you get paid more
hit less by the recession
better shopping
better prices on clothes/food/petrol
culture is pretty similar to America; less of this tall poppy stuff.
However, New Zealand is way way WAY more beautiful. There's more to do and Wellington in particular is a pretty special place because you have a small-community feeling combined with big city bars/museums/events. This beautify and community feel, combined with an almost complete lack of dangerous animals that can kill you, means that NZ is the place for me.
In an effort to convince my loved ones to leave downtrodden America for NZ, let me show how wonderful it is to move to NZ, where it's beautiful almost all the time. (And don't move to Aus where you can't even swim in the ocean for fear of salties (Salt water crocs) and stingers (jelly fish)).
