Answer 1

NZ has a great lifestyle - I lived in Christchurch myself for a couple years, but mainly I lived in Nelson, top of the South Island where it's much more sunny!

See http://workingin-newzealand.com - explains alot about living and working in NZ - and obtaining work visa's.  

Look at jobs on the Jobs on the Immediate Skill Shortage List http://www.workingin-newzealand.com/info... and will give you the pay rate. (approx)
