Hey there travel lovers…it’s been a great and hectic week for me…hope you had an awesome week too :)
 
If you read my last topic was about North Island…dah baca ke? So confident people follow my blog kan…haha…you should hokayyy cause I’m helping you save your time browsing info about NZ…hihi
 
This time around…it’s about the first city when you touch down in the North Island…can you guess?? 
 
AUCKLAND CITY also known as CITY OF SAILS
 
The place where I currently live in…but don't expect the city here to be like KL…Singapore…Bangkok…Jakarta, that you can go crazy about shopping…hehe...honestly my personal opinion New Zealand is not a shopping heaven but it's nature heaven…Having said that it’s not like there’s nothing to shop here la…haha…Good to buy their local famous products like Manuka Honey, Cosmetic and Beauty Care etc…and for outdoor people Kathmandu and Macpac stuff is super crazy here…
 
Cut it short…if you wonder “Auckland City ada apa?” “ Where should I go?” “What can I do?”...banyak la plak soalan cepu emas kannn….here goes the summary for you ;)
