Auckland 30Dec - 2Jan09

"Calling all die heart Gucci fans out there! If you want to get really cheap real Gucci stuff, then Auckland, New Zealand DFS shopping mall is the one stop area that you must go. Not only that it is cheap due to $$ exchange rates but also an additional of 20% discounts!!!"

It is the brand new year of 2009. Another cross over, another new beginning. Hopefully by now all our wishes might have come true. I'm pretty done with mine. haha. Fifi and I of course went shopping as usual one the first day after touch down. I tell you she is really a hardcore shopaholic. If there asian version of the movie, she will surely get in as the main cast. Haha.

Cheers and loud music was everywhere as it is New year. Went down to the harbour of Auckland to have our dinner then we headed straight to the casino at sky tower for our major celebration. Partying like crazy straight 8 hours till morning. I always loved the New Zealanders, they never fail to make me laugh my head off, but I always think the food there is really bad.

Notes about Auckland, New Zealand.

The Auckland metropolitan area, in the North Island of New Zealand, is the largest and most populous urban area in the country with a population approaching 1.4 million residents, 31 percent of the country's population. Demographic trends indicate that it will continue to grow faster than the rest of the country. Increasingly cosmopolitan, Auckland also has the largest Polynesian population of any city in the world, and has seen many people of Asian ethnicity move there in the last two decades. In Auckland's name is Tāmaki-makau-rau, or the transliterated version of Auckland, Ākarana.


The 2009 Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranked Auckland 4th place in the world on its list. In 2008, Auckland was classified as an Alpha- World City in the World Cities Study Group’s inventory by Loughborough University.


My opinion for people who intend to stay there for good, it will be a very nice, fun and quiet environment, plus stress free. Travellers for holiday, maybe not all the time if you get what I meant. My ratings:

Sceneries - 6/10*
Shopping - 7/10*
Food - 4/10*
People - 7/10*
