    Newcomer New Zealander looking for work .

    Love will conquer all obstacles. Come to Argentina and live for a short while, an experience that money can not buy, then decide from there. It's hard to use the income in Argentina to support the expense in NZ, should be the other way around. Find an online job and work from home.

    Legal Seeking advise on a "touchy topic"

    There's no such court for these things. CCTV will only show one guy picking an enveloppe and signing for it. Guard will not eat a sh*t sandwich for you. It's none of his business.
