............and skydiving! My daughter's doing an Australia, NZ trip - is loving NZ. She passed through Wellington just a few days ago and is now on the South Island. Skydiving in Taupo (good thing I didn't know beforehand!). My brother's in Waihi and seems to really like it.

Wow Sub! I was gonna try and make an argument for Salt Lake City being somewhere on the list until I saw those pics of Wellington. That looks very nice indeed. If I could just convince the wife that 11755 KM is not too far away from her mother... I might be able to fool her too since she has no concept of a KM.
I agree with bdgbill though, some of those cities... LA? I see Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on the list. Apparently electricity and running water are not considerations? Perhaps it has improved since I lived there.

I think it's time for my wife and I to move to New Zealand to get the hell out of the screwed up sinking ship called USA. It's too corrupt, too much of a police state, too many illegal aliens, too many problems.
What would it take for me to set up home in NZ? I doubt I can just move there.

Believe it or not, a U.S. citizen did that once. I remember that as a young lad.

To paraphrase Lewis Black...
"How do we know the US is the greatest country? Who compiled that chart? Other countries might be giving away free sh*t every day for all we know. You know what Canada gives away? - Health care."
