How does Christchurch compare with Auckland?
Europe is TOTALLY out for me - economically & geopolitically a disaster. Most of Europe will be administered by the muslim league decades from now, the parts that are not will be very difficult to live in as I see nothing but war and disruption coming up there.
Brazil - the asses are too big and my friend from Rio has warned me about the crime.
Chile, Argentina, Nicaragua, Panama all sound interesting.
China is a pretty nice place to live these days but my top choice though would be Southeast Asia (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia). Mostly english speaking, you're pretty central, good geo-political circumstances, economically moving forward apace with close ties to China. Worth mentioning Singapore has been voted easiest place to do business this week (New Zealand was second) out of almost 200 countries:
