    Nice place, but not particularly wealthy, and everything is expensive because it’s imported. Housing is expensive too. Also there’s the tension between the Maori people and the government. And the recent shift to the right hasn’t improved anything.

      Seems like the right shift is kind of global. I don’t see any other country being a good choice either. And we did see the tension, and the haka.

      How’s science though? Main problem we have here is that people don’t really respect science anymore. Which is something that we find really scary long term.

        Not sure these days, but I assume they’d be in the same boat as the rest of the Anglosphere.
