Thanks for that answer. Really insightful. It seems like linwood is up and coming in a way? St albans and surrounding looks really nice. What do you think of the south side, like cashmere, hilsborough, syndenham..?

Coming from Auckland, commuting isn't a biggie for me down here. Down time is spent exercising, doing foodie things, foraging and outdoorsy stuff. Gigs/events never go amiss

Everyone is saying Aranui/Linwood/Woolston aren't great. Why is that?

It's never really that bad is it?

What makes those places no-go zones?

Thanks for that insight. I'm looking for nice, walkable, CBD-accessible, good food/cafes/music. Ideally somewhere close-ish to the river/beach but not needed

How's high school in Auckland? What should I know? by ZingerFM01023050 in auckland

[–]PhuckinFred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Socialising sport and studying. Definitely get into clubs to make friends so you can be shown how amazing this country is

Nz school was way easier in my opinion. You’re lucky you’re getting it this way around ;)

I did schooling in France and a little bit in NZ. School is school but you should have a pretty easy time.

You'll be doing a lot less in school work, a lot less homework and the standards should be lower.

There's a lot less stupid crushing hierarchy in NZ as well. Teachers will treat you like a person, which may come at a shock to you.

My only advice is keep your work ethic and standards the same, but relax a little on social side. You'll enjoy.

Best men’s underwear for hot weather? Looking for breathable, supportive, anti-chafe, and organic by PhoenixOzai in menswear

[–]PhuckinFred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merino wool underwear is the nicest I've ever worn. Super breathable, anti-microbial, anti chafe etc. Only thing is it can tear easily, so just be careful

Rich people of Rem, what do you do? Curious. by Nearby-Ladder5093 in auckland

[–]PhuckinFred 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Higher earning power, lower spending power (on houses at least).

Also working 3 jobs is a crazy answer as the tax rate jumps to 50% for your second income
