As title really, with this country getting worse, more expensive and the yob culture, where would you move to in the world?



Not sure if we could get a poll on this one please?:)


edit: oh and why?? :p

I'm actually looking at Australia atm because I'm having a proper miserable time and as some one far more intelligent than I said "Do as you've always done, get as you have always gotten" so going to shake things up a bit I think.

I like that! :)

We are looking at NZ, purely as the wife jokingly sent her nursing CV to an agency over there and they rung back the next day, she had a telephone interview and job a position just north of Auckland, so we are seriously looking at it, NZ operates a points system, and we score high on it, so it is just a matter of filling in forms, saving money for medicals and immigration fee's and I reckon we'll be over there in 6 months.

That is what I hear and I am hoping for, the wife already has a job waiting out there, it will be up to me to find one asap on arrival...

A lot of peeps are confusing a nice holiday abroad with the actual reality of living there, half of Europe want to come & live in the UK because of how they perceive it.
Once the reality hits them with the highest house purchase or rental costs, highest fuel tax, highest council tax etc. the list goes on. Many are returning to Poland.
A friend living in in Spain pays Council tax which is less than £200 a year.

It is reasons like this we want to move, we are still researching NZ, neither of us have been there, but my wife does have a relative living in Wellington whom she talks to quite a bit..

New Zealand just seems a more sensible place, politics wise, the fuel isn't a rip off, there is no stamp duty or capital gains tax, the wages are comparatively lower, but so is the cost of living, then again, my wifes job out there is only £2000 less than here... without her overtime... so it's swings and roundabouts. Technology appears to be more expensive out there, Xbox's are ridiculous, the equivalent of £400 for an elite with no games...:eek:

It's a gamble, but we will try to make it work, if it doesn't we'll get NZ citizenship after a few years and move to Oz.... :cool:

Dude, I don't wanna kick out of the pram here. But I lived there for 2 years, 2004-2006

Yes it has fantastic scenery, I am with you there totally, but so does the UK! Not Europe, I mean just the UK. I am little bit tired of people who list 'the scenery' so high on there list of why they like NZ when the same views can be had across the UK, from your photo examples, you have a man on the beach, OK NZ has nice beaches and 100% so does England, and perhaps a pic of mt ruapehu? There are similar geological features here too!

The top of your list of reasons to go there should be: an awesome amount of cool jap imports on the roads and perhaps Moro bars - I miss both of those a large amount!

The UK does have fantastic scenery, but (even though I haven't been there, I like many others have seen films set there and photographs) the UK doesn't have the diversity that NZ has, of the extremes! They are both beautiful countries, but in different ways.

New Zealand!


And it's happening next Xmas time! Parents, me + brother are moving out. Looking at the Bay of Plenty area, somewhere on the coast.

Can't wait for it, I'm just looking forward to getting out there, working in a decent job using my degree, and picking up a load of hobbies (snowboarding, mountainbiking, climbing, kayaking, surfing, bungee jumping).

I wanna be out there tomorrow.

Excellent, looks a great part of NZ, not too far from where we'll be in Auckland.
