I read the title as "writer in New Zealand" and thought to myself "lucky bastard, come exchange lives with me". Still, not disappointed.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You should check out some other parts of the country instead. Have found Christchurch to be one of my least fav places in south island.

Having kids was always going to be a struggle, but at least I get to struggle in my paradise, in a detached house by the beach.

The rebuild? I'm not a skilled labourer but I wouldn't mind learning, I'm working in a hotel for a summer season, aha oh man is that...1/2

Hospo is a good industry for the south island. You should have your pick of beautiful places to work

Being a New Zealander, this is how I feel about winter at Christmas. Christmas is for the beach and bbqs.
