Thank God its not the Koro Loop.

Why would you want to be in whakatane? It is a shit hole.

Good for you. Each to their own.
Was born in the area, my family are from there and Im down there at least once a month.

I guess it also depends on what you want in a place to live. If you want a town with plenty of work, lots to do in spare time and a decent tertiary education then it is bad.

Yep. Sounds like you know what you need to do.

I didnt muck around and left the area 20 something years ago for the exact reasons you've mentioned.

Done my time looking for the fire in the big smoke.
Would gladly go back.

[saul]

LOL...you may get to meet some of your locals shortly

Yep that made good reading lol

[McDuck]

We can't blame Mr McDuck...he has no idea as to how close he came to becoming a McSnack for a certain McTruck which would create large McNuggets

WTF??????/?????

[DMNTD:Me]

WTF??????/?????

LOL...one day you'll meet Tonka,a local to you and then all shall make sense.

[McDuck]

He is going to have to hurry up, i am not goign to be local for long.

When you go, we'll happily take your place. I love Whakatane, would move there in a heartbeat. Awesome roads on your doorstep, awesome weather, countryside, seaside, people, not too big a town but not too small either, would be my pick to retire too.
Ralph this would be a good direction to head for our ride

I did not know you were that old

[Unit:Me]

Ah you are still wet behind the ears Mr McDuck. Now that I realise your tender age is 19, it's understandable you want to move to bigger more exciting places. At 42 yrs I am definitely contemplating somewhere to finally settle. Dont get me wrong, there's still plenty of life (and motorcycling) in this old girl yet But Im done with the late nights on the town (although when we party we dont go to bed until sunrise the next day, ask Mom, she can confirm that ), and I can still do a 50 hr working week, then ride 400ks on a Friday night till midnight to go see my boy up in Whangarei. Whakatane is perfect for some, and you may come to respect it in later years for what it is.
Meantime, enjoy your youth, you only have it once (although we still behave well below our ages at times).
