LW...the only connection you have to Australia is your entire whanau have moved here...think about that. Unsure...Australian jobs = Australian $. Last time i looked it was on a par with your own, so N.Z $ doesn't even feature into the equation. The only thing kiwi chicks won't do, is take shite (most of us anyway)...y'all must've dished it out for them to react the way that you said they did. ;-) There was no y'all....I was the only American there with my Kiwi boyfriend. The men loved me and women hated me, what can I say? I was warned they don't like American women taken their men....my guy actually warned me about that. It doesn't matter now any ways...he is a kiwi and I am back in the states living our own lives. You were warned???...ppssshtt. I'm a kiwi woman and i don't hate you...heck...i don't even know you. I don't know what you did that upset the kiwi chicks (the very few that you probably know anyway)...but i find it laughable that it was something as ridiculous as simply being with a kiwi bloke...truly i do. The job opportunities are much better in Australia than New Zealand. and more Kiwis are making the move across the ditch because of it....fact. that's weird, i have never known any Aussie or Kiwi women to get upset with women from other countries, we are pretty laid back with everyone, we pretty much laugh at everyone and make fun of everyone, pick on you or put you down, but that's just part of being friendly. I have never had a problem with a Kiwi women but then I have never tried to steal her man, or cross the lines of friendship. That would be realy wrong.

If I was gonna move to Oz for a job....I sure as hell wouldn't go for mining. I would go to work the koala ranches. I can see it now.... Putting on my boots and thongitard....riding a kangaroo to round up maverick koalas.....herding them into a pen for milking...then sitting by the campfire on the open range and soothing the koala herd to sleep with my kazoo playing "Like a Virgin". My biggest fear would be a stampede.

Due to popular demand, I am not moving to NZ or Australia. You ladies can breathe easy again. You talked me successfully out of it. Well done. Erm... What if I travel there and don't work, and don't beg, and am not a burden on the system of the local country, but just live there, literally? How does that work? Also, most women who voice that they can't stand my sense of humour are from down there. Maybe other women equally can't stand it, but they don't voice it. Then again, there are a few who always express how much they like my jokes. It's feast or famine, it's a polarized world, when you look at it through the prism of my sense of humour. Sweetie... you are a sweetheart.
