Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |

New Zealand is a four hour flight away. I was told it is cheaper to eat like the natives, rice and dried fish, rice and salted fish, sometimes rice and fresh fish, and rice and local pork which could contain parasites, than to buy foods from Australia, new Zealand, and the U.S. also I have been told I'll have to take anti malaria pills while there. my salary for each year will almost be twice what I made in the U.S., Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70288909 Car not needed, everyone gets around on mopeds. I'm having second and third thoughts about my new dream job. I'll be getting away from this Shit hole country, the Welfare Sponge Socialist Dark Peoples Republic of obama. and ill be making more money, ill be in the southern hemisphere so radiation will take longer to reach me after obamaville is nuked. oh yea, GUNS, only 22.s and shotguns are legal there. ok GLP, what jewels of wisdom do you have for me ? you have any good recipes for dried and salt fish ? I'm supposed to leave in three weeks. I would do it. Great experience. Good money. Do it and have a great time. :) |

You will find ways to make it work and I guarantee you will not want to leave. Imported food is expensive but From experience you can get enough in your suitcases and even pay and extra bag fee and you will have enough comforts of home to last a year. |

And none of us know how we'll handle it until we do. WORD OF WARNING... An Island is like a VERY small town. Word gets around quick, and everyone knows about it. ONE fugg-up, and you're done. You aren't THEM. |

You can not scratch your ass, sneeze, fart, or belch without everyone in town hearing about it in the gossip mill. You know everyone and everyone knows you, you see the same people day-in and day-out. It sucks your soul, and your intelligence right out of you. You will turn into a stupid, petty, despot, or tyrant in no time? |
