How long!! With the greatest respect...five days is no where near enough time to gain an impression of a country and its people as varied and vibrant as NZ. Try five years.

You are joking aren't you? Please tell me you are.
New Zealand has the most wonderful, unspoilt scenic attractions and activities for tourists anywhere in the world. Witness Northland, the bay of Islands, Taupo and Rotorua, the volcanoes, the East Cape, Bay of Plenty, Coromandel Peninsula, Hawkes Bay & Napier, The Wairarapa and Kapiti, the Marlborough Sounds, Kaikora and the whale watching, Canterbury, the Southern Alps, the alpine passes and Fox Glacier, Wanaka and Queenstown, Milford and the fjiords, Mackenzie country and Southland. Furthermore, the main centres of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin are simply bustling with night life, the arts, cafe, restaurant & bistro culture and shopping all with cosmopolitan variations. What more could you want?

Absolute nonsense! There is a strong cultural heritage for sure, but "not up to date" is completely inaccurate. NZ leads the world in certain industries and has a very strong standing in IT and technology.

Yay!! Some truth is spoken at last! Don't listen to all this twaddle from Skillage, Attagirl. NZ is one fabulous big secret - isolated maybe, but a world away from all the troubles on this planet!
