I once heard that New Zealand is a second world country. Coming from America, is that true and what does that mean? Why does it fall under that classification?

I'm a college student from the U.S. majoring in Business. For the longest time I have had a facination with New Zealand and am more passionate about moving there than anything else I've ever experienced in my life. I've read and studied and all I hear are positive things about it. The one draw back I hear is business and jobs are not as readily available as other places. Can anyone tell me anything else that could be a con about New Zealand? I know the good, just want to know the whole story. Anyone tell me something that has moved there from America so I can compare something? Thanks!

Has anyone out there had trouble(or been refused) getting an Australian working visa because they had a criminal record? (spent or unspent).
Would like to hear from those especially who have managed to get around this?
Thanx

Looking for first hand information on this:

It has just been suggested by a friend that we get away for a couple of months this year and go fruit picking / backpacking.

I know you can do this all year round in OZ and NZ, and that Canada has a long fruit picking season (ending around August); also France, Spain and Italy do this too.

But has anybody actually done this; does it pay; whats the work like?

The way i hear it is you get free accommodation, food, use of the facilities and either a daily rate or paid by the Kg. In return you work shifts in the fields / orchards picking fruit.

If you want to move on you can have the owner call ahead to other locations, and pre arrange work.

Some of the online guides are saying earning rates of £30-£60 per day; can this be right.

Looking for anybody thats actually dont this - Not second hand info.

Don't know if we want to spend all that money to fly to Alice Springs if the rock is really just a tourist trap.

I'm a young man Brazilian univertity student, 24. I decided to quit my major and my job to have an internation work experience - to improve my English and save some money.

I know that in you countries there are dozens of farm, recreation, hospitality jobs. So I'd lke to get one.

In fact, what I want is not "making money" with a job like that. I want, in fact, to pay my expenses here in Brazil, which aren't cheap at all.

I'm studying and working here. But I think it'd be worthy spending a time in places like where you live.

I'm also a musician. So I very well could play in some pubs/bars there... to gain some tips.

What is the first thing I should do???

Tnx in antecipation!

How are the people? What is there to see? I might be going to Sydney, Adelaide, and Cairns this summer to study abroad, so I am curious to find out more about the places from people who have actually been or live there.

(4) What were your highlights / memorable moment?
(5) What did you think of the locals?
(6) Anything negative?

Thanks!!!

I can see why Americans are -
America is a superpower.
America is the richest nation.
America is the strongest nation.
America is the most technological nation, after Japan.
America is the beacon of freedom.
Most international companies are American - Walmart, Kmart, Microsoft, just to name a few.
America has invented the plane, car, TV, radio, computer, internet, almost everything we use in our everyday lives.
But why are Australians proud of their nation? Sure, they may have the great coral reef and a big rock, but what's so great about them? What have they contributed to the world besides Steve Irwin (May he rest in peace)? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to offend anyone here but I'm just curious. That's all.
PS I DON'T WANT AMERICANS ANSWERING THIS QUESTION. I WANT TO HEAR AUSTRALIA'S POINT OF VIEW
