Hi. I am in Michigan, US now but plan to move to NZ within a year. My husband has applied for a medical license and awaits word from the RACP. My son wants to attend Film School in NZ but we are having a difficult time choosing one from here. Anyone have any advise on that subject? Do any of you know of the reputations of the various film schools there? Should he go early, get a job and apply to school then? It is all so confusing.

I am glad that I found this site and hope to make a few friends before we come so that our transition is a bit easier.

About us: We are in our early 40's, both are in medicine and medical software. We have liberal political views and are hoping to either own our own or share an organic farm with other like-minded people in the Nelson or Christchurch area. As well as work in our professional fields.

We spent 2 weeks on our honeymoon in 1999 in New Zealand and have been working toward moving there since then. Can't wait to be called Kiwi!
