How would I pitch NZ to friends and family? Quite simply, I wouldn't! I'd tell them not to waste their hard earned money and go to Australia instead.

Less chance of having your rental car/ camper burgled, your girlfiend raped, wouldn't have to cringe when tourists say how clean and green NZ isn't! Nor how crap the weather is, nor how boganish the local rugby hobbits' are. Sorry if this offends the homespun hokey nationalists out there but for what people spend to get here in first place, there are much better options out there. Although born and bred Kiwi, this country is one big PoNZi scheme. "Get 'em in, scam them and discard them" = modus operandi

:eek::D
 
Lol. Al is maybe not as it appears to be in the grean grean southern hemp. island :)
 
If that's exciting my life has been boring as hell.. cpt rocks.
 
Auckland voted 5th best city in the world to live. Even beats Sydney. Yip very oring here indead!!!
 
Australia? Basically that place is just a large desert inhabited by creatures that can kill you just by looking at you.

No thanks - I prefer the boredom of beautiful countryside even if it is a little damp. And they do have the world's second best rugby team :p
 
That's why thousands of kiwis flee to Australia each year. As far as I know, pacific islanders are replacing europeans at an outstanding pace !
 
Yup.

Tis wonderful to actually be able to make use of public parks without the excitement of Rape, mugging and murder.

I make use of my public park atleast once a week. I regularly see woman with small kids and students walking their dogs. Never seen a rape, mugging nor murder :confused:

Lets not forget the thousands of Saffers fleeing SA to NZ (and OZ, and Canada), As far as I know Zimbabwians are replacing europeans at an outstanding pace.

Interesting enough (According to official stats up to 2007 on net migration) the single largest group by nationality to come into NZ are people from the UK (they're european sort of), followed by the Chinese, and then South Africans.

Got to have something to complain about.

Frankly I'm going to give up on watching rugger, going to watch netball instead :D
 
Humming the theme tune to mash?

Seriously, the only reason to go to Pretoria is the Zoo, nothing else.

Mmmm must be your grand way of making friends letting you down. Pretoria = friendly and lots of parties if you know some people who don't like staying indoors the whole weekend ;)

You are wrong :

And don't forget 20 000 brits settle in South Africa each year

I agree

Flee? Yea right dude. Another comments from a no brainer... I work with plenty of Aussies, Brits and South Africans. :rolleyes:

Some kiwis move overseas, and to Aus. But the difference is they return!! Unlike SA where Zimbos and Nigerians are replacing South Africans (who never return) at an alarming pace!!! Try doing some research before commenting on something you clearly know nothing about :erm:
