Odd enough, New Zealand was AFAIK the biggest exporter of lamb meat. But anyway, maybe the higher cost of meat would be a good motivation to raise chickens, and maybe even rabbits as a source of red meat.
Not to mention how easy it is to find some good deal on JDM stuff. Had I been there, probably I'd be tempted to pick some 4WD kei microvan.

I had some coworkers recently get back from the 'States, and they stated they'd always had the perception it was more expensive to live here, but they were shocked by the cost of everything in the US (now). Overall I'd characterize the cost of living as being more than, say, West Virginia or Georgia, but less than Massachusetts or Oregon, while wages are more Massachusetts.
