No, still here Skip. Just been following your advice, looking at the countless vacancies in NZ. Can't really decide which part of the country to head for.

Well I have lived and worked in NZ before and its quite easy to decide.

If you like the wet / rain / windy areas then the Sth Island

If you like a little rain but a lot more sunshine then the Nth Island

If you like it quite and much like the UK |(Scotland Type Landscape) then you will love the Sth Island.

Been in Scotland for 12yrs, had enough wind & rain to last a lifetime. So, it looks like the North island, probably Auckland. Do you know much about it? Any areas to avoid? Also, looks like you need a Dangerous Goods endorsement for most jobs. I got my ADR here, do you know whats involved in getting one out there?
