trust me.. i eat em half row per day..
seems like u know cooking very well..
not gonna be big problem to you..

thinking bout money.. heheh try part time working..
can get extra cash for extra shopping galore

Ah right, if it's only made of creamer, jelly powder and water, it's not on the banned list and the customs will let it through. It wasn't a mistake or anything like that.

Like I said earlier, they allow lots of food into NZ. You just need to watch out for certain blacklisted stuff. The strict no-food through customs is a myth. I've brought all sorts of stuff in - fresh roti canai, satay kauh, Chinese New Year cookies, fresh pau (no meat), mooncake (no egg), fresh asam laksa noodles, and even fresh fish (but must be sea water) and fish ball.

Just declare everything and you'll be fine. Take my word for it.

RUGBY pleas, not American football. Kiwis think American football is a game for wimps since they have all that protective padding and helmets.

The Super 14 (professional league across 3 countries - NA, Aus, S. Africa) has already started. When that ends, there's the NPC which is a local provincial tournament.

Aside from that, there's also rugby league. It's a sport very similar to rugby but with some different rules. NZ's Vodafone Warriors play in Australia's NRL.

Duh! Seems like NZ taxes. houses and insulation cost are crazy inbalance.... Even earn 6000 per month... 1500 go to income tax.... 10% housing loan... 300k - 400k per house.....living expenses.... that explain why not much ppl has $$$ to insulate the house lol May be it is time to learn some housework how to insulate heat b4 going there.

[/quote]
At least you see the benefits of your tax here. It doesn't go to fill the pockets of Kiwi-putras.

[/quote]


Thanks for the encouragement. I don't min for the high tax paying though, what I think it is hard is the 10% interest housing morgage loan haha well...300k - 400k per house without insulation and 10% interest rate. what a big duh! I gotta bring all my asset in malaysia just to get a house there if I don't wanna loan any $$ from thier bank.

dont worry huix. house price are dropping !

wow! why NZ's tax is so high?
all your earnings just waste on the tax..

all england originated based countries has high tax but those tax money will go to social benefitial for example HIGH quality public medical service for almost free....

that is called a socialised welfare state........you tax money is not wasted but goes into public services which you enjoy for free or minimal charge, eg healthcare, education, libraries, subsidised public transport, old age pension, unemployment benefits etc........

you will understand all this next time when your children grows up into uni, and when you grow old and need medical care..........

but it is a concept probably foreign to some segments of msian society who are used to enjoy these perks without the need to pay high taxes........

or you prefer to be tax moderately highly, have you tax money wasted by politicians on useless projects or bailing out failing business ventures or just plain old 'leakages', need to spend a fortune on private education for your children, and go bankrupt when you fall sick, like in some countries........

Don't forget besides income taxes, there's the Goods and Services Tax (GST) which is 12.5% and land rates to city councils.

Public transport was expensive in Auckland and still is. But starting this year, tertiary students get 50% of the normal cost (but it's still inefficient and inconvenient). Not sure how it works in other cities.

Healthcare is still pricey here unless you fall into certain categories. It's too complicated to explain over here. But they have introduced further subsidies since I've been here. There's also the problem of long waiting lists but that can't be avoided.

A lot of the tax dollars are spent/wasted on education. I really don't see the point of putting students through university for cheap and giving them an allowance (only to certain income groups) when they really shouldn't be in university in the first place. It's too each to get a student loan here so there are people who take years and years to graduate - perpetual students.

Unemployment benefits are a good thing but as usual, they're abused. Then again, that's always going to be a problem.

But I like things like a clean (mostly) efficient civil service, good public libraries, clean public toilets, benefits and provisions for the disabled, a compensation scheme for people injured in accidents, street lights that work, well-maintained roads, schools with generally good facilities (sports fields, theatre, recording studios etc).

The system isn't perfect but I won't call it a 'waste'. Unlike in Malaysia where my parents paid tax for years and years but still had to finance our healthcare and higher education privately.

haha! tht's really clear..
why Msia government didn't do that?
then we can have a really nice environment just like other countries..

and is that why other countries currency are higher than Msia??
because of the taxes?

apa itu IPC?

haha! you are here jidinmiya..
IPC is International Pacific College,located in Palmerston North
The college that i'll be going SOON!!
haha!

hahaha! ya <EdLiNa>

just checking around. cheyyyy!

wow,ur gonna b college?
