NZWH Day 5 - Journey from Auckland to Tauranga

Woke up early in the morning to search for jobs to confirm where are we going Called few packhouses but there aren't any vacancies available.  Finally called to Harbor City Backpackers where they can provide some jobs.  They confirmed that we can start working tomorrow N we booked a bus from Auckland Central to Tauranga online at $21/trip.  Took the bus from Sky City bus terminal.  From the announcement, we must put on the seatbelt.  Along the journey, there are some nice views to enjoy.   Bus departed at 1pm and we reached Tauranga at 5pm. It was just 2 min walk from bus station to our new hostel.  Paid $155/week and checked in  The room looks good.  Again, twin sharing room for both of us.  After put our stuffs, we went to nearest supermarket. Pak N Save.  The bus from our place to there cost $3/person! Thats pricey wei!!  And we decided t...

NZWH Day 4 - Auckland : karangahape road + victoria street

Yhere Went Woke up late today, at around 8:55am.  Went out to make our breakfast.  Creamy chicken soup.  Garlic bread, and tried to put some cheese on top. Not bad :))  Went out with Xiang Fei's car and as usual I'm sitting behind. Theres no chair available. So I have to lie down. Luckily I have short legs!  The weather today is weird, juzt like woman having menopause.  Sometimes the sun shines brightly, sometimes it rains, and perhaps after 10 minutes, the rain stops.  We are at  karangahape road. Where they have alot of asian shops, 2nd hand shops and adult shops! LOL  Went to an Indian convenience shop to buy adaptor since mine was broken, costing me $5. And i saw this.  Well, Xiang Fei brought us to 蔡林to but some Chinese raw food to cook for today.  Saw the adaptor selling here at $2.99 only. So here is cheaper! Remember to drop by here if u are an Asian. Its just opposite Red Cross shop.  The garlic here ain't cheap. ...

NZWH Day 3 (Auckland) - Mt. Eden and Auckland Harbor Port

NZWH - Day 3 Mount Eden + Harbor As discussed with Xiang Fei yesterday, he will drive us to Mt. Eden for a hike and catcha great view of Auckland. After taking our usual breakfast, milk + weet-bits, we went out to Mt. Eden. It was only 10 minutes drive. Xiang Fei's car was cheap. It was only $1k++, but it wasn't in a very good condition. The brake is not that good, perhaps every used car are like this. The car was modified to 2 seaters and a single bed. So, we have to lie on the bed if we are sitting on this car for more than 2 person! I sit in the front when Cherly drove.  Reached Mt Eden, went for hiking. Well, it was a breathtaking view. Very happy when I reached and saw the view.  It was 12pm and we decided to go back. This time, Xiang Fei drove, and I lied on the bed behind. LOL. We cooked our lunch for today, well I don't really cook, coz I dont' know how to cook. Cherly cooke...
