Re: UNOFFICIAL NEW ZEALAND 2+2 POKER THREAD

American who moved to Wellington 3 months ago here, since this thread has mainly been about chicks I will reiterate what others have said. I'm usually a fan of tanned blondes, but it seems like there are almost zero in Wellington, so far I've dated 5 chicks who have all been gingers or very pale brunettes, not really my type tbh, but you gotta make due I guess. So far it's a tossup who has the less attractive chicks, Wellington or my home state of Nebraska. There aren't as many super hot chicks in Wellington, but there seems to be a decent supply of 6s and 7s with the (very) occasional 8+. The positives are that they are very liberal regarding sex and they are all willing to pay for their own crap.

As §437 Nr. 3 alludes to, the lack of cool house music establishments in Wellington really sucks too.

Re: UNOFFICIAL NEW ZEALAND 2+2 POKER THREAD

Any idea what the best bet for finding work if you're in NZ on a working holiday visa is?

Everyone says there's lots of work in Christchurch but I've never spoken to anyone that has actually worked there. I don't a have trade but I did some labouring work when I was in Oz a couple of years ago and would be happy to go down that route again.

I've had a bad experience with farm work (bugger all pay for hard work & dealing with ******* employers) so I'd rather not go down that route unless someone can recommend a good place to go.

seasonal work in orchards
bar work
cafe/restaurant work

there's lots of work in Christchurch because the city is still rubble.

if you are 30 or under at the time you apply it wont be a problem. you have 1 year from the date the visa is granted to arrive in nz so if you plan on going in january you may as well apply now.
