New Zealand. What a back water shit hole.

Well, for example - on my Commute, I get lovely Sea Views, nice green fields - even the oxygenation lake looks nice.

Better than a slog on the M25 to London, or LA's concrete Jungle.

If I wanted, I could take the ferry to work and my commute would consist of watching Dolphins frolic in the Seas.

Granted, I've not been to every single metropolised area in the world - but for me - Auckland isn't too bad.

You should visit LA. Not what you're assuming at all.
Still my all time favourite destination to date.

LA is like a (very) big Auckland.

Not my expierence at all. I only go to Auckland when I need to. Rainbows End VS Disneyland, Huntington Beach VS Takapuna beach, Shortland St VS Hollywood Boulevard. and the food choices! etc etc.

I loved Disneyland...well I was 6 at the time.

The one outside Paris is good too.

Shucks...I never knew Shortland St was where you non Aucklanders visited.

To be fair - I did visit LA many years ago - and the Touristy side of things was great - but I also remember the Freeways being rather depressing.

That said, I do want to go back.

South of LA PCH is a great ride or drive.

It's the movie making heart of Auckland isn't it?

Not quite...

The road down Oregon's coast is better than the PCH, not that the PCH isn't certainly one of the great drives/rides...

And best of all!

It's out west... the cultural centre of the country...

Done both, both are great.

To be fair, the worst days commuting in Auckland still have a much better ambience compared to most other places in the world.

Taupo has one set of traffic lights and lake with snow capped mountain views from virtually every angle.

You can keep your Auckland 'ambience'.

And currently it's warmer than Taupo inside my fridge.

Sounds like time for a new fridge...

and on a sunny day there is about 10 million cunts blocking all those roads and you can't do more than 10kph
