I got here with les sthan a $1000 in my pocket....just sayin' I think we'll have to see how this election goes. We were really seriously discussing it after the last presidential election, because we felt that there was just nothing left in the way this country is being governed that actually represents what we believe in, but we were waiting for me to finish my midwifery studies because then we would both qualify for the "skilled immigrant" status or whatever it is called that allows you to expedite getting your VISA (or whatever the NZ equivalent is) because you work in a field where they need more people. We were even corresponding with other New Zealand ex-pats about their experiences and getting advice. Then the baby happened and Mr. Ambrya started working on his Master's degree, and the plan just got put on hold.
New Zealand just really seems like the perfect country for us. Democratic, largely embracing ideals similar to those codified in the US Constitution, governed by people who actually give a rat's *** about those ideals, but just a smidge more socialist with regards to its approach to health care and social security. And I think the Maori are the coolest indigenous peoples anywhere ever.
PM me and tell me more about how you got established with that little money.
