Our Weekends in Pictures

It's been a busy few weeks for the both of us.. Ms Shortie just got back from a work trip while Mr Fatty just completed a conference. Just thought of posting a photo entry on some of our weekends. :)
Here's a glimpse of what weekends are like in NZ:

  4. Hi, I would be going to NZ on a working holiday visa in Jan 2014 next year. Could you advise the job market now in NZ? It would be nice to if I can contact you personally and meet up with you in Wellington. Thanks!

    1. Working holiday visa? I wouldn't worry too much about the job market since it's not going to be a career for you. Those backpackers we know here all seems to be gainfully employed. Well maybe except for a pair of korean students, but that's probably just because they need to just put in a bit more work in touching up their english language.

      Yup feel free to contact us when youre here.
