This is weird: wanted to give you the link and now I discover that if you look at ‘other sites we like’ it is actually there: “move to New Zealand: the real story”. I shall have to update the resource section with this website, which I have only discovered yesterday! You are right: people still want to pull the wool over their eyes, but in many cases I found that this was also because they simply are stuck in New Zealand. They have sold their home, given up their jobs and have used up all their savings to just get by in New Zealand. So they feel that they have to convince themselves that it has been the right move, even though it is obvious that it isn’t. There is a lot of hidden shame and sadness amongst immigrants.
