Sick of this myth peddled on the back of lord of the rings and our tourism industry that this place is a paradise, it ain't.

Most people live in small, crappy cities here with zero culture.

Whites and Maoris hate each other.

Whites are second class citizens now, they are changing the language to Maori and apologise 500 times a day for colonisation and that we should bow and worship to all Maori as they are so much better than us.

Infrastructure sucks ass.

There isn't much to do, our biggest tourist attraction is hobbiton which takes 15 minutes to walk through and is a cash grab.

Big bands and events don't come here because it's the ass end of the world.

We don't get the best international stores etc here, we get local knock offs.

The cost of living is INSANE, we export all our best produce.

There is some nice scenery, there's also a lot of empty fields, bush, and bland landscapes. I've been to Canada, Asia and Europe and seen landscapes that equal or beat anything we have here.

Out best landscapes are in the south island in the middle of butt **** nowhere that takes 8 hours to get to. If there's any food avaliable or transport to get there it will cost an ASTRONOMICAL sum.

Finally, this is the most hard leftist, npc filled population in existence. Kiwis do not think for themselves, they belive everything the government sponsored leftist media feeds them hook line and sinker. They were cheering police on for beating up mando jab protestors.

Plain and simple, this country ain't all it's cracked up to be, no way, no how.

Interesting post srs

I always associated New Zealand with LOTR and thought it looked like a really cool place

What are the girls like? I’m assuming not great since you mentioned it’s a left wing npc population

Really accurate, I was gone 6 years and was shocked how **** and expensive everything was. South Island was definitely beautiful and there are heaps of beautiful places in the north island too but the culture and all the poverty drugs and desperation, not the one

I guess the grass is always greener applies here. Not a knock at you either. I live in NYC and have **** on it and fantasized about NZ many times.

I want to golf at cape kidnapper

Theres a decent population of sloots tbf, not talking wifey material here though.

And it's too cold

Bringing me to another point.

Sickening humidity in summer, biting cold in winter.

Houses here are built on the cheap, poorly insulated and rely on one heat pump/AC to try and cope with the extremes

It's a joke.

Thx for update.

Houses getting cheap huh?

Just make your way across to Aussie land OP, half of NZ already moved here anyway.

Islanders fighting just like the space programs in America. Ghettos everywhere, that’s why they all come and ruin Australia

Why don't you move to Australia? surely you have an uncle who works in construction on the Gold Coast or Melbourne that can get you a job...
