Default Just Arrived ...

Hi! Just arrived from the UK and feeling very lost and confused.

Don't really know what I'm doing, just thought I'd see how this thing works ...!!!!

Hello, and a very warm welcome to the site!!

How long have you been over here, when you say just arrived have you literally? Where are you based?

You'll soon get the hang of it here, they are all insane, I'm very sensible and grown up!!

Kia Ora and welcome to this little site. You'll soon find your way around and make some friends. We've all felt a bit lost at times once we are plonked down here in NZ after all the stress in actually getting here . Me - I am permanently confused.

I'm not in NZ but wanted to welcome you to the site. It's natural to feel lost and confused when you first arrive in a new country but that will soon pass, and we have some wonderful members who live in NZ who I'm sure will "talk you through it " will some tips and advice.

Yep! Arrived on the 30th. Other half has been out here for 5 months already and went back to work the next day. Have 2 children who started school this Monday so I'm wandering around aimlessly feeling lost!!

We're in Torbay and have so far ventured as far as Browns Bay!

Why don't you start a new thread on the main site to meet people from the same area.
