I heard the rent is cheap!

thats odd... i was discussing my job situation with a friend the other night and we were talking about taking off for new zealand...
not sure what the working visa situation is like there though...
- blastofv0
dirt cheap... NZ dollar has about half the value of the US dollar, but everything's priced like it would be in a cheap us city
you can buy a nice house in wellington for like 50,000 us

don't know about the visa situation... shouldn't be too complicated
- neeko0
as the economy gets worse, it gets harder to get a visa. pretty tough to get a US work visa right now.

neeko, Nate Smith told me that all you need is $50, a degree, and a job offer. You can get a 1 year working visa to the USA.

nate would know, although i was under the impression that any US company hiring someone from out of country since 9/11 has had to jump through hoops to prove they ran an extensive search in the US first.

not sure if it's hard, but it's worth a try.
But if you've been arrested for anything or have a criminal record, then your chances of going are very slim!

hehe, I think it cost $50 to legally change your name.

i, too, will move to new zealand some day. seems like such a nice place and it'll be much easier to watch cricket on tv :)

I was going to surgest my homeland, Denmark, but then again NO. Although we do have some of the most beautifull women in the world and a safe community, we also have a rightwing-suckup-to-Bush-governm... alot of racial problems(on the danes side) and we are involved with one whole submarine in the Golf(what is that going to do on the plains of Iraq?). AND I guess you guys wanna get as far away from the US as possible, so....
