Re: whats shocked you about new zealand
Really? I've found the health system WWWWAAAAAAYYYYY better than the NHS... $28 to see a doctor that very same day!
Their willingness to continue with the children's UK booster cycle even though it's slightly different to the NZ one.
The speed at which my husband got treatment for cancer.
The way my daughter was treated for ear infections and how quickly she got grommitts, although they were a little slower to get for my son.
Can't fault it at all!

Re: whats shocked you about new zealand
If you are a kiwi, you should feel proud of all your cites. Especially the one that pulls in so many tourists.

Re: whats shocked you about new zealand
That anti Auckland/'Pom' chip you're carrying so well on your shoulder must get very heavy sometimes but i just wonder why you carry it?
If you're a Kiwi happy with their lot then why post in the way you do here?
I don't think anyone who's posted as an Auckland resident has said anything bad about where you or others live in NZ but you seem obsessed with, Auckland is this that and the other....all bad so far as you see it?
Intrigued as to why you have the attitude to Auckland, its people,houses and mentality (as you put it), not to mention your seemingly anti 'pom' stance.
Did you try and fail at living in Auckland or maybe even the UK is that where it comes from?
We're all a bit anti something here once in a while but looking back at your posts via a search there's an obvious theme........

Nothing shocks me really about New Zealand other than it is letting in more and more immigrants who come here for the lifestyle then complain and whine about what they miss.
Did you not insult us country bumpkins in another thread? Pretty strong words telling someone they tried and failed to live and Auckland or the UK. Its not failure to live in Auckland or the UK its a desire to have a better life than that. Guess you are still hung up on the ideals that you forgot to leave on the plane.
Drop the snooty we are of a better class act you should have left behind in the UK. New Zealand is a fine place without it.

I'll second that! It's the up-yourself we're better than you attitude that's really getting on a lot of people's rocks! Being in Auckland does not make you better. We don't all aspire to live there. Living in Auckland does not mean you've 'made it in life'. You seem to, consistently, miss the point! Tell you what, stay in Auckland - suits you sir!!

Did I say I was a native New Zealander? Why is it that if some one feels strongly on a topic and has a laugh and a joke you have to be the one who tries the bully boy I think you have a problem attitude post.

The country bumpkin comment was posted with a few suitable smilies after it and in response to a similar remark again light hearted by the person who posted just before it.......

The only people who seem in the slightest but bothered and affected is you who don't live here.....fine get on with life where you live and stop worrying about Auckland.......simple....

I notice you handily block any replies to your message and its suggestions
but my pm would have been a carbon copy of this post.
