Default First years impressions
Cripes, sounds dreadful.

Health care standards are better in NZ as you can get to see your doctor at a time convenient to you. I agree it does cost more but the level of care is higher and the doctors take more of an interest in your wellbeing.

The police are there to make our roads safer. There are more roadworks in NZ, but most roads are safe to drive on at 60mph. Is there a need to go any faster and run over little kiwi's (the kids) ?

If you don't break the law (speeding) then there is nothing to be worried about.
The police also have cameras in vans now (parked on the side of the road) as well as ute's too.

You're right about the government handouts - there are many that can be obtained, and the system is abused.

The level of crime is similar to the UK and more of an issue is made of it due to the population numbers (eg if you only heard the news about 1/3 of London then I'm sure crime stats would be an issue there too)

Hope you're second year is better.
