so i'm leaving in 5 months to live in new zealand with a friend for the year, we've sent in all the paperwork to get our visa's and jobs and watnot, not its just finding a place to live.
we fly into Aukland, but aren't sure where in the country we'd like to live.
Anyone know of good places for two 24 yr old males just looking to experience a different culture and meet new people!
Also, what are some good sites I could use to find a nice appartement in a good part of town?Moving and living in New Zealand....need advice?
my cousin moved there bout a year ago nd she loves it she actually lives in auckland and says its to die for but she is into her sports. i also hear christchurch is nice but that is no where near auckland but just think about it. try google for apartments it should help !!Moving and living in New Zealand....need advice?
My only experience in NZ was on a typical package tour,
but I feel I got somewhat of a sense of the place.
We went to a lot of places on both North and South Island.
Auckland is the big commercial centre and ';main city';.
It seemed to me very much like other modern cities and for
that reason might be a better place to live than to visit.
It's sort of the reverse of the old clich茅:
';a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there';.
Other cities, to me at least, were more picturesque and
with lower populations, slower and calmer.
Wellington at the south tip of the North Island was beautiful and would appeal to me greatly.
The South Island has fewer people, lots more sheep, and
incredibly beautiful scenery. Christchurch seemed a nice
city. In fact, just about every city, large and small
seemed rather nice.
For your age, probably your choices would be limited
to the larger cities such as Auckland and Wellington,
as you are likely to find more of a social life and ';action';.
I would imagine your chances for employment are best
there as well.
If you are more into country-type and outdoor activities,
then there are lots of choices. Queenstown, for example,
is a big tourist attraction with lots of adventure sports
going on, so if that's your thing, it might work out.

I'm getting a new dog, any advice?
Her name is Tara and she is 6 months old. She is 3/4 Great Pyrenees 1/4 Maremma. Hopefully she will be a livestock guardian dog (LGD) for my goats. I've been doing a lot of research about her breeds and LGDs in general so I can kind of prepare myself as in what to expect. Does anyone have any advice as in how to introduce her to the goats? Should she be immediately kept in a pen with the goats, or near the goats? Should she be allowed inside the house at all, since she won’t generally be allowed after(if) she bonds with the goats? Does anyone have any idea how big she may be now? I emailed the person who has her asking questions also but she hasn’t got back to me yet. I’m getting her this Monday so any advice would be greatly appreciated.I'm getting a new dog, any advice?
That's nice! Dogs are very playful!
Here are some tips:
•Walk the dog everyday before you start school
•Don't forget to feed your dog!
•Be sure it has lots of attention. You might want to start with a puppy first because it sleeps when you're in school.
•Teach your dog tricks. Its a best way to have a really playful dog.
•You might want an Australian Shepherd. It's playful, it needs long walks, and naps a lot. I have one and it's one of the smartest dogs. Or you want a Border Collie. It is the smartest dog.
Okay so I hope you will get a dog. Here are some websites:

Well I don't know about this breed, but I do know if you type great pyrenees in your search engine, you will probably find some clubs to join. I have shelties and I joined sheltie clubs and you can ask questions there like you do here and you get lots of answers and mostly lots of support. I guess I would put her on a leash, and take her to the goats to see how she reacts. My neighbor has a goat, and two boxers, and the goat keeps the dogs in their place. My moms dogs were outside during the day with her, but slept in the house at night when the weather was bad. I would train her to behave in the house in case you have weather issues.

this website tells u everything u need to know ...... even training w/ sheeps n cattle ......
I wouldn't think u should bring the dog in the house ..... it says that puppies as early as 3-4 weeks are placed w/ young lambs to begin the bonding ..... don't want to confuse ur puppy ........
they get upto 23-29 inches 65-110lbs

Hi Meg:
If you want to use an LCD TV as a monitor so you can watch TV with the same equipment and also view DVD movies and stuff, I think the best option is to get a model from the ';Touch Of Color'; line from Samsung.
There are several monitors from that line that come already with an integrated TV receiver, that way, you can use it with your PC as a monitor, but it also serves as a standalone TV because you can connect either your antenna or your Cable TV to the back of it and watch TV as in a ';normal'; TV.
By going for that option, you save some money and you won't need to buy extra TV tuner cards for your PC.
Here you have three different LCD's that come already with TV tuner, and of course, you can also use them as a monitor for your PC:

Yea if you want quality make sure you buy a computer with HDMI, you can use that with most new HD TVs. A lot of new TVs also have VGA, thats good too.
Hi there
Im sorry, im not computerized expert. you can stip by Fry or else to get a clear consultants
goodluck
I would go with an AMD system - it's much cheaper. Plus, you're not gaming or doing anything heavy duty so no need for an over-priced Intel.

Weight Watchers, (^_^ Starting a new life) any advice on how to stay motivated?
My mom is going to be taking me tomorrow to a Weight Watchers meeting. I'm going to be starting it and I couldn't be happier...I am going to be 17 and I weigh 210 pounds. I am 5' 3';. This is not good whatsoever. But, I'm going to start taking care of myself. I want to be normal. I lost over 20 pounds on Jenny Craig but I couldn't take the food anymore. And I gained it all back. I just need to get motivated again. I want to be able to shop for clothing and not feel so ashamed of myself...It hurts so much sometimes. Especially hearing some EXTREMELY skinny girls say ';I'm so fat!';. I need to be healthy. I want to be able to do so many things.Weight Watchers, (^_^ Starting a new life) any advice on how to stay motivated?
You are on the right track! Weight Watchers is the best!
It teaches you discipline and accountability.
The best thing is you get to eat REAL FOOD! I'm not surprised you gained back your weight once off Jenny Craig.
The best advice I can give you or anybody is don't look at it as a diet, but a life change. Which simply means, when you reach your weight goal, you will still have to continue eating as if you were on a ';diet';. Otherwise, you will again regain all your lost weight.
This doesn't mean you can't splurge on occasion. I have disciplined myself to have 1 or 2 bites of a chocoloate cake and then walk away. If I still want more, I just take my dogs for a walk - 99% of the time, by the time I'm back from our walk, the craving has subsided.
Stay active, even if it's just walking every day. You will be surprised at how fast the lbs will melt away.
And please don't set your sights on being a size 4! Always set goals within reach - otherwise you will never hit your goals and then you will get discouraged and of course turn to food. If you're a size 16 now, set a goal to fit into size 14 jeans in 30 days. Every 10 lbs you lose, usually means one size smaller.
Remember to set REALISTIC GOALS!
I hope this helps and I wish you great success!

OMg I HATE my new haircut any advice?
Okay I have a theory that a new haircut always takes 2 weeks or so to settle in. I got a haircut 2 weeks ago and I hated it....I let my hair grow out past my boob legnht so that I can later have lots of layers cut into it. However I must have not communicated well with the stylist. the shortest layer barely touches my shoulder and I hate the way it look because it's way too much of a difference from the longest layer in my hair. What should I do wear my hair in a bun until I can grow out my shortest layer and eventually cut it even?OMg I HATE my new haircut any advice?
Try curling it.
Try straightening it.
Don't worry...it'll grow out...but instead of wasting
your time hating it...learn to love it.
You can tie it back in a simple pony tail...and a bun.OMg I HATE my new haircut any advice?
I hate retarded hairstylists who **** up ur hair, no matter how specific you are, no matter how many pics you show, they still get it wrong! I asked to get my hair trim and my bangs trimmed below my eyebrows. My hair ended up above my chin and my bangs 1 inch above my eyebrows!!! AGHHHHH
Your hair feels thin because of all the layers she cut in your hair and didn't take the time to blend them and take some of the weight out of the top or shortest layer. So, you hair feels a little uneven. I'd say to go back to the salon where you got it done and see if you can have the girl try that or if she can fix it. But, most salons say you can come back within a week after that you might have a hard time?
Okay, so I did the same thing and I pretty much had to wait it out. You can't style it cute or anything, it just looks awful allll the time. I ended up getting it cut to the shortest layer, which was at my shoulder. I got eight inches cut off. Yeah, I was pissed. I suggest you do the same because it looks a lot better than all the layers, trust me.
Your hair feels thin because its super thick at the top and you cut off all the hair, so for each layer, thats how much hair you cut off. At the bottom, there's barely any so its super thin because there's like no hair.
Hang in there, you'll be alright.
You have a couple options.
1. try Curling it. If your hairs curly, you don't notice the layers as much.
2. Don't cut it quite even, but do cut the longest layer shorter, That way, the contrast won't be so dramatic.
3. You can find hairstyles, where your hair is half up. just pull the short layers back.
Just wait it out. Get another haircut after a month or so if you don't like it by then.

Need a little advice on a new boyfriend.?
He's very macho and manly. But, he leaves most of the moves to me. He's very laid back about sex. It's like I have to guide him, like he's afraid ill stop him if he makes a wrong move. Then he says things like ';so you finally decided you want a kiss'; or ';what took you so long';. Need some ways to light a fire under him. I want him to make the moves.Need a little advice on a new boyfriend.?
You got a submissive man! One should count herself lucky! Though, if you want him to take the lead, just tell him,';Honey, if I want you to stop, I'll tell you. Until then, KEEP GOING!';Need a little advice on a new boyfriend.?
wow....i'd kill for a woman like you....tell him to take turns being the dominant one. thats what i've done and it works out well and its pretty fun
it may be weird...but tell him to make the moves. thats his job not urs.
but if u dont want to do that...then just stop making moves on him. kinda play ';hard to get'; u kno?

HEY im new to wrestling any advice?!?
hey im a sophomore girl who is going to wrestle, ive gone to camp and have my gear and all, but idk what to expect when season comes, and helpful advice is greatly appriciated !(:HEY im new to wrestling any advice?!?
When I wrestled for my school Speed and aglity worked best for me. So you can just try to be faster and have more aglity than the one you face. And TRY NOT TO GET HURT.HEY im new to wrestling any advice?!?
I think that is so awesome! My son (now 23) wrestled in junior high, high school, and college. In his senior year of high school he was MVP. Wrestling is the oldest sport in the world. It is mentioned in the Bible. Wrestling is not only two people rolling around on a mat, it is a disciplined way of thinking, a philosopy almost. I can always spot a man or boy who wrestles. He carries himself well, and is a gentleman.
You can also use wrestling to go onto other things. Such as, Brazialian ju jitsu, karate, all martial art forms, kick boxing, and boxing. My son now does all.
Trust me, if you wrestle, for the rest of your life you will eat right, stay in shape, and be in good physical condition. It's a mind set, not only a sport. And, it's a tight knit family. Coaches, team, remain close. My son is out of college, and still keeps in touch with his high school wrestling coaches. They were his mentors, they helped mold him into the wonderful athlete he was, and still is. You will be too.
Advice: watch your knees! Always wear knee pads. My son had a scope done on his knee at 15 years old. Because of wrestling. That muniscus gets damaged fast.
Well ,i think this is a question to ask for yourself. I'll just give u the facts and what u need to start if u want to start wrestling. First off, its never to late to go to a sport. Wrestling, although is one of the hardest sports you will ever have. In wrestling, there are no such things as cut, its just Varisty line up and just JV. I would ask yourself if you are committed to this sport because this sport demains alot of time and energy. That WWE stuff is not what they do by the way. Wrestling requires both mind and body and is alot like Martial Arts. If you want to do this then i recommend you join a wrestling club right away. Wrestling clubs will help you in basic techniques and basic work outs and will ask u to compete in tournaments which will also improve you. So in other words, if you are afraid of pain, dont commit to anything, and wont do anything for your sport, then you mine as well not waste your time. If you join, i recommend you start working out alot. 5 miles a day and so on and so forth. Whichever way you go, you can always request more information from me. Good luck
I am a male, but I was new to wrestling as a Freshman... I enjoy it, it is tough and nice for conditioning if you are in other sports. You get aches a good amount of the time, but it all depends on how your coach trains you that will make a difference. i.e. Some coaches will value weight training over conditioning. My coach was almost all conditioning and yeah, aches nightly.... And remember, you will most likely wrestle a guy in a match, or even in practice. I've seen friends get their asses kicked by girls on the mat.
Nothing in particular. I will say that It's a sport where you have to learn to take the fall and you will be aching from time to time. Also pain is going to be a factor..Just try your best. thats all i have. Also you should look up some amatuer wrestling on Youtube.
remember dont get cocky dont underestimate your opponent and learn abunch of move
