Other - New Zealand

Am considering if I should travel by bus to minimise the travel costs. How will go by bus cost ? If to fly, what web can I book for discounted airnewzealand domestic flights ? Where can I look up the price for these tickets ? Can I ask my travel agent to go through the booking for me from Hong Kong ?

I think we're very lucky to live in such a country that is safe and have democracy but are our Ministers are at time very childish!

Mr Mallard and Mr Henare are a good example of this, their punch up yesterday was very childish. I'm 17 and I feel that I'm beyond this catty high school behavior. These are two fully grown men. So much for the anti-smacking law... If our Ministers can't even control their anger, what hope is their for the rest of the country to follow?

What do you all think? Are you disgusted by this?

(Sorry Kiwi, I thought it was about time for a serious question haha)

I've been studying New Zealand for a little over 2 years and have fallen in love with it. I plan to move there in two years and hope to visit in May for my first time. I want to scout out where I'd like to move, etc. I'm looking for some advice on how to see the most for the least. I'm leaning towards living in Arrowtown so I could be close to queenstown to work without losing the scenery. I have a million questions outside of this one so if any citizen would be willing to help me, I'd really appreciate it. My main question now is, how would you see your country if you were me? Should I travel the country by train or rental car? I'm trying to keep my whole trip to around $2500 USD for 10 days... Thanks for the help.

We are there on holiday and don't mind doing something different, so Indian/foreign food isn't out of the question, we are staying at the Holiday inn so the closer to there the better but all options considered! cheers

It was recently my Grandparent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. My Grandfather use to be the Guardian of Lake Manapouri so my Grandparents are pretty friendly with Real Journeys and Merdian Energy.

We were all lucky enough to have a private tour of the Te Anau Glow Worm Cave and a boat trip out on Milford Sound.

It was really amazing and we saw Fiordland Crested Penguins and Seals but no dolphins! I was so gutted!

Is it normal to not see them? Has anyone else done these trips and enjoyed them?

My very spoiled, rude, fake and ugly cousin is ripping off you and me, and it's not fair!

She claims to have hurt her back, she says she was lifting a milk carton at work and injured her back. But really she lent against a wall and pulled a muscle.

So now, she can't work and ACC is paying 80% of what she was earning!! She likes to tell everyone that she's "taking a holiday on ACC!".

I find this so disgusting. I injured my back when I was 11 in a car crash. I wasn't working then, so I can't possibly go on paid leave. I come home from work physically tired, my back aches and I'm in tears because it's so painful. I just want to try and be normal and have a part time job like my friends.

I just don't think it's fair, I'm doing hard work that's hurting me, and my taxes are going to some spoiled brat who simply can't be bothered working!

Is there anywhere I can report this?

I don't care that she is my family, it's not right or fair!

whenever i tell people i'm from new zealand, i get:
"Do you have electricity there?"
"Oh...so you're Amish??"
"Are there sheep running around everywhere?"
"Do you use telephones?"
"Do you have internet connection?"

What do people say when you tell them you're from new zealand? (or any other odd country)

Choice 1 - The fastest way at 1 month is the student visa but is the most expensive at $15,900 tuition only
Choice 2 - The slowest way is the Immigration Application at 6 months just to get approved for EOI. Then you have to pass the IELTS plus you have to go to Bangkok for Interview but you get PR Immediately and you DONT need to apply to the POEA. Waiting time for approval can be from 6 months to 3 years.
Choice 3 - The compromise is the Work Visa (to residence) which is faster than the immigration process but you have to pass the EOI 1st. You need to be fully employed in NZ with your specialization for 3 months before you can apply for PR. You have to apply in the POEA though as an overseas worker. Waiting time can be from 6 months to 2 years.

and i'm planning my first trip there doing volunteer farm work like wwoof or helpx.net... this is where you go to different hosts homes and help them out in exchange for accomodation/meals

it looks like i'll be in new zealand in late november staying till febuary, and i'll be going it alone, so i'm gonna have to do a lot of research. for now, i was wondering if you can give me some tips on getting around over there. i'm planning on visiting at least a hand full of different hosts, but it would be kinda hard if i couldn't get my way out of the auckland airport!

so i've been considering buying a cheap car while i'm there... and then selling it before i leave. could this be feasable? are there any resources you might know of? i guess i have to do something like that, as i wouldn't want to burden any of my hosts by having them pick me up from bus stations and such.

any websites, articles, or resources of any kind would be greatly appreciated .

I am going to New Zealand late November. And cannot wait!

What I want to do is cycle it from top of North Island down to bottom of North Island.
And the same again on the South Island.

Could someone tell me what the distances are approximately for the two islands?

Thanks
