      What part of it is beautiful though? I have been to Vancouver, Sydney and Melbourne on the list and frankly I would not describe any of them as beautiful. They are just cities and things are not beautiful until you are no longer looking at the city itself. Looking towards the sea is beautiful, once you leave the city and get some green space it’s beautiful but unless the city has some really interesting architecture or art it’s just meh. Some parts of Melbourne did have fantastic murals though so that was beautiful for sure. Where the art museum is is also beautiful.

      Auckland is like the best and worst city simultaneously.

      I work in the city, and every day I see the harbour bridge and rangitoto on my bike ride in, and I feel the luckiest person alive. Then I hit nelson street and I want to run of a cliff.

      Auckland is 100 percent shit because of trash planning.
