So Genesis, if anyone had mentioned the p problems, boy racers etc etc, would you be accepting of that? You are getting upset about them saying it is boring, so I cannot imagine you want to hear about the more serious problems NZ faces.
If some find NZ boring, that is THEIR opinion. I am not sure that telling them that it is actually them that are boring is very nice.
But then, if boring is all they are being called they are lucky.... I got called MUCH worse by the 'gang'

While on the subject, we knew one British family with FIVE kids, came here about 3 yrs ago now, sold up in Uk (south), arrived in AKL, drove to their rental (a new 5 bed property, quite nice).
Within 1 HOUR, Yes this is true btw, took the keys back to property office, got their deposit back, drove back to AKl airport and booked a flight back to Uk next day!!!![LOL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/lol.gif)
Now that must be the shortest stay in NZ for any migrant!![LOL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/lol.gif)
I was speechless when I heard what they did!

I have broad shoulders and care not what folk think they know about me, coz in truth they know **** all about me.
All I can say is I post as I find about NZ.
If it upsets folk, it aint meant to upset. I just wished I had listened more though from migrants in the past about NZ and its negatives.

How can an entire country be boring, when its the size and diversity of NZ? You want to get out a bit from your retirement village before you leave!!!!

hello dreamfish - where have you been? How's everything going (sorry to chat and hijack the thread!!!)
The 1 hour family must be a record! What a waste of time, money and emotion

Their dad wanted to live in Oz but couldn't get PR for some reason (his skill wasn't recognised) so they decided to move to Nz , well you know the rest, then move to Oz after 3 yrs, (he had worked in OZ before) but once he saw NZ he just shook his head and said "no flaming way are we staying here for 3 yrs'
I thought he was joking but his trip back to AKl airport to book next available flight back to Uk told me he wasn't!

Funny, I post on another country here and we have such a laugh, really funny people with no chips on their shoulders. UNLIKE some people on this site. They allow opinion and have respect for each other. No one is hounded off or called names like being in a play ground.
Happy posting now!!
