For scenery like in the pictures you posted, the South Island is good especially in summer.

 

In the South Island the temperature gets up to about 35 C during the day in summer. It sounds hot but it's actually fairly pleasant cause it's not humid at all. During the night though it gets cold enough enough to need a couple blankets.

In winter it occasionally snows and often gets down to around 0 C.

That sounds perfect :p

 

 

Yeah they're fairly common...

Have i ever told you i hate you wind :/ why must you ruin NZ for me :(

Its texas... thats a negative :P

 

and i dont live in tucson  i live in mesa 

 

I dont like heat though (I know ive lived in az for 16 years) I want cold like actual cold weather. 

Fine.

It can hit 100 degrees in the summer, but that happens sparingly. It's mostly 90's with random humidity.

And the winters get pretty cold. It usually snows, where I live at least, once a year/every other year. Usually 40-60's all winter. And the days it does go below freezing, it isn't humid (so no rain/snow).

Basically, our spring and autumn/fall are short. The winters and summers are long. It snowed on Easter once (recently), and can usually stay 80's+ into October.

Texas is bipolar.

Melbourne is so much better. Better quality of life, better roads, better public transport, better living costs. I could continue..

From what I've heard, the living costs are much higher than in, say, the UK. :| The pay is higher as a consequence, but still.

True, I would not recommend PA. Worst governor in the country and the job market here sucks. On to the next state

Well, I live in PA and I'd have to disagree.  Pittsburgh is #3 on best job market city in the country.  However with how corrupt our government is, 911, sandy hook and boston bombing were all government jobs sadly, and now with the recent NSA BS, I am afraid our government IE Obama will become the next Hitler.  Granted our previous presidents have helped contribute to the problem greatly, Obama is going for sole dictatorship!!

I moved from NZ to Japan when I was only around 1 year old. Then when I was about 3 or 4 I moved to Australia and I've lived here ever since. But I visit NZ every year and I'm still a NZ citizen.

Good to know it isn't all of PA. Just don't go looking for a job in NEPA.

 

I love Pittsburgh btw, beautiful city and I'm a huge Steelers fan

Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife. And hide yo' husband, because they're raping everybody out here!

Hahahah, the irony.

Irony? Nah, rape isn't a problem here. But we do get shootings and the rare occasion of child/domestic abuse in the news.

Are there big bugs mostly spiders. (If you post a picture i will report you so dont be a jerk)

As other have said, the weta ut not very common, you have to go looking for them realy.

 

What is the rate of living?

Good but expensive realy.

 

What are the taxes like?

We have  15% GST and taxes can be found by Google.

 

What are the best cities to live in?

Depends, Auckland If u like the city but very expensive housing.

 

What is the crime rate like?

No real shootings as guns are restricted, quite useless police for anything other than major things.

 

What are some good places to visit?

Those pics are mainly fiordland I think. The how country is good, but it is different when u live here.

 

What is the weather like?

Depends on the part of the country.

 

Anymore?

It may not be a problem, but it's more of a problem than it is in Austin.

The irony part was you saying that and living in Tucson imo.

Aussie GST is not on everything though and in the end it is still cheaper there.
