I'm sure that its a very nice place. However, as I wrote last week NZ has sold off large amounts of its infrastructure to foreign corporations. This, in my opinion, will prove disasterous in the long term.

I want to emigrate to Denmark, or Sweden. Norway looks nice but I really don't think that I could tolerate the long, very dark, and very cold norwegian winters. Besides, Denmark is close to Germany and other countries. In addition Scotland has had a long relelationship with Denmark.

Britain is supposed to be the fifth richest country in the world. You'd never it know it though as council services have been slashed and I mean cut way way back. Council tax on the other hand is going up and up and up.
The South Lanarkshire Council sacked everyone in the library service last year and made people apply for their old jobs. Most people were taken on again, but with zero-hour contracts and less money.
