What are the pros and cons living in NZ?
So far I've established
Pros
1) No income tax on foreign income revenue i.e. Internet Businesses (For first 4 years)
2) Small population Vs Size of the country - Also less immigration issues Vs EU etc
3) Incredible scenery!
4) Reasonable house prices - Although NZ don't appear to have had a property crash like in the West
Cons
1) Earthquakes, NZ sitting between tectonic plates
2) Low broadband speeds (although currently rolling out fiber atm)
3) Location - It's a good 600km away from anywhere!
4) High Import costs for most items
What other pros & cons are there?
What is the health care system like over in NZ? What about crime rates? How friendly are the people?
