Working abroad
I am thinking about working abroad later this year - Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec)
I would ideally like to work in New Zealand or South Africa. Does anyone know the best way to do this and what sort of budget I would require?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have been to both countries in the last two years. Capetown in Nov. and the whole of the South Island with a two week stop in Christchurch during the DEC. Jan period. There is no comparison for how far you could make a budget stretch to attain a quality experience...SA and Capetown inparticular would be my destination of choice.Night time safety would be a major consideration, you would need a local buddy to tell you the do s and dont's as soon as you arrive.Food is also worlds apart it is much more cosmopolitan, a higher quality and loads cheaper (even in touristy places) in Capetown.I am not vegetarian, but was surprised by exactly how much meat constitutes a portion ....I ordered a kebab, and would have to describe what arrived as four steaks on a skewer with vegetables to die for and a bill of under a tenner. This is approximately what I was charged for a horrible sarnie and a coke in a nz upmarket(ish) cafe. In nz we had one remarkable meal in a month, in SA we had one ordinary meal in twenty sittings.
