 Sounds crazy.  I used to think New Zealand would be a great place to live, especially right after LOTR came out, but not now. 
 New Zealand is a great place to live. It’s an incredibly fair, transparent, high trust society where most things work really well. Nature is spectacular and the quality of life is some of the best in the world. But it’s not perfect and there are things to make better. It’s also part of the larger world, so trends elsewhere happen here too. 

Come visit. Rent a camper van, travel around the country, see for yourself.
