Hello everyone, we are coming out to Christchurch in mid november, we being two adults and our seven year old son. Our life has been here in France for the past 15 years but we are English, well I'm not sure about our son who speaks more French than English but we'll soon sort that out in NZ. Our application is being processed as we speak and we know that job offers would bring us to the top of the pile, but hey, who would employ teachers without interviews, so we wait....my main concern ( apart from no job, no house and a 24 hour flight!) is how to move money if we have no bank a/c. If anyone has experience of moving euros to NZ before having an address please let me know. Right, it's freezing here, worst summer in 60 years so I am off to walk the dog, and, no he isn't coming so we're making the most of him for now! All and any info would be great, and maybe if I stick at this posting lark I can lighten up my writing style, it's sooooooooooo serious.
