I'm certain the majority of people living here speak English.

uncle phil · 12-16-2008, 04:45 PM

this could be hawaii?

Tully Mars · 12-16-2008, 04:56 PM

In the SH? Not bloodly likely.

BadNick · 12-16-2008, 05:19 PM

oo oo oo...how about New Zealand?

Tully Mars · 12-16-2008, 05:22 PM

I am in NZ.

BadNick · 12-16-2008, 05:42 PM

Never been there yet, but from what I've seen in photos and heard about NZ I would love to go there...hell, I think I'd love to live there!

I'm just searching around and came up with this cool pic so here's my guess...are you in Cathedral Cove?

Tully Mars · 12-16-2008, 06:04 PM

No.

I've never been either. Like almost all places I've never been I certainly want to go.

BadNick · 12-16-2008, 06:30 PM

Are you on North Island, NZ?

Tully Mars · 12-16-2008, 06:32 PM

No I'm not.

BadNick · 12-16-2008, 06:38 PM

May we assume then that you are on South Island?

Tully Mars · 12-16-2008, 06:42 PM

Yes, yes I am on South Island, NZ.

BadNick · 12-16-2008, 07:06 PM

Are you north of Ashburton?

Tully Mars · 12-16-2008, 07:14 PM

BadNick · 12-16-2008, 07:33 PM

This looks like a cool place...how about at Dunedin Railway Station?

Tully Mars · 12-16-2008, 07:48 PM

That does look cool, but I'm not there.

uncle phil · 12-17-2008, 03:26 AM

washdyke?

Tully Mars · 12-17-2008, 04:25 AM

Sorry no.

uncle phil · 12-17-2008, 04:32 AM

waikouaiti?

BadNick · 12-17-2008, 04:49 AM

East End? I think that's about as far south as you can go on the island.

I show Fernbrook about half way from the southern end of the island and Christchurch.

uncle phil · 12-17-2008, 06:45 AM

west end?

BadNick · 12-17-2008, 08:31 AM

maybe Queenstown Harbor?

Tully Mars · 12-17-2008, 09:39 AM

Up, more west then east.

Nick, no but cool photo.

BTW- My last Dr. in the states wanted to move to NZ. He said their immigration agency told him he needed at least a net worth of 2 million for a full time resident visa. For Mexico I needed to prove a net worth of about 40k or an income of about $750 a month. Not both, one or the other.

uncle phil · 12-17-2008, 09:54 AM

west arm?

Tully Mars · 12-17-2008, 10:11 AM

No not in West Arm.

Here's a clue-

In the game six degrees of separation I could connect Anthony Hopkins to this town in one step.

BadNick · 12-17-2008, 11:39 AM

Invercargill, New Zealand!

That guy who Anthony Hopkins played in the movie "World's Fastest Indian" was Bert Munro, who raced his Indian motorcycle; he was a real cool old die-hard racer from Invercargill. A lot of places refer to him as "Burt" but look at his gravestone below...I would think his family & friends have that right.

Burt Munro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In our "tilted motors" forum bobby posted a thread about him with some photos. And I recently saw photos of him from back in the days when he went to Bonneville Salt Flats to try for the world land speed record and the pic showed a bunch of the other racers collecting a few bucks for Bert so he could go home since he was totally out of money after the races. He's probably riding his motorcycle through the heavens right now with that cool old leather helmet on his head.

Tully Mars · 12-17-2008, 12:22 PM

Bingo!

I just happened to be watching the movie, which was partly filmed there when I got UP location sighted in.

Good movie, good story, must have been a hell of a guy.

Yer up, where is your Bad Ass headed?

BadNick · 12-17-2008, 12:34 PM

OK where in the world am I this time?

I've heard of this kind of requirement and not just for NZ. The brother of a guy I used to work with moved to New Zealand with his wife a few years ago; they took everything they had and decided to open an inn/restaurant someplace on North Island. Last I heard they were doing fine and very happy. In this case, I think she was a citizen of New Zealand so maybe they let the spouse in without such restrictions.

I used to get an Ex-Pat new letter. Think it came out every quarter. It always had a list of countries in the back and what the resident visa requirement were. I don't remember seeing anything on NZ but there were several counties that grabbed my attention with huge financial requirement. I should go look up what it takes to get a long term visa for Monaco

BadNick · 12-17-2008, 12:48 PM

yes NH

I thought to live in Monaco you have to be born there or marry a prince or princess. PS: I love Grace Kelly.

That could be true, been a while since I was in search mode. I know one of the those small monarch European counties has some crazy visa residence requirements. Some day when I get bored I'll look it up.

So, city?

uncle phil · 12-17-2008, 04:16 PM

in PA?

BadNick · 12-17-2008, 05:18 PM

yes wh
not a city
not in PA ...but Grace Kelly grew up in her family house around the corner from my buddy in East Falls, part of Philadelphia. Some of the guys in the Kelly family were world class rowers.
