1242624	2011-11-10 23:59:00	Plenty of Europeans do that too as NZ is easier to get into first than Oz And Asians and South Africans.	Digby (677)
1242625	2011-11-11 00:03:00	Yes people have been leaving NZ since the beginning of European settlement. It is a shame, as NZ needs a lot more good people here, to make business more viable and bigger audiences for artists etc, and more people to pay for our roads and army etc. It is very sad when families are split up. And we also lose people who know New Zealands culture and hopefully our laws and customs. Many new immigrants do not, and it takes time for them to become "kiwified"	Digby (677)

If I recall right you didn’t last long over there did you? 5 years. My mistake was ending up in Sydney, Miserable place to live. And the wife found the entire experience to be lonely. Heading back over soon.	Metla (12)

1242628	2011-11-11 00:17:00	Apparently Brisbane/Gold Coast is the place to be? Meh, Houses prices have slumped, unemployment has risen. I know a few people there who are out of work for the first time in 15 years, they generally do fit-outs on new high rise buildings, so clearly construction has slowed. Its not the promised land, There are still jobs but I'm told competition is fierce and people are struggling. Which is no good if you're a kiwi, there is no safety net. Having said that, its where I'm going I loved Brisbane and have got many family and friends there. If I were a single man I'd either go to Perth or to the mines.	Metla (12)
1242629	2011-11-11 00:20:00	When I first went to Brisbane petrol was 52 cents a liter. Rent was $112 a week for a two bedroom townhouse, and you could buy a brand new house on an acreage out Browns Plains way for $120000 If only I had known. Still, wages were overall crap, and working conditions poor in the industry I was working in.	Metla (12)
1242630	2011-11-11 03:13:00	And Asians and South Africans. It would be interesting to see a breakdown of the statistics differentiating between the nos. of homegrown kiwis and those who came to NZ as a stepping stone to Australia.	martynz (5445)

Well a single man on a friday saturday night in surfers and you wonder what the hell you are doing living anywhere else....sure beats the hell out of anything in NZ EDIT: and they say you would get sick of looking at all them sheilas......hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa	Gobe1 (6290)

After you settle into any place and are working 50 to 60 hours a week you don't bother heading into the city centers, you just do the grind, same as you did wherever you came from.	Metla (12)
