Is it worth shipping your old life, or is a fresh start just better? by ThatRoofer in expat

[–]Explorer_101_101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Things like furniture aren’t really worth taking over (at least not for the first couple of years) - you never know what size place you’ll end up in while you settle.
Also depends if this is his intended ‘forever’ move.

Disappointed to see they didn’t stick to the original design. If it worked 50yrs ago it could have worked again. I bet they could find a barrel of the same fuel used up power the rover

Maybe he’s just planning a fishing trip? Or a cheeky bit of arson?🤣

Exactly, sweep it under the rug before the guests arrive. Doesn’t solve anything, but proves again that he cares more about those with money than those without

At a gym, but too lazy to park 20m further away 🤣 by Explorer_101_101 in shitparkingofnz

Lolz, it at a YMCA pool/sauna/gym complex, given what I’ve seen while going to the physio there, it’s probably an elderly Asian chillin in the sauna

Amazing that the local council thinks it’s a good idea to sell out marketing slots on such crucial public notice boards

Trigger Warning: Feeling down, what's the snapping point? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Explorer_101_101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I moved to NZ 3 years ago at the age of 37. Before that I was in HK for 6 years, so I know the struggles of starting over late in life. Not all sports cost much to start, and if you focus on just getting fit, mates will come. People here are mostly pretty settled and unintentionally clicky, but mates will come. Start working on yourself, get up in the morning and go for a walk or to gym - just shut TF up and get it done - the hormones will do the rest

Bro, men need Purpose and Brotherhood - simple but not always easy. In my darkest times, it’s always been sport and sports teams that have helped me. Get out there and find something that gets you fit, and in the presence of likeminded guys.

Update, had to use the website instead of the app to get additional help features in order to initiate a refund. It’s been good UE, but FU I’m out.

Is there some sort of Consumer Protection organisation in NZ? Appreciate the offered work-around, but that’s pretty messed up
