OMG Auckland is such a beautiful city! Even though it's not the capital as Wellington, the business of this city seems influenced to Auckland dramatically to be the busiest city in New Zealand, even more than the capital. North Island of New Zealand is where this city is located and surrounded by the stunning sea view and nicknamed as a 'City of Sails', lovely, isn't?
My apartment is on 22nd Fl. of Stanford Residence, on Albert steet, which parallel with the Queen street, where it is the business area and shopping plaza area. Seriously, it's the best apartment ever!! I wake up every morning with a panorama sea view, sailing and mountain....OMG....that's stunning! But if you ask me how busy this city is, I can just tell you that...don't compare with Silom Rd. in Bangkok as it's much less!! People here have very simple life styles, working, staying at home, cooking and party with friends at home are the most common activities for typical New Zealander! Mostly they hang out on Friday night such like Bangkokian, otherwise going out for a trip somewhere such as mountains or beaches during weekend and led to Queen St. becomes extremely quiet during the weekend and holidays. I saw most of the shops around the city were closed for example the Anzac Day(national holiday of remembrance World War II) or Queen's birthday(England Queen), it's completely quiet around the town, even the supermarkets were also closed and I was amazed because it will never happen in Bangkok!Many imported brand-name shops around the zone are seemingly less attractive for the tourists, such as Louis Vuiton, Gucci...., than the local brands. I notice that the local people are rarely use them, as much as I see, they are so simple on dressing sophisticated or spending extravagantly on this sort of things, which is actually good! There are many local brands and shops that owned by the local designers,. Clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry are mostly designed by the designers or the owners of the shops and seem quite popular around the Chancery Plaza and the shopping zone nearby along the Queen St.
'Chancery' is one of the most popular shopping and eatery zone, located off high street of Auckland center. It looks completely different from the typical shopping malls or the shopping malls that we've ever seen because the shops are on the blocks along the small streets, simply say it more look like a fashion street, which is included beauty, cuisine, bars, cafes, etc. I was recommended one of the popular pizzarias name 'That's Amore', which the pizza is made originally by an Italian chef, crispy and delicious! I also found one of my favorite coffee shops name 'Chancery Corner Cafe', where I'm inspired to own one like this. A small coffee shop, selling 2 or 3 simple delicious lunch-dishes and some choices of breads and burgers for the reasonable price breakfast and brunch. It's owned and served by a Chinese or Singaporean couple (I'm not sure because they speak Kiwi accent fluently).
Now, my dream is brighten! :-)
