Welcome to the uk did you pick up your complementary kettle on the way in? Sorry the rail network is such a mess but what can you do. Glad to have you bud o7

You'd better have a tv license or your going to jail

• Call or go to a Kiwibank, ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Westpac bank branch in any mall in which ever city you land at (probably Auckland but could be Christchurch)
• Supermarket for toiletries. Pharmacy for medicine. Some larger supermarkets have pharmacies in them. Supermarkets are Pac'n'Save, New World, Woolworths, Freash Choice, 4Square. Pharmacies are Unichem, Chemist's Warehouse, Random mum and pop one off pharmacy
• Both types of deoderant (stick or spray) are readily available. Lynx is typically known as Axe in other parts of the world.
• The Warehouse or Kmart for cheap socks and undies. Farmers for midrange stuff. Boutique stores for high range
• Public health care for emergancy and accute need. GPs are roughly $35 to $70 for a checkup or general appointment
• get an IRD number from the IRD, work out your tax code (its probably 'M') then tax is mostly automatically deducted and paid by your employeer
• really!? Sounds like a double tax whamy... Ouch
• join clubs, hiking club, cricket club, soccer club, rugby club. Pubs and drinking are popular too. Most pubs run a quiz once a week ask the announcer about joining a random team

The deodorant availability trauma is real and brings untold migrant suffering every year.

1. Move to Australia.

2. Miss.

If you're serious then here you go

Take a look at the skills shortages list as well, because if you can get a job in something on that list, you'll have a much easier time. We desperately need Healthcare workers

You will be welcome here for the most part, but I have started noticing some things that are starting to annoy me, and I know I'm not alone, so fair warning:

Please remember why you're coming here. Nothing annoys me more than Americans who move here and then never shut up about how things were better back home. We have no 2a, our stores are small, and we don't tip. I consider those to be GOOD things. Also, even our right wing party (National) would be considered center left over there. (Sadly that seems to be changing)

If you're just looking for what America was 15 years ago, Australia is what you're looking for. That's not a joke either, I mean that very seriously, Australia is a better fit. It's the USA of the southern hemisphere (sorry Aussies, but tell me I'm wrong)

It's a process, but it can be done! Good luck!

skilled migrant route. got a residence class visa before getting on the plane. My partner and I are STEM and medical so SMV seemed a good route.

"IT" as in operations, networks, security, support, or? I mean a suitable background in networks and you'd make 130k USD plus pension as a networking consultant in Denmark. IDK about citizenship though. As with all the rest of Europe, we've seen a rise in right wing populism and are now suffering from its resulting inane immigration laws.

But if you're in for the adventure, then you could look outside the list of English speaking countries. There's The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, we all speak English and we all have healthcare... But don't go to Sweden, they suck :-)

There are a shit ton of companies in my area that are looking for IT people here in Germany, and I think thats the case all over Europe.

It’s nowhere near as bad here in NZ

Maori only represent 17% of the population however because of our founding document they have a permanent place in government and will always be heavily involved in governance.

Our country elected the national party which is right after two terms of our left wing government. Its expected since our elections always bounce between left and right. The current right wing government is stupid but nothing compared to trump. The controversy comes mostly from their coalition partners bills Act who are led by a complete moron.

Labour is going to win next election because national has fucked up almost every area they campaigned on.
