Who likes this 'dump'..NZ that is?
 

By popular demand here's a thread to find out who likes NZ.

Another one of our BE members (still perchance in a developmental stage of knowing if NZ is right for them!!!) described it as a 'dump' and he is keen to see how many will put their hands up and say......



I DO!!! I love NZ...totally and utterly for everything it has bought to my life. Warts and all...cos we all know it ain't perfect!!!!!


As a very 'happy clapper' I am always keen to help even some of the less positive members of our happy little forum.

Any more takers?

Thus far NZ is one nil to the happy crew.

Me....

It has its bad bits but I think the good outweighs the bad for us anyways..:)

Re: Who likes this 'dump'..NZ that is?
 

Popular demand? where?

Yes, it's a dump in that it's a dumping ground for many things and people, it also seems to do stange things to people's personalities. We didn't like it there so we left.

Dump??

You mean the rubbish dump called 'Mnt Cleese' in Palmerston North, so called because the locals threw a hissy fit when John Cleese called their town "The best place to commit suicide"????

That dump???

I love it here, despite the negatives.
Life is what you make it.

So far. Out of six posts 4 like it..one thought NZ was crap and Avid stayed on the fence.


Sorry Pascalr the poll so far shows NZ to be a firm winner for happy emigrees..time will tell if that holds fast.


Cheer up buddy..one day you will get up and go to pastures new.

I didn't say that New Zealand was crap, please do not put words into my mouth I said it was a dumping ground for many things and people.

I love it. Lived here for 9 years and 2.5 years with 22 yrs in UK and lots of traveling (courtesy of HM MOD) in between. Can't think of anywhere else I'd rather live

Re: Who likes this 'dump'..NZ that is?
 

I love it too! Sure, it has it's faults but nothing that really bothers us too much. Just had my interview for Uni to do Diploma of Teaching and am really looking forward to doing it.

Lapsed Kiwi - I'm in Orewa too :) Been here for 8 months and can't see us moving - love it, love it, love it :lol:

Edited to say - been in Orewa for 8 months, NZ for 11 months

Re: Who likes this 'dump'..NZ that is?
 

Totally agree.
Despite a few issues I believe that NZ is the place for us.
We love it.

We're here to stay too! (:D Clap! :D Clap! :D Clap!)

Going back for the first time in two years for daughters graduation in July....just two weeks to say "Hi" to famil then it's back on the plane as fast as possible

Re: Who likes this 'dump'..NZ that is?
 

Love it, love it, love it.
We are happy clappers!!!
We have had our problems here, but we never thought life would be trouble free - and our problems (in general) would have happened wherever we were - they are not NZ related.
Even the days we were down to $10 to last 2 days, we wouldn't have changed a thing!
Although I must say life has got easier since we were both promoted....

Genesis, I will be in touch with the mrs - I don't know where time has gone but thanks for the contact details.

Re: Who likes this 'dump'..NZ that is?
 

Congratulations on the promos!!!!!!!! Well done the F's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Who likes this 'dump'..NZ that is?
 

Nearly 3 years in and still love it!

Can I join the happy clappy gang? I don't think being here that long has affected my personality much. Wibble.
