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

I may be moving to Auckland from Otago soon. I appreciate the dry, sunny winters in Otago, although the cold really gets to me, and the crazy weather during spring and summer are not my cup of tea.
What's the climate like in Auckland, in the long run?
Do the rainy winters get to you?

i'm thinking of going on a trip next summer. it's about three weeks long and travels to new zealand and australia. i've already been to australia, so i know that part of the trip will be worth it. i just want to know what are some good must see attractions in new zealand so i know if i'll be getting my money's worth on this trip. i'm only 15, so i'd like to know of stuff someone my age or a little older would be interested in. i'd appreciate any help and suggestions :)

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

What is it live? I have only drvien through it once. I hear its beutiful, but i also hear it is very un safe. How does it compare to Sydney in terms of crime and traffic?

I am considering leaving nelson for work there, but I don't want to move to there if it is like sydney. I left the westurn suburbs of sydney for nelson and have not looked back.

What are the rich and the not so good suburbs of christchurch.

I'm from Dunedin and contemplating a move to Auckland. I do like the European flair, the safety, and the cool climate here in Dunedin, but I suppose Auckland with its warm climate and metropolitan character would also have its charms.
Anyone here from Auckland care to elaborate a little?
Cheers.

I am going on the trip of a lifetime to New Zealand in eleven weeks time.
I will be there for a minimum of three months.

However I would like to do some work experience/voluntary whilst I am over there.

However I wonder if my age might go against me? I am 39 now but will be 40 in January. And will be spending my 40th birthday in N Z. That's one of the main reasons for going.

I want to take my time whilst over there hence the reason why I want to do voluntary.

Would like some serious advice on the above.

Any help appreciated?
