Facts about New Zealand
Are you tired of the crime and violence in South Africa, the poor political decision-making and a government managed education system that seems to get worse by the day and schools becoming a danger ground for your children? Then you have probably thought about emigrating to the other southern counterparts like New Zealand which is very similar to our country South Africa. Here are some facts and interesting-to-knows about New Zealand before you make a final decision of emigrating.
- Many South Africans emigrate to either New Zealand or Australia because of the similarities in lifestyle, climate, culture and population. However it is important to keep in mind that Australia is predominantly seeking young, skilled professionals within a particular age group. For that reason New Zealand is a more practical and feasible choice and not so strict concerning the immigrant requirements and policies.
- When emigrating to New Zealand you can expect to see and experience South Africa the way it was 30 years ago; less fast paced, friendly people, good schools, good services and not so materialistic and commercialised.
- In South Africa the housing is brick built and much bigger than the smaller, stacked wooden structured housing in New Zealand. Also the houses in New Zealand aren’t energy efficient and seriously lack proper insulation.
- If you are Afrikaans speaking and concerned about the English language and the absence of good South African food, don’t be too concerned as there are plenty of South Africans in Kiwi country as well as biltong and other quality South African food available in general. Be warned that the Kiwi does have a couple of dialects in their English language!
- Finding work in New Zealand is not that easy and you have to market yourself intensively. There is a probability that you’ll have to do something different at the beginning or start at a lower employment level, and work yourself up from there. However there are some careers that are high in demand.
- Gone are the closed-in houses, two meter high walls and alarm systems. The vast open spaces, at no cost might I add, is absolutely fantastic! When you’re living in New Zealand you feel safe and protected.
