Real estate near queenstown can be really expensive.

Better to look at other parts of Otago for a better deal.

Nelson is good too.

Unless the building is very old this is unlikely to happen. The houses are built to an earthquake code.

CECA area in Singapore actually smells worse than a flock of sheep in the fresh green NZ countryside.

Wow! Didn't know that. But if I remember correctly Christchurch was almost flattened by a big earthquake not long ago. It was frightening!

Indonesia is more suitable for u. The volcanoes are also more active there!

The damage was to all the old buildings and churches which were built before earthquake standards were established.

If you buy anything built from the early 90s onwards it should be fine except in the most severe of earthquakes that are at the high end of the scale.

Its not the earthquakes that Asians should be worried about. Its the racism that will make your stay unpleasant. A display of wealth such as buying of property with make you more detestable.

I'm Burmese and have not experienced any racism in NZ. I was discriminated against far more often in Singapore by the Chinese majority.

You are one of the "fortunate" few who will never experience racism. Even if a white guy sits and farts on your face, you will thank him and say his fart smells like Lavender.

Regardless, I don't think NZ is a safe place with all the deadly earthquakes.. Best to avoid!
