This is the yet unfinished story of a German - Spanish couple with five children who left their home in Germany to widen their horizon at the other end of the world - New Zealand. They moved from Mainhardt (Lkr Schwäbisch Hall, Baden-Württemberg) to spend 2+ years in Thames (Coromandel, Waikato, North Island) in September 2010.

5 Golden Rules
By now, I feel that the first steps of integration have been accomplished.
As for now, I have learned five Golden Rules which I think are wise to be observed in Kiwiland, particularly if you come from the German culture:
1. Learn to live human relationship in the given moment, and be slow to dig deep in any sense.
2. Be willing to participate, and to give a hand. Consider this as a single rule.
3. Never boast or show off. Be modest.
4. Do not expect open critique. Learn to read between the lines.
5. Behave likewise toward others, be always polite.
