Re: where are you?
We're in Papamoa, or Pommymoa as it is known to some, near Tauranga in the Bay of plenty. It is Beautiful here, we love the whole beach lifestyle, and there is so much to see and do, also its where the work was for us.
Myself and OH don't think this will be our final destination in NZ, but you never know,for the forseable future though, its our home.

We're in Rangiora on the North Canterbury plains and I think I might have already mentioned once or twice on here how much we're loving it here!

Re: where are you?
OH's (who is a Kiwi) visa in the UK was about to expire and I tagged along, for the best
OH is from here so we have plenty of family support, and the job I applied from in the UK was in Auckland anyway. I don't see myself moving from here, however looking at moving out East Auck in the coming years. I definitely love it here, it's so much better than what I was used to in the UK and France

Re: where are you?
We are in Bay of Plenty, started off in Mt Maunganui loved it but couldn't find a rental that would accept our dog so decided in the end to buy a house. To get the views, a beach, golf, peace and quiet ...we are in Omokoroa. Only down side is that we have to use state highway 2 to get to Tauranga and we've seen some crazy driving!

Re: where are you?
Though not suprising, auck, welly, chc and tauranga is where the jobs are. what i would find interesting is a senario poll. if your house was paid for and you have an income of $60000, where would you WANT to live?!!

France? That sounds interesting, what'dya get up to over there? I always thought France would be a cool place to live....what with those long wine filled lunches they like (or is that a simple stereotype?)

Re: where are you?
The lunches is not a myth, although not everyone has wine 
I just moved to London from Paris cos I couldn't find suitable work and wanted to just live something different really.
