we're here as well
:-)))
Isn't it strange that after all the stress of not getting a visa, then getting one at the 11th hour, that the immigration officer just stamps your visa with a work permit, in, like, 10 seconds :rofl: Perhaps I'm rather jet lagged but it seemed ironic to me at the time :rofl: It's been a lovely day in Christchurch, Neil is now gently snoring and I am trying to stay awake to get straight as soon as possible - work starts on Tuesday, with several meetings! My employers put food, flowers and wine in the rental apartment they arranged for us. I cannot imagine a UK employer (in my line of work) doing this, it was a such a lovely start to the rest of our lives. Off to buy a mobile phone and test drive some cars tomorrow :thumbsup: Got to get our priorities right :rofl: Jan |

Karl Plus I left the full Yoshi system on after talking to someone here who has straight through slash pipes and his gets through the wof OK: if it fails I have the original system to change it back anyway..... A problem with importing vehicles is that if they are very new or you have owned them for a short time, Customs may charge you up to 12.5% GST. With a 4 yr old bike and proof of purchase in 2005 this will not happen, though I will have to sign an undertaking not to sell it for about 18 months. But I don't want to :rofl: Jan |
