I've never met a Kiwi I didn't like. They're a product of a slower, less complicated world and still have time for people and they love a yarn.
So long as you would be happy to slip back a gear or two and go with the flow you should be happy.

Just a few of the reasons that prompted my interest originally.

We haven't met have we JL

Like all nations, believe me, we have our share of asswipes, but in the main I like to think we are OK

Peterpan, what were your good, and or bad experiences of the south island?

[peterpan]

No bad experiences, except that it can be a bit chilly in the winter,the set off was that there is great Skiing, there isn't the same opportunity for sailing which was my first love.
I remembrance it as a great place for kids to grow up, particularly if one is keen on outdoor pursuits, Fishing, shooting tramping, all easily available.
Although going back to Christchurch now it seems a Little boring, but at the time of growing up it wasn't a factor, as there seemed to be plenty to do.
In retrospect, if I was now given the choice of where to spend my childhood, it would be there.

Apart from the fact that I would have to divorce her (could never handle the fact that I was married to a kiwi) can anyone see anything else wrong with this?

But she's married to an Aussie! Poor thing.
