    @Captain_A im currently in NZ, i have been to OZ last year Melbourne and sydney.. Well im planning to move there soon, as part of the future plans.


    NZ is more laid back compared sa OZ... as in super laid back. The only City that has more vibrant is siguro Auckland. Wellington is more of a cool city. Christchurch is the land of the real foreign land because it has a different view compared to the two...

    Have you been to NZ? or an expat of NZ?

    Going there in November bro... We will be renting a car for a week then drive drive lang... As it stands we shall be doing two days in Wanaka to just relax and roam around.

    Milford is probably hyped up (and prolly not as picturesque when you frame it in the camera) but it is still worth the 600km drive.
