auckland, BIG little city

the 3rd day in auckland, the 8th days away from home.

didn't enjoy much in auckland cause the main purpose in auckland is to settle all the important application eg. open bank account, apply IRD number. waste quite lots of time on settling those stuff especially we forgot to translate our driving licence in english (our driving licence in malay, why? @_@ ) 

finally get translation for my licence in english, this allow me to apply my IRD and drive in NZ. it cost me NZ$50, actually can done it with RM10 in JPJ m'sia.

places that i went. not many since we are not here for too many days. the auckland tower was not tall at all, can't even compare to melbourne skydeck. so i skip the visit to the top of auckland tower. i better go to twin tower in KL. hehe ;p didn't took much photos too as i would like to save my hdd memory for more beautiful scenery later on~ south island, nz.

we are luckily to met our first new friends in airport while we declaring our baggage. she is a m'sian, 前韵律操国手, now is a wedding make up artist, have been traveled to many countries since 2008 and now in NZ, she is superb. :) she shared alot of travel stories with us and all of her research of NZ, that's really useful to us. hopefully the following months we can travel together. A German girl we met on the airport bus to city when we heading to the same hostel. Nice and pretty girl, she've come to the end of her journey; going back to Germany next week.

using internet in NZ is expensive, $2 per hour in internet cafe @_@  i missed m'sia internet although it's slow but is unlimited usage. haha~

there's a photography exhibition on the street, then i found out i've watch this exhibition 5 years ago in s'pore orchard road. 5 years later, i seen it again in NZ street. what a coincident! :)

heading to our next destination tomorrow - Te Uku, WWOOFing in a NZ family. that will be a 3 hours plus bus journey from auckland to their house. spending times on transport; that's traveling~ but the public transport here are expensive too, is better to buy a car or rent a car if you come for vacation.

a fun statement in NZ. sheep are more than people in here. :)

is 11.15pm in auckland now. wish me good luck for my journey in NZ :)
