London To New Zealand
London To New Zealand
London was always a very crowded place, there weren’t enough general services to match the
population. Not enough departure stations, Police stations or stores. With the population being
so large, the crime rates were big. Most crimes committed were just petty thefts, assaults and
drunk disorderly. Still, hardly any of these crimes were ever brought upon a judge. Almost a
quarter of the people living in London could afford proper housing, they were forced to live in
utter slum and insanity. It sometimes even cost to use a public toilet. Overall London was an
awful place to live, people were getting constantly sick because literal raw sewage was being
pumped into the local rivers causing multiple outbreaks. It was horrific.

There were some posters put up around the bars and stores promoting this country called “New
Zealand”. The sign read all about “Huge Land Masses” and many freedoms, it was intriguing
and I was convinced.

The journey was average. Everyone that couldn’t afford upper class were crammed into a small
section of the ship. The estimated travel time was up to 6 months, possibly more. The food mainly consisted of fish and soups, people would just bring their own supplies as the ship offered very little and unappetizing dishes.

We arrived in New Zealand 5 months and 8 days after leaving London. I settled very quickly and
easily, back in London I only earned 1 pound an hour, however here I didn’t get showered
in money, but I was earning a lot more than I ever had before I moved, So being able to
buy a small house here was really exciting. I got a cottage In Wellington. It had a beautiful
view of the ocean. There wasn’t anyone for miles, it was quiet and the weather was calm.
The locals were generally kind, I felt safe. I was home.
