NZ is a soulless country, that's about it - What the hell Kiwis know about Classical Music??
yes. I need to go to classical music concerts, and want to meet & talk with famous musicians
the beautiful scenery here is absolutely nothing for me

My mate says the cost of living has gone through the roof since they moved out in 2005 and they're struggling to make ends meet. Plus they miss friends and family.

I think that's the number one reason.
That's hardly giving it a go...

Re: Hi many are moving on?
I'm here on a two year work to residency, so will make me mind up later.
Some issues I'm pondering
My work wants to invest in my future and send me to uni for post grad qualifications, they will then promote me. They will only send me to uni if I have residency and have asked me to change from my work visa at my expense.
The internet is lousy here.
I hate being so many flights away from my daughter. I deally would like to be one flight away.
The internet is lousy here.
There is so much to see/live/experience in the world, so little life.
The internet is lousy here.
I really can see myself living on a longer basis here in NZ, I can't put my finger on why cos there is soooo much wrong here, but it makes me feel good generally.
The internet is lousy here.
Money isn't a big issue for me, I'm not well paid but I get by comfortably (no family), but I had a suprising conversation with a colleague today. She has been here 18mths (me 5) and we agreed whilst we both found groceries and some other things expensive here, we are both managing to save money each month. We both were so skint in the UK, sliding slowly into debt every month. I haven't figured out why yet.
Oh yeah and the internet isn;t so great here. I used to download a lot of TV in the UK and then have my own TV on demand. I have improved the speed enough to see my little girl on video skype now which is great (cos I can stay) but download is impossible.
