NZ really hates letting people in. It's supposed to be one of the hardest places to emigrate to.

This is true. However, if you have an actual job offer then they will make it happen. My DH and I had enough points to emigrate without the job offer, but when I had one in hand the embassy person was prepared to break all the rules.

More for me!

I don't know about the she-devil part, but she definitely has the white part covered.

Which is what makes it awesome! However, Tom and I suspect they would turn us away for our large and in charge BMIs. But we have family there and have advanced degrees, which are 2 things off the top of my head they like. Also, I think Tom has the industry qualification.

I guess since they let my cousin in, I never thought of it as particularly hard to get in to...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

How are you getting to the airport?

I'm near the A train, so I just usually take it to Howard Beach. Except when I get lazy, and wave down a cab before I make it to the subway station.

Their small population is part of their charm and they know it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Lately when I've been fantasizing about emigrating, it's usually places like Sweden or Norway that I think about. Dunno why - maybe it's my Finnish blood? Anyway, isn't Sweden really hard to emigrate to as well?

Only immediate family counts in their calculations. My cousin being there meant nothing to them. Advanced degrees are good, as is the right industry. However, if you're over 30? 35? they subtract points. I misremember, I'm sure.

I used to do that when I was near the F instead of the Q. I'll see you at the gate tomorrow!

Actually, I'm pretty sure she's kidding. She likes the climate zone for growing roses, but the grandparents wouldn't be happy.
