So hows it going?
So far so good. We haven,t found a flat yet but we are looking. We have been all over the place.
Yesterday we viewed 6 places. we didn't get any replies for a while and then all of a sudden everyone was ringing us. Grge has discovered the secret which was that as soon as he started writing Dr Greg as a contact people all of sudden wanted to know us. Perhaps his original title Mr Cow may not have been as appealing.
Everyone keeps asking what district do you want to live in and cant quite understand that we don#t care because eveywhere is close here. They just about fall over when we tell them in NZ we only have to pay 3 weeks rent as bond. Here it is 3 - 6 months bond. OUCH! then 3-6months agent fee. Apart from that, rent is very reasonable.
News flash! Our teenager has already decided she loves it here but she loves NZ more, aa...and she is even considering going to Uni here.
Everyone here is very friendly and tolerant of our non german speaking status.
Gregs workplace is also very friendly and works very similarly to any Uni.

oh I'm sooo glad you've landed - happy if not a little tired by the sounds!
How was the flight...you'll have to give me all the goss at a later date. Oh and how are you computer wise...has Greg had to leave his 'girlfriend' in NZ or has she tagged along for the journey?
Best of luck with the flat hunting..does the uni help out with relocation or extablishment costs?
Talk to ya soon
Kylie (and Ben)
