It will improve over time, I'm certain.

Anyway, you want pictures of New Zealand. I've got a picture of me standing in my garden in my albums, my cat is included. I'll try and dig up some more for you but my really good ones are on my iPod which i won't be able to upload for a while. I need wi-fi access.

Let me ask, are the people in Norwich friendly?

I hope your country's situation will improve as I really like the New Zeland...

You should post some pictures of NZ

Yes, it's extremely beautiful.

We've just had a bad earthquake for one which will cost the economy $20 billion. We also have massive foreign debt, we borrow 250 million a week just to keep the country going. Our cost of living has risen in the last 10 years and wages haven't kept up. Unemployment is rising as well.

It'll hopefully improve in New Zealand as time goes on, the government just needs to build up a surplus rather than debt. Hopefully we'll get out of that rut. It's not as if we're in it alone though, the whole world is in financial difficulty.

New Zeland is a beautiful country! I've been in Australia (Perth), but unfortunately, never in NZ... I'm sorry to hear about the situation there... Why does it became like that? I always though it's not that bad there. Before we move to England, we wanted to move to new Zeland, the problem was, that it's to far away from Poland, so coming back for holidays would be hard...

Yeah, you're right there.

I'm not Polish, no. But there are quite a few Poles on this website.

Half of my family lives in Southampton and the other half emigrated to New Zealand, I'm part of the group that lives in New Zealand. New Zealand is basically a tourist destination that's getting poorer and poorer.

Well, I hope it will get better, but with our ''great'' government chances are really low...

Aw, that's why, sorry I though you are polish as well
Wow, you have lots of Polish people around! In my city there are about 2000 of them but still it's not 10%... Good to hear that you had only nice experiences with them. But remember that not everyone of them is nice (as in every country)

In the short term it will get worse everywhere because that's just where the world is going at the moment. One can never be certain though.

How do I know? My family are in Southampton and have Polish neighbours. Plus I do 'a lot' of demographic research in my spare time, 10% of Southampton's population is Polish, I'm not sure about Norwich though or East Anglia in general. I think it's good though because all the Polish people I know are really nice.

I don't know why, but I have feeling that situation in Poland is getting worse over time... By the way, how do you know

Ah, that's good. Poland will improve in time, you just need to wait for it. In the meantime though England is a good compromise. Plus there is a large Polish community in England.

I like it here I miss my home country sometimes, but ''the system'' there is so stupid...
