I swear there's at least one NZ thread on page 1 of /trv/ everytime I come. One more Aucklander here, born and raised to european immigrant parents. Only city I've ever known and I like it I guess..
>>72068 There's a lot of media hype about crime in South Auckland.. I mean, I wouldn't wanna have to walk around at night, or during the day by myself, but it's not the fucking LA hoods.. There are well publicised violent robberies and shit now and then, but like I said it's just the media being shitstirring leeches.
Some of the more central suburbs are really cool. The North Shore is mostly safe middleclass haven, though it has it's dodgy spots as well (Anyone remember the thugs who smashed a Russian couple in their car - "You ever seen a real gangsta?! - BOOM")
Obviously the best thing going for Auckland is it's surroundings.. West Coast, Hauraki Gulf and it's islands. Nice beaches everywhere, cold water though, but EMPTY compared to beaches I've seen overseas.
CBD sucks in my opinion.. And yes there are crazy numbers of Asian students, it's ridiculous.
