    Hello and welcome.

    Er... depends on you. What do you like? What are you looking for? Also, I wonder how many people in NZ have actually tried the Falklands, to have any basis for comparison - I certainly haven't.

    There is no comparison between the two having spoken to people who have been to both.

    Largely depends on what you are looking for, job prospects/career, retiring, adventure sports, wild life.

    After looking at this, I have great appreciation and respect for NZ roads

    Yikes, I reckon the Falklands will be a bit colder, windier (er is that a word!), I mean less sheltered, and more remote.
    CAnt really say Id like to brave that myself, but good on you if your up for an adventure! :O)

    I think so. So if you like sheep and want to do nothing else but play with sheep go to the Falklands, if you like do other things besides playing with sheep and enjoy nice views whilst doing things with sheep then move to NZ!

    Contrary to popular belief, trolls are actually not that fond of mutton, it's just that their environment doesn't offer much variety.
