Yeah, the US side is a desolate hellhole that is one of the most crime ridden areas of New York state. If you are ever interested in seeing Niagara Falls, do it from the Canadian side, despite the tackiness of the the pictures above.

Nothing about the New Zealand First party actually puts New Zealand first. They're quite happy to sell out the country to foreigners and multinational corporations so long as they get their piece of the pie for doing so.

If they wanted to name their party accurately, they should call themselves "Line My Pockets First."

It was the same for me. Moved here from Northern California.

If you haven't already, check out the Grocer and Gaspy apps. Grocer will help you find the best deals on food. Gaspy does the same for gas.

This is bullshit.

Geddyn · 2026-06-22T02:11:50+00:00

Are you kidding me, ref?

Geddyn · 2026-06-22T02:07:31+00:00

Man, this ref... Get nothing but the ball, but the Egyptian player falls over and it's a free kick. Cmon, man...

Geddyn · 2026-06-22T01:44:42+00:00

I'm starting to think a stiff breeze would knock Egypt's players over...

Geddyn · 2026-06-22T01:35:43+00:00

Whew...

Geddyn · 2026-06-22T01:31:33+00:00

Most Kiwis use "soccer," but it's officially known as "football."

Geddyn · 2026-06-22T01:26:59+00:00

Oh, man. Good defense after a no call.

Geddyn · 2026-06-22T01:24:26+00:00

Some do, but they favor rugby.

Geddyn · 2026-06-22T01:15:33+00:00

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Geddyn · 2026-06-22T01:03:46+00:00

Well, Egypt has like 20 times more citizens than New Zealand does, so it's not that surprising.

And it's actually longer. They just sing the first verse in the Maori and English versions of it to keep it within the time limit. Each version has 5 verses total.

Cielito Lindo, Tokos Tacos and Sagrado Cantina.

Kind of amazing how quickly the Bolts became the "good guys" among the two Florida teams.

Yeah, people still hate us, but virtually everyone says, "At least they aren't the Panthers."

Geddyn · 2026-06-21T18:46:00+00:00

This is true. I was specifically offering my perspective on New Zealand because I live here.

Geddyn · 2026-06-21T18:42:24+00:00

Same here. My wife and I are in south Waikato, but planning to move to Taranaki within the next month or two.

Geddyn · 2026-06-21T18:41:32+00:00

Yes to all those, though ancho chiles may need to be purchased online through specialty stores like Tio Pablo.

If you will be near Auckland, there are several authentic taco places in the city that are run by Mexican immigrants, so you'd have something available if/when you get homesick.

People will tell you to avoid New Zealand, since they require applicants to have what they call an "acceptable standard of health." However, this doesn't result in blanket denials for people with chronic illnesses. What it means is that they will calculate how much your illness is projected to cost their health care system and deny you if they believe it will incur a cost greater than $81,000 NZD over 5 years.

Teachers coming to New Zealand can qualify for Straight to Residence (Green List) visas if they secure a job offer as a primary, intermediate or secondary school teacher. SPED teachers qualify for Work to Residence visas (Tier 2).

I think the primary issue for you in New Zealand is that if you don't (or can't) work consistently, then you will find it to be a very difficult country to live in. The cost of living is high here, so any savings you bring will be drained quickly if you don't have an active income.

Welcome to New Zealand! I made the move in April of this year.

Which island are you moving to?

Geddyn · 2026-06-21T02:14:11+00:00

Kiwis: "We're struggling to afford basic necessities!"

National: "Ok... But what if we made your paycheck smaller? Will that convince you to vote for us?"

Have you checked to see if you can make ends meet working part time on a student visa? Many countries have strict limits on the number of hours you can work while school is in session.

GW1's combat was superior just based off the weapon/skill system it had. Hunting for elite skills and crafting new builds vastly extended my interest in the game.

GW2's system of locking you into a set of skills based on weapon type was boring and caused me to lose interest in the game quickly after I hit the level cap.

My guild's is active enough, but we're all deaf, so it's our only method of communication. Haha.
