Like me mum told me to do, I'm finding out things I can do while waiting for my job eggs to hatch and finally feed me. Last week when I had gone into Sky City, I had gone to the Visitor Information Centre and taken many, many brochures. Today I decided to go through Jasons Auckland Guide: What's On November07.
SORRY
*Ellerslie International Flower Show: what seems like an amazing flower show, but it's $35 for one day admission. 14-18 November.
*New World Netball World Championships: Since netball is the sport here in NZ, would have liked to go see this, but it already started and I'm too lazy to try to get into the middle of it. 10-17 November. Too lazy to look up the prices ^^#
*Queen of the Whole Universe: A beauty pageant with a difference: drag queens representing 32 countries and 2 planets vie to receive the coveted crown. Sounds interesting, but I refuse to pay money to go to this by myself.
*Parnell Festival of Roses: Would have loved to do this, but it was last weekend TT_TT
HMMM..
*Farmers Santa Parade: Looks amusing, but being by myself and kid-less, I don't know if I will check this out. Especially since there's church at 1:30pm. 25 November.
*Parnell Village: I feel like this is the area where I killed three hours on Friday, but it seems like I missed a lot. There's the Parnell Rose Gardens, St. Stephen's Chapel, Holy Trinity Cathedral, and Old St. Mary's Church. I might go back to go to these places.. maybe.
MOST DEFINITELY YES
*Auckland Art Gallery: Several interesting exhibitions. Three of them end 2 December, so must go there before then.
*Auckland Museum: Will do this TOMORROW. Have several interesting exhibitions going on at the moment ^^
*AUT Graphic Design Exhibition: This show includes work in all areas of communication, graphics, illustration, photography, multimedia and digital design, by students from AUT’s Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Art and Design (Honours). It's only from 15-19 November, so I don't have much time~
*Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter & Underwater World: This place seems amazing. I guess I will have to pay the $29.50 to get in. They're having their Extreme Antarctica exhibition for the next month, so I want to go try to see that.
*New Zealand National Maritime Museum: To do before January 2008 for exhibitions.
*Stoneleigh Sculpture in the Gardens: sculpture exhibition at the Auckland Botanic Gardens. Somewhere I was planning on visiting anyway, so will definitely visit during the exhibition (4Nov-31Jan)
*Stardome Observatory: The Sky Tonight: a journey through the stars, their most popular show, is playing all November. Will try to go see it. $14.
*Touring Prints Exhibition: This exhibition features 150 of the highest scoring prints from the Epson/NZ Iris Professional Photography Awards 2007, including that of the major award winners and the NZ Photographer of the Year 2007, Dean MacKenzie. An outstanding showcase of New Zealand photography. Sounds amazing, yes? It's until 21 Nov.. must go see it before it ends!
Okay, now I'm being overwhelmed by the amount of information in this guide. Too many places!!! This is where I'm going to stop for now. I have left the middle of the guide (pgs24-48) alone.. to be returned to one day. Haha. But wow, this guide is pretty damn useful! It has info about transportation, rental cars, accommodations, restaurants, and more. It has maps.. and coupons! I heart this guide ^^
Does this make you guys want to come visit me in NZ yet? ^^ It's crazy how much stuff there is to do here! All this, and I haven't even gone through half of this guide. The first guide out of many! Did we have this much stuff to do in LA? o.O
