Which City?
Our original plan on arriving in NZ, was to chill, do interviews and depending on where I got a job would be where we settled.
An alternative plan is still to arrive in auckland, but have a pre-decided destination such that our container can be dispatched etc so it could arrive only 2 or 3 weeks after our arrival. Not entirely convinced on this one, but we are struggling with too many "unknowns".
Sooo .... here are our options as I see it:
Auckland: Busy, expensive houses, lots of job opportunities.
Hamilton: Perfect, except few jobs :-(
Wellington: Lots of jobs, windy, possible long commutes, housing expensive and with little land?
Christchurch: Loads of jobs, gangs? Crime? cheaper housing, smog.
Anything else I should know or consider?
