Members Reverend179 Posted December 5, 2005 Members Posted December 5, 2005 About moving to New Zealand. Thoughts?
Members Monkabutt Posted December 5, 2005 Members Posted December 5, 2005 Frodo? That you Mr. Frodo? Never been there but know some people who have. They say it is a beautiful place with friendly locals. May be visiting next summer.
Members mrcrow Posted December 5, 2005 Members Posted December 5, 2005 be ready for a culture shock and the best scenery in the world..with folks to go with it...it is a bit like the wild west before the settlers came in their 1000's... my neighbour went there to stay..he said you could drive for quite a while and never see another car.. i guess the hawaii route is best for you... ps christmas comes when its hot... but being a CA man you probably dont even know what snow is..
Members BigPigPeaches Posted December 5, 2005 Members Posted December 5, 2005 I actually looked into this last year, and found out that it's a lot harder than you would think. They're quite proud of their country (rightfully so) and they don't want just anybody moving in. You have to fill out an application and be assigned a score that is based on your occupation and how badly they need that occupation there. I didn't get too much more involved with it than that, but let me put it this way: there are people who make a living off of helping you to emigrate to NZ. All that having been said, it looks like a hell of a place to live. Good luck.
Members Super_Donut_Man Posted December 5, 2005 Members Posted December 5, 2005 NZ sounds pretty schweet, GO FOR IT. I have always considered moving to a foreign country, Ireland especially, if I can't make it here in San Diego, wife won't like that though (hates flying).
Members badboybass Posted December 5, 2005 Members Posted December 5, 2005 i think one of forumites is in NZ. bassdemon i think?
Members bassman1956 Posted December 5, 2005 Members Posted December 5, 2005 Cool! Time for an HCBF Convention in NZ! Seriously, I've had that thought for years. And then I find that there's a major designer of amature boatbuilding plans from there (John Welsford). Then I find my brother's had the same thoughts. Hmmmmm... How much gear can I bring with me if I move there?
Members Xanadu-PyRo Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 DO IT. New Zealand kicks ass!!! New Zealand All Blacks, the best dam rugby team in the world. Plus, they've got great scenery.

Members januaryscar Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 Get your sheep shagging shoes on. Seriously, New Zealand is a boring place.

Members gazman Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 dude, dont go for NZ. Sydney is where its at.
Members januaryscar Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 Yes Sydney. I recommend Macquarie Fields.
Members ToeJamFootball Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 im sure they will be much happier in either place, it will certainly be better than Calafornia ToeJam
