absolute class from a poster who hasn't been to NZ.

A friend of mine has been there and thats the lowdown he gave me, he recommended only flying in and out of Auckland and not to waste anymore time there than that, get straight out into the countryside was his recommendation.

I would be really interested in just how much of greater Auckland your friend referred to.

My guess would be Sky city LOL

You and your much traveled friend should do more research

The 2009 Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranked Auckland 4th place in the world on its list,

I dont believe you have a friend :twisted:

Cities are dirty, smelly, noisy and dangerous places, you are comparing one dirty, smelly, noisy and dangerous place against another.

If you want to live in such a place fine, they are not my cup of tea.

Give me the green green grass any day.

You moan about cities and towns and rural places alike.

Have you consider Space?!

Funny thread.

All depends what you're looking for in a country. Money, peace, food, relaxation, parties..........

I love rural living, but continue to live in Japan because of the people, food, and quality of life. NZ is easily the most beautiful country I have visited, it doesn't necessarily have more then most other countries, it's just that everything is so close, traveling is short and sweet.
