Motorbike Camping for the win!

I was quite happy in NZ - just felt like a change and, with the right inducement......viola! I left!
Otherwise, I would still be there.
I'm still an NZer though! - that will never change!

21. Base all fines on people assets or pay.
22. If a driver doesnt see a bike rider or pedestrian, they wont see there car or license again for a while either. And there ACC levies will go up with the more accidents they are involved in.
23. Have a PD system based on work camps doing things like trapping possums, weed irradictation, track making, trash pick up etc. If you dont turn up, you go to do work in your community or at local schools in a chain gang, if you turn up and dont work, you dont eat or leave.
24. Allow people to turn left on a red light once they have stopped. Works so bloody well in every country that does it. Fucking honest, its awesome.
25. Pay teachers more, you cant expect good performance when they are trying to work out how they are going to pay both there student loan payment and the wof on there 1982 ford laser.
26. Like most first world nations, make ticket quotas illegal.
27. Scrap Kiwisaver, or at least put it in the hands of an industry that has a better history and track record.
28. Get rid of the humans

Deep in the heart...
The true beasuty and attraction of New Zealand is usually only appreciated after you have left and been other places, then you can appreciate that for all its faults, NZ is actually a very cool place.

Every young person in New Zealand should work overseas for at least a year. When they come back, with funds and skills, the country is better off. Plus it allows you to knowledgeably appreciate why NZ is great - if you haven't been overseas, you're relying on media and hearsay that NZ's great. In a lot of respects, it isn't. But on balance, it's the best place in the world.
Live and experience the world. Earn some funds and come back to NZ to settle down and make it even better.
The 2nd-most bad arse KBer.
go over seas for 10 years, save up hard, come back with some money and buy a house.
oh wait the goverment will take 60% of your money when you come back.
the only problem with aussie is the roads dont have corners, its very much like the states.
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

For anyone else considering this kind of offer, be aware that the IRD will tax you on your earnings in Dubai, unless you ensure you have non-resident status. To do this, you will have to sell your house (unless you are deriving no income from it while you're away - i.e., someone is staying in it for free, or it's empty), and sell your car (and bikes). Basically, it's not enough to just go and work 'tax free' - you have to have no real ties to 'home' and/or being paying taxes to the country you're working in.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

OTOH, people who go and work in (for example) the UK, then come back here to get a job seem to do a lot better than those who just try to work their way up the ladder. It's like the employers go, "Ooh... you worked in London, eh? You must be pretty damned good then!"
... and that's what I think.

I guess it depends on in which industry you worked whilst in London. If say you worked in the the insurance market in London's "square mile" then you will no doubt gain experience which you never could here.
If you worked in a bar in London then probably no better off.
Who's up for babysitting.....?
Know we could earn a lot more back home (UK for me, Dave's a Kiwi), know we would have a lot more disposable income back home, know we'd have family support that we don't have here...but....
About to have a baby and need the stability more than the 'getting ahead' that a move would offer. Schooling is supposedly better here, and the crime rate is significantly lower. We also have 4 cats that it would be financially impossible to move to the UK and I couldn't simply dump them in new homes just because of something we wanted to do.
If I could have convinced Dave to move to the UK instead of me moving here, that would have been the much better option - but he couldn't so I did, and now it's too late to go home. He's finally realised the UK would offer us so much more than here, but unfortunately that realisation has come too late.

20 minutes ride to the countryside, and rarely a cop to be seen... fits well with my love of bikes.
