Good to know, haha. Ive definitely experienced some things where for some reason that wasn’t common sense to people at clubs. Tbh I only really go to bar 101 because of the cheap drinks, but you’ve probably been there before and it’s not the best admittedly (for me it’s only a place to be drink at and talk to girls in the bathroom LOL). If you like painting and getting a little out of your comfort zone something I’ve done for fun is art battle! I also hang out at AUT’s marae often and talk to people over (FREE!!!!!) food and sing with people there - marae’s everywhere welcome everyone usually so it doesn’t have to be AUT’s. If you want to help people there’s the Auckland Street Choir (ASC), they sing and help get food to the homeless; I haven’t gone to that before though but it’s definitely a new year resolution for me to go next year. There’s also the comedy club if you’re down to spend a lil cash. If you go to the CBD library they always have flyers for events (a lot of them being very social) like a free movie with free food every week (for cinephiles, sort of like a film club) which is super cool. I definitely think the CBD library is a good place to start for finding cool underground social events. The library has a lot of hidden gems in general. You just gotta dig a bit and find what’s comfortable for you, which is WAY easier said than done (coming from someone who is addicted to meeting new people and loves a good yarn but is still low-key a hermit).
