I was considering making a move from Singapore to Wellington many years ago....but then I read it was the windiest city in the world, and with a cold temperature, that was a major turn off. I do like the vibe and compactness of it. And also...the earthquake in Christchurch deterred my move to Wellington. Wellington sits on a major active fault. Much of the city is built on land raised from the last earthquake!
@JasveerSinghBal-yc3by Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s true, Wellington is known for its wind (they don’t call it ‘Windy Welly’ for nothing 😅), but it definitely adds to the city's unique charm. The temperature is certainly cooler compared to Singapore. As for the earthquakes, yes, Wellington does sit on a fault line, and we do feel some shakes from time to time. But despite the risks, many still find it an incredible place to live, with its compact layout and creative vibe 😊
Hey @tubbyrainbow111, great question! Both New Zealand and Germany have their own unique charms, and it's hard to say one is better than the other-they are just different. In Germany, I loved the efficiency, rich history, and how close everything is to other countries in Europe, making travel so easy! On the other hand, New Zealand has this incredible natural beauty, a laid-back lifestyle, and such friendly people. Every country has its pros and cons, but I think it's all about what kind of lifestyle you are after. If you are thinking of making the move, I say go for it-there is so much to love here!
@@SushanthM-pv2sk I relocated from Germany to New Zealand about two years ago, and from my experience, it’s been a very safe country. While I’ve heard about certain concerns, it hasn’t affected my day-to-day life at all. Like anywhere, it’s good to stay aware, but overall, I’ve found New Zealand to be a peaceful and welcoming place!
