Wow. I was just about to write to the list about moving to NZ when Chris = did it, it seems that NZ is quite popular among piclisters :) Me and my = fianc=E9 are landing in Auckland on sept 25 and have planned to go = backpacking through both islands. I have always been fascinated by NZ:s = nature and from what I've heard, how friendly the people are. We will also be looking for jobs but mostly low-wage jobs as we will be = moving around quite a bit. What I would like to know is, what things one = must do when visiting NZ and which places to visit, what to bring and = what is a no no and so on. From what I've heard the climate is quite the = same as in northern Europe, maybe not as cold as Finland. If only the = money last, we will be staying for about a year but who knows maybe we = will move permanently ;) Best regards Johan Baarman Alan B.
