Re: G'day all !
Hi.
In Auckland so miles away but hello and welcome. So how is Nelson comparing to Burton On trent? :) |
Re: G'day all !
thanks for the replies :)
How does Nelson compare to Burton ? :rolleyes: lol - well , you know I'm almost lost for words. Nelson is great to be perfectly honest. Sunny ( usually ), friendly people, no stress, no road rage, no muggings, no chavs, plenty of fantastic views, mountains, the sea, glorious beaches, schools which let kids play sport and dont wrap them in cotton wool, relaxed atitudes, loads of greenery and places to go, cheap takeaways ( £9 equivalent for 3 large dominos pizzas and a large coke !!), oh and theres some decent pubs too :beer: Burton is, well, a dive. LOL - anyway, its great to be here. A little stressed ( as much as I can be anyway here ) as I'm trying to get a business off the ground, but otherwise loving it. Do I miss the UK ? nope. Only my family and friends. How are you guys all enjoying it so far then ? Any reservations or things that you can warn me about ? Cheers Mark |

lol - yes I guess so. Does $27 seem a lot to you then ? We also went to a sit down restaurant for pizza etc and this set us back $91. Now thats a lot of money ! Wont be going back there again.. |

Lets face it, thats why half the sub-continent, china and eastern europe wants to go to the uk - to earn money. We came here for the lifestyle - hence choosing Nelson, what a great place. |
