Because I know ED is teaming with NZers . . .


This lovely Polish guy helped me a lot with some research earlier in the year. Here's the thing: he has a longheld idea of writing a book about migrating to NZ, as a reconnaisance for moving his own family there himself. I know, bodacious.


He asks me to connect him to a number of NZers to find out what NZ is REALLY like to live in. Problem is, I left there in One Million BC and have no real ties anymore. I have sent him several websites for Poles living in NZ, but I know he wants to talk to "the real kiwis" (bla bla) as well.


If you have lived there yourself reasonably recently, and would be happy to talk to Wojciech (sounds like "Voychek") please send me a PM and I can link you to him. It would be a real kindness, and might be fun to do. He is a science grad who now works as a journalist and science fiction writer. His English is really excellent.


Thanks, LS.

To be clear, this guy lives in Poland. The chat would be by email.


Surprised and disappointed no-one has offered to do this. I always used to find expat NZers keen to expatiate at length and with feeling on this exact subject: life in NZ. Very odd. Can you help?

    • Many many moons ago, I worked as a mystery shopper for a while (amongst a number of other part time jobs, including a mystery traveller on the buses 🤣) I was asked at very short notice to go and have a meal at that Harvester, because it was a bank holiday and they couldn't find anyone else to go. I thought, well, it would be a free meal, and they paid for a meal for two (on top of whatever tiny amounts they paid me for my reporting on it). I can't remember the exact details, but It was vile. To be fair, it wasn't as bad as a similar meal I once had at the Dog, and unlike that at least it was free, but it would take a lot of wild horses to drag me back to another Harvester. I don't suppose Spoons would be interested. They closed the one in Forest Hill, and at least that was an interesting building. And the Beer Dispensary nearby never did very well, though probably there were reasons for that (like a very small selection of beer). But yes, it would be nice to see a decent pub/restaurant there, although sadly I presume the skate park would then be turned into a car park, regardless of whether Southwark doesn't like cars.
    • Yes, he worked with Richard Thompson, as well. Sadly you've missed your chance to buy him a pint ....
    • Did you manage to get to vets to scan for chip?
