If you come to Wellington and are so inclined message me and I'll buy you a beer (or a coffee) and welcome you personally :-) Thanks so much, but I'm headed for Christchurch. Since deciding to move, every kiwi I've met here since has offered to put me in touch with some cousin/uncle/sibling to help us get on our feet, and I've had a remarkable number of perfect strangers make similar offers via e-mail and forums such as these. Being that we're going through such a sad time right now as we pack our things and say goodbye to our city, friends, and family, these kinds of gestures are really very encouraging. It's nice to think that we're moving someplace where people are so friendly and helpful toward one another.
