Hiya Cyndi, welcome to nzb!

Hmm. Job-wise, what kind of things are you looking for? I would at first suggest Auckland or Wellington..for warmth, more like Auckland.

Of course, our bay of Plenty members will say I am insane, or on crack, or something, and that Tauranga is the place to be.

Hi Kall

I am a teacher and my husband is a software developer!. We are looking into Wellington and we are holding thumbs for our permanent residency application to be approved...

Haven't heard much about Bay of Plenty --- is it where Rotarua is? (should probably look that up before posting this!!

Thanks
Cyndi

Heh, yup, I'm pretty sure they class Rotorua as part of the BOP.

In Auckland even. One of the team was a guy by the name of Charles/Chuck that was a semi regular on the #Auckland & #Auckland20+ chat rooms of the IRC Undernet about 6 or so years ago.

*tries to remember those old geek meet partys but can't because of all the alcohol consumed*
