20th October - Multicultural

Auckland really is full of contrasts, from taking 20mins to inch 200m to get out of Otahuhu because it had turned into Tonga for the week. Then to East Auckland for the hockey, much more leisurely crowd for this international game, which Canada managed to take away. Then into Central for Diwali and people everywhere eating and dancing. Train ride home where they’d turned it into a ghost town by blocking off all the roads, not even telling the bus driver how to get through.
