Hi - I think NZ is one of the easiest places to make friends, people are so friendly and welcoming. You just need to make the effort. Working helps as you can easily make friends with work-mates. Or join a few social / sports clubs or something? When we first got here 2 years ago, I met a few friends from work, a few friends from a social club we joined and a few friends from an expat forum like this. Then we had our daughter and now almost all our good friends are baby-related.
Good luck

I have been here for 3 years and still finding hard to get to know more friends .... other than my work mates or salsa friends that I have known.  Would love to broaden my friends network.

find something you like doing and youre bound to meet like minded people. for me it was the open mic nites around auckland. a workmate once egged me on to join toastmasters, which i thought was cool way to meet new people. too bad my fear of public speaking got the better of me.

i think that the best way to meet friends is to go out and work on your social skills, think about posture, and laughter, i found lots of good tips reading this [Moderated - No Commercial Post] about relationships and healthy friendships.
