if ur scum and have no job .. cant speak english etc u wont get in.. however being from the UK it should be ok.

Ill copy some photos and stuff from the old photo thread for u

Driving down to my house (Not a smart thing to do taking photos when your driving)


View from where my other house is out over wellington harbour @ the ferry going out. (I live in 2 houses)


Zoomed in on the ferry


Just driving..... pointing my camera out to the side


Sun gone down..


Driving to no where....


Still driving to no where (Note the sky is bright blue.. however my camera is good at over exposing Sad )


River in the middle of nowhere...


Water so clean u can drink it.. (Seriously u can)


i just went outside and took a photo


alrite just went and took some photos from on my front lawn.. nice day so far

Sorry the pictures are a bit sucks.. the sun was kinda just above the picture so it washes them out a bit





Check a trip i did here

http://www.nfohump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=781


TBh was one of those magic trips of a life .... doubt i can ever match it..


Anyways as i said.. im pretty pissed.. been at cricket... 3:15am now... so will tell u more tommorow.. and post u pics of cricket game Very Happy

So any questions just ask

looks like a beautiful country

thinking about moving there too
tired from feeling unappreciated and constant rain, amount of walking ninjas in this country increasing every year, normal ppl practically extinct, hard to find decent job
pols occupying most of the work places, even dutch ppl bitching about it

was thinking about Canada but it's kinda way too far and too close to US

Americans in the midwest are jealous of our western european weather when i say it rains alot "omg i love rain !! we barely have any" , im like .. keep it that way.

Its funny when there is sun during the summer everyone suddenly leaves the house and is like woah, so thats how the outside world looks like...

I just wanna go back to germany cause this place is full of stupid frustrated people.

I've visited NZ, it's a beautiful country and the people are generally friendly, and as I have family in NZ I hired a car and toured the country about 12 years ago. Nice place, but if I'm being honest it's a bit too quiet for my taste, although Blighty is no great shakes. I'd live in Oz if I had my way, I'm still thinking of selling up and moving there permanently.
