Avoid all suburb areas EAST of Christchurch CBD (hardest hit and damaged areas in Earthquake. The land is prone to flood, soft and often sunken (Red zone areas where nobody wants) Go for the Western, North Western or South West areas of Christchurch even for rental properties. Linwood, Bromley, Shirley, Aranui, Sumner, New Brighton etc are best shunned!

Pro PAP SG NZ PRs people won't be in NZ unless they are involved in some PAP GIC/GLC Sg/NZbusiness projects. Those ex SG with NZ citizenship are definitely not PAP supporters.

I live in NZ for >25 years. Kiasu, Kiasi, SG parents who don't know how to cook meals, need maids to survive or require lots of homework/tuition/ECA for their children please don't bother coming to NZ because there are NO EXAMS or PSLE for Primary level schooling.
No need to pass mother tongue exams, no points system to get into JC/Pre U or University. Just pass the exams at Secondary School level (NCEA 1,2,3 equivalent to O level, JC1, A level).

More importantly, NO NATIONAL SERVICE to interrupt education to University, NO RESERVISTS to disrupt work.
Super marts(Pakn'Save, Countdown, New World), shops in major cities remain open till late (from 7am to 11pm or 12 midnight), Bars/Pubs serve alcohol till 2-3am. Prostitution is LEGAL, so no police raids on brothels operating in city centres.

No ERP, no COE, no PARF, no compulsory car insurance, car parks are free in surburban malls. Pre and post natal care is free to encourage more babies. Better to be self employed than an employee. Taxi drivers in NZ are not as overworked as SINKIE taxi drivers, there is a mnimum wage for unskilled workers at $14.50/hr. Blue collar workers (electricians, plumbers, mechanics, carpenters, tile/brick layers, masons etc) can earn higher salaries than white collar workets.

Those age 65 onwards don't clean tables at food courts or collect cardboards because all get UNIVERSAL PENSION of $500 per week per couple after tax, it is adjusted upwards each year for inflation proofing better than the CPF scheme which is not inflation proofed or where non working mothers with little CPF accrued would get NOTHING in old age.

Any comment on getting a TC3 property?

Real estate is the MOST IMPORTANT investment of your life in NZ for immigrants. Don't settle for less, go for T1 because it would be best for reslae value and is easily insurable, bad history of a house for earthquake damage may deem the property UNINSURABLE and SHUNNED.

Was in Dunedin several years ago. Small city but spotted several Indian restaurants. Ate at Taj Mahal. Not too bad but quiet expensive.

You must NOT base the price of restaurant food in NZ comparing it with Singapore. Always remember that NZ minimum wage is $14.5/hr and food prices in restaurants are reflective of this.

some of the prices of food charged in Singapore Malls are even comparable with NZ and some are more EXPENSIVE than NZ eg Dim Sum (Imperial treasure with 10%service charge/GST tea/towel/peanut surcharge)
The western food at HANS(Singapore) portions are smaller than any Roast meals in NZ FOR comparable prices.
Nasi Bryiani set at SG Prata Shop (NEX) is comparable with NZ which serves LARGER portions for pricing.
Coffee sold at STARBUCKS Singapore is definitely MORE EXPENSIVE than STARBUCKS NZ

NZ is really boring. If you are someone who sleeps at 7pm, it should suit you fine.
