26 C in the shade today. Not too bad for coming into winter. The people at work have their little fan heaters on.

The sun is streaming into my house at the moment (9.10am); the windows and doors are all open and I don't know the temp but it's warm! and that's Auckland coming into winter. Yesterday was glorious too.

I'm one of the majority who is staying too

We are staying 43
We are going home 6
We are moving on (Another Country) 12
Undecided 11

The figures (although small) suggest that NZ is on
par with other countries on the attrition rate..

Being pretty much impartial on this.. I do note on
some of the comments I read that it does seem not enough
research is done before the big move... and of course the
thought of a new life overides reality ... Accepting its a
different country and thing ARE different.. seems to be the main
stumbling block..

My biggest surprise is the amount of anomosity
shown toward other immgrant by some on this site
.... being a relatively small country
I would have expected far more camaradery between
Immigrants.. I expect there is on a small scale
but it should be a huge amount and then you gain a powerful
voice..

And your right ..I have never been to NZ and neither
will I ever ...

But I have been an Immigrant to another country
and settled in without problem..


Now I could put my name forward to become a MOD
here.... I am cruel .. but not that cruel ....
