Liking your vid Sam. I spent 3 amazing months in the South Island. Loved everything about NZ!

I know of many relatively wealthy people from SA that relocated to NZ and are battling to survive financially. Some work multiple jobs just to survive. Every time we have a steak braai I think of our family in NZ who have to carefully plan their meals and who are not able to buy beef that often. Some were retrenched and one even suffered sexual harassment and had to resign as the system seems to favor men. Some areas are subject to land claims and buying a house is ridiculously expensive and mostly unaffordable to many. Ironically we had family from Pretoria who got robbed in their first month in NZ yet never in SA. I played with the idea of immigration, but am so glad we stayed. I enjoy the people, weather and lifestyle in SA more than my dissatisfaction with the crime and politicians.

There are 2 seas that bracket NZ, on the West Coast it is the Tasman Sea and that can be wild and wooly and give really good surf, on the East Coast it's the Pacific Ocean and that is far calmer. Auckland has both coasts, sitting as it does on a narrow isthmus, so you can go surfing or sailing in the calm Hauraki Gulf depending on the wind, and in that respect that part of NZ is better for boating and fishing. The sand on the West Coast tends to sparkle because it's ironsand and it is mined for the Glenbrook Steel Mill in Auckland.

Hey Sam, Welcome to NZ as someone who has lived in Southern Africa it is always interesting hearing different perspectives but certainly recognise the differences. I'm also a Cook Islander, as some comments have already pointed out you profiled some Cookies (drum dance) rather than some NZ Maori, yes we are Polynesian but there are differences. For those considering moving to NZ, note there are many South Africans already here in NZ literally thousands. As for sarcasm, don't leave it out it is actually very common here just depends on your social circle. Simply put, Australia is bigger, better in many respects and has always attracted Kiwis there for decades so is always compared, competed against etc.

Hi. Thanks for the welcome, and I really appreciate you pointing out those things.

There are still beautiful parts of South Africa that don't have lots of crime. The problem is that most people have gotten used to living in large cities or the greener rainier parts of the northern and eastern parts of South Africa (apart from Cape Town). The safer parts of South Africa tend to be in the drier regions and mostly smaller towns which is good for small entrepreneurs and people who work on-line but the majority of people have been conditioned to working corporately and living in dense cities.

Got excited to hear it, went over to.lady speaking afrikaans and introduced herself. The woman looked at her and said, "we never mixed with you in SA and we don't plan to do it.here". So yeah. To each his own. I have family that left because of the previous government and family that have left for this government. I know people from all over the world due to my work who have made SA their home. They say the quality of life is like no other. So go figure. The thing is, you are always an outsider no matter where you go and you will be reminded of that,.my aunt left 50 years ago,.lives in Canada. Her sister came home after 55 years there to be with her children who never left. She came home to die. People are people, no right choices and definitely no wrong choices. I.live here in SA, live a good life, have managed to send my son to the best schools we could afford. Travelled to most countries. Definitely not rich but travelling opens your mind and speaking to others you realise that every country has its issues and then you make your decision.

An owner of a 2 to 4 year old vehicle in Japan knows that the Shaken is coming and many elect to sell at the 2/3 year age point. Japanese cars are right hand drive like Japan. Join the dots.

You mentioned volcanic sand and New Zealand is on the rim of fire and therefore geologically unstable so earthquakes can happen at any time. The relationship with Australia was highlighted a few years ago when Australia deported New Zealanders back to New Zealand and the Kiwi PM said how terrible this was for Australia to do this. But these people had spent most of their time in Australian prisons. Also what the Kiwi PM failed to mention was that New Zealand does exactly the same thing to Australians who've spent most of their time in New Zealand prisons. So her sob story fell to bits when it was revealed the NZ does it too. These sort of New Zealanders and Australians are not the sort of people that you would invite to dinner.

I also lived 40km inland from Christchurch for 13 years. Being inland just a short distance means it gets snow during winter. Sometimes the snow would be on the ground for a few weeks at a time. Sometimes the roads are blocked for a couple of days. Even a 4wheel drive car gets stuck in that, but they have snow ploughs to clear the roads quickly. But most of the time I have lives in Christchurch (ie. 15 years or so). During that time we have had snow settle on the ground maybe 3 or 4 times. Not too thick - could still drive a 2 wheel drive car. But don't worry about a bit of cold. It isn't like the USA or such. A bit of different weather is the last thing you should be worrying about one way or the other.

@@crittersandcretins Cold? Relative to what? I have lived in Christchurch since 1995. I think we've seen snow on the ground 3 or 4 times in 29 years. Sure it is colder than most of South Africa, but nothing like the Northern hemisphere.

Thank you Sam.... I found that interesting.... Your 20 differences of things to know from New Zealand 🇳🇿 and South Africa 🇿🇦... I do love South Africa with all its politics 🙄 😒.... It is a beautiful country ❤️..... Haven't been to New Zealand yet. ... New subscriber 🫠

Sandflies...was a surprise when we visited, Browns Bay across the Auckland Harbour Bridge, was the SA hangout, icecream/rollerskating at Taranaki beach I think it was, near Howick... with ❤ from 🇿🇦, we enjoyed NZ very much!!!

Will consider it. Thanks!

I truly enjoyed this video. I'd like to find out about the climate in Auckland or NZ at large compared to SA.

Glad you enjoyed it. Will consider this in my next video.

You forgot to tell them about - chur bro lol as a greeting or agreeing about something but very well done. 😂

My home...❤❤❤

I am coming in 2 months. Thanks for this video. Have to leave my wife and kids behind untill their paperwork gets sorted. Have a newborn and gonna miss him lol. Hopefully they can come in 4 months. Have to see if i can rent a house and sort everything out while i am there for the first few months. Luckily my parents live there and can help me with all of that. If not for them this would not have been possible. Only thing i will miss in SA is a proper braai.
