Solo In New Zealand’s WILDEST City

[@Beetrecca]

I’m from London but I spent 2 years in NZ back in 2003 I was 23 I’m now 42 and seriously thinking of relocating as I fell in love with the country and the people. I have a lot of respect for the Māori culture and felt proper welcomed every where I visited! Big love to the kiwis🫡

Be careful. Methamphetamine is easier to buy than a pie and coke. Drugs come to you in Auckland. If someone is trying to get eye to eye contact with you and they are on a bicycle usually, I can guarantee they will discreetly whisper to you trying to offer u meth.

[@jacquirob9046]

Darn it! I wish Id bumped into you! As a JAFA (just a fantastic Aucklander) born and raised, I'd describe Auckland as trying to grow up to be like the real big cities of the world. 40 years ago, K Road was the sleeze capital of the country. Not anymore. Today its fun, hip, happening - cool. Yeah we get knocked by the rest of the country unfairly IMHO but hey, thats what you get when youre the big boy right? We are diverse but that means we are also less ignorant of others. Glad you enjoyed the vibe - will look out for you next time youre here! BTW LOVE Welly!

Great vid man! True blue Aucklander here. We do get a lot of shit which is so misguided. Worlds most liveable city many times in a row, top 5 cities in the world to visit according to Lonely Planet, Condenast (i think), New York Times etc. I think what you said about it being an afront to the senses compared to the rest of NZ is part of the reason. But i also think its because a lot of NZers haven't travelled and don't realise how good it actually is. Has the population to sustain lots of events/ things to do, two glistening harbours with islands to visit, white sandy beaches, wild surf beaches, beaut native bush with hikes. All around an interesting, multicultural urban fabric, like K Road. Yeah theres traffic and problems like any large city in the world, but they're pretty mild comparably to other cities on the globe. Love to see it.

[@cyndigooch1162]

Alex N I'm a Kiwi who grew up in New Plymouth and I've been living in Brisbane, Queensland for many years now. I've never lived in Auckland, but have stayed there long enough to form an opinion, hence why I want to mention that it's MUCH better than here, for various reasons, including the beautiful habour, which is in walking distance! Of course, there are negative and positive aspects with most places; however, some have a lot more of the former than others and I'm aware that Brisbane is close to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. It's not like the beaches are nearby though and the heat and humidity in summer exacerbates the pollution, so the air is stifling. I want to add that I'm not able to move from here yet; otherwise, I would do so tomorrow, just in case people give me the usual advice I see when someone writes about not being happy with living situations etc. 😊

(Wellingtonian here) The coughing and spitting I noticed last time I was in AKL as well, but from what I saw (the 15-20 times I saw it), it seems to be a practice specific to the Chinese immigrant community. Traditionally, kiwis are disgusted and sickened by what we call "hoiking" or "hoyking" (spitting mucus), so this must be a newer thing. I live in LA now and haven't even seen that much spitting in Chinatown - perhaps because spitting in public is illegal in the US - thank goodness!! I don't think you'd get away with it on a busy Wgtn footpath, you'd get a bunch of disgusted looks and people would yell at you. I know I can't help but yell at someone when I see them do it, its so disgusting.

There's a security guard there to ensure people don't spraypaint the tower base or anything but you're allowed to go right into the outer plaza area. The tower is impressive but what's really cool is the solid transparent blocks that surround the base section that enters the ground. During the day you can see right down into the workings and the actual entry to the tower which is reached during the day by the escalator just inside the sky city main building.
