Hello all!
I've been wanting to emigrate to NZ for some time now but never seem to be able to get the information I need to make a definite decision. I hope someone can help me with these:

1. When going over to NZ in the hope of finding an offer of employment, what kind of place would I be most likely to find affordable accomodation?
2. What are the most effective ways of finding employment (newpapers, recruitment agencies, etc.)?
3. Any suggestions on what to do about cell phones, to be able to still communicate effectively back home (South Africa)?
4. What is the cost of a 6 month work visa and where is/are the permit offices, or how do you go about applying for a work permit?
5. What documents would I need with me to apply for a work permit/visa?
6. What does an average day cost (basics, i.e. food, cheapest kind of accomodation, etc)?

Hope to hear from someone soon.
