I wouldnt know about what the rest of the family thinks. We dont really keep in contact. Kinda sad. For example...out of the 70+ people at our wedding only 3 of them were MY family members.

Its all good Kath. Umm...I was on here every so often when I was in NZ before...I dont see that changing if I move there. They DO have internet, ya know! hahaha

They don't get a lot of shows...no. U2 came to play 2 nights in Auckland in 2006 when I was there and I think practically the whole country went to see them play. It was a big deal. People taking time off work, etc.

That's cool that your going. It wouldn't be a slower way of life if it was a part that all the big acts came to anyway. You can check out all the local acts too.

It should be cheaper there than in the US. I don't know why someone from new york would find it more expensive. Unless there was something to do with the market crash that caused a lot of New Zealanders to leave but that wouldn't be relevant now.

Well NZ IS more expensive. If you are earning foreign currency and coverting it to NZ $, then you are ok. For example...here in town I can get two Jack and Cokes at a bar for $6. In NZ you'd pay $7-$8 for one. McDonalds value meals in NZ are nearly 1/3 more than what they are here. DVDs and CDs are about double what they cost in the US. Housing isn't cheap...especially in a city like Wellington.

Oh gawd blimey, don't tell me it's too expensive!! (hmmm...things must have changed since I was last there!!!) Can't be as bad as the UK surely? No, it's fatal to convert it back to a currency that you know before (if you know what I mean). Hopefully the cost of things you buy are relevant to the wages you get.Your'e still a student though aren't you Brandon?

haha...well i think it's fairly expensive. Unless you're making at least $18 an hr you probably wont be doing that well.

Me a student? No way...those days are long since over for me. Although I am always learning something. It may not prove useful, but it's something! hahaha
