So, you have listed the 'outdoors' with a minor mention of alcohol.

Exactly the same promotion offered to foreigners by the government.

But what use are these things to an I.T. worker/Gamer, especially one that doesn't drink?

Last time I enjoyed the outdoors was a tramp in sixth form through real bush™ in the Urewera national park.

Even if those were a reason to come to a country, they are a better reason to come here for a holiday, than to come here to stay (i.e. how much time will you spend in the outdoors if you work fulltime...I would say that an energetic person would be one weekend a month tops, it would be a poor decision making process if you base it on that (18/365 days ~5% of your time))


Interesting note: N.Z. just passed immigration laws under urgency last night tightening rules around permanent residency. We match U.S. now in the sense that the person must be employed in an industry that 'matches their skills', it used to be that you could become a P.R. by flipping burgers or cab driving. (Note, I'm only using the media definition, not sure on the actual definition, so I wont claim that it is a case of a good time to have no skills ;) )
