qwertyjjj qwertyjjj Post Count: 162 Msg: #1 311 days ago, January 15th 2009 | What are living costs in NZ compared to the UK? | Just interested as I may look for a job there and need to compare my original salary in the UK with what I get in NZ, which I presume will be much lower. qwertyjjj qwertyjjj Post Count: 162 Msg: #2 292 days ago, February 3rd 2009 | ? |  PA Leslie Pierre-Alexandre Post Count: 864 Msg: #3 291 days ago, February 4th 2009 | Due to the recent drop in the NZ dollar, a lot of thing are cheaper if you have to compare them to USD....but the pound has dropped even further south! | It's all depend what you try to compare. Smaller cities will be way cheaper than most average city in UK....but your salary will be lower also. On other terms, kiwis are by far the most friendly people on earth, you may not make a lot of money, but you'll be happy and make a lot new friends...I'm just back from the South Island.
