There are many reasons for leaving a country and it does not follow that just because you want to leave other aspects of your country behind that you want to leave your own ethnicity behind.

Divastarz - have you checked out
Welcome to Pinoy.Net.NZ - Filipino (Pinoy) News in New Zealand
http://www.newzealandfilipino.com/index.php

Hope those websites help,

Eventhough, we left our country of origin, that doesn't mean we don't want to be with them anymore.

We have a very strong culture and traditions that we would like to share within our community.

Hi Kabayan!

We are still in the process of completing our applications to migrate to New Zealand. Although my husband is a New Zealand citizen, there still a lot of papers to be completed.

Goodluck on your wishlist!

Mabuhay!

Hi
Yes, that's a good idea. You have to find out first whether you'll like it or not. We were there for the whole month of February of this year and I love it!

It's a beautiful country! We went from the North to the South Island. Some sceneries are breathtaking! People are very friendly and very accomodating. We also had the best flight (Air New Zealand non-stop!) from LA. They are very kids friendly!!


New Zealand's ways of life is so much different from North America. Its much slower pace. Laid back attitude!!! Although, the cost of living is almost the same... but, its the quality of life that is different most especially for people with children.

Yes, we will keep in touch!
Where abouts are you in the Phils?

Paalam!

wow really? cool! im still browsing through the list of my friendster friends to see if anybody is already stationed there, kasi as in i dunno anybody dun, i was just comparing yung standard/state of living ng other countries. coz im currently stationed in singapore, grabeng init dito, so its either canada, antarctica (haha) or yun nga OZ/NZ. i grew up in leyte and worked in manila before migrating here and there. kau po?
