Hi, As another migrant a few points, Christchurch is a nice city to live in with somewhat cheaper living expenses but this is more than made up for by the poor employment prospects and the lower pay. If it is work you are concerned with go for Wellington, still a lovely vibrant city if you can cope with the wind.

I am currently in South Africa but joined your group as I am immigrating to New Zealand at the end of July. I am really wanting to settle and find work in Christchurch, but from what I have seen so far it looks like I might have a better chance in Wellington. I really do not see myself settling in Auckland. It is quite funny to watch your discussions over the last couple of days - especially the ones over the February meeting and all the suggestions. It seems like user groups all over the world have the same things in common. I can show you the exact same discussions going around in South Africa. I will be monitoring this group and contribute where I can and hope it goes from strength to strength so by the time I land there you guys have a well established bi-monthly meeting in place where I can meet all of you.
