rank the top 4 nz cities

what do youse think of Auckland, Chchch, Dunedin and Windy? well, i've actually only been to two so here's how i would rank them...

1. Christchurch (because of all the nice parks and reserves)
2. Wellington (sick of the city already, but the central library and civic area is nice)

Forums: The Bar,

I don't mean to be rude, but I'm starting to think your login is an elaborate joke.

CHRISTCHURCH??????

don't you like it there? well, i like it more than Wellington. but my favourite place in NZ is Nelson

I like Christchurch, but it is just so conservative. Anyone know what I am talking about?
Dunedin is cool if your a student, but the place has no style (oh get over it nick!),
I find Auckland really boring - though Vulcan Lane makes up for it. If I could live in Vulcan Lane and work there and my wife was willing to move then that would be the place for me.
I like Wellington best.

so

1. Wellington
2. Christchurch
3. Dunedin

Christchurch is real pretty and all, but the people are barking mad

Don't make me pffffffft you too Heather.... cuz I'll do it. So help me God I'll do it...

//but the people are barking mad

There's definitely something weird about the Chch. Most people there are as normal as anywhere else but quite a few have this odd sense of superiorty over the rest of the people and can't understand why nobody gives a shit what school they went to.

//quite a few have this odd sense of superiorty over the rest of the people and can't understand why nobody gives a shit what school they went to.

Dude. With you. The Fendalton, Equestrian & Pearls superiority set is sickening.

Quite a few peeps from Chch I like, but then I find out that most, if not all of them are the ones that don't actually really like their home town or at least 80% of its population.

Mine: 1. Pakawau
2. Mahia - tho I stayed in the campground which is now a subdivision
3. Wellington
4. Nelson

//can't understand why nobody gives a shit what school they went to.

I remember one trip and everyone I met talked about the weather. Seriously, not just "nice day today", I got (very one-sided) earnest and detailed discussions about the easterlies and all that. It's like they were all employed as PR for the met service. Oh, except for the skinheads that hurled abuse at us, but I think they were less concerned with the weather, and more concerned about the sudden influx of redheads in their fair city that my (then-)husband represented.

Quite an original selection there, Heath.

1. Wellington (Damn good vibe)
2. Christchurch (Nice place to be, flat)
3. Dunedin (?)
4. Auckland, which is last because its one giant sprawling steaming turd of death and boredom, full of rabid scenesters (that throw bottles) and concrete spagetti

1. Wellington
2. Melbourne
3. Auckland
4. London

We're a country of expats

Word

1. Wellington (best music scene, best people (overall), challenging and exciting environment)
2. Gisborne (best beaches and warmest weather without the tourists or hippies)
3. Auckland (has cool american and asian stuff that you can't get anywhere else)
4. Dunedin (sort of a wetter, colder, smaller Wellington)

Kerikeri
St Bathans
Wellington
Kaikoura

Napier
Westport
Twizel
New Plymouth

I was gonna put Twizel in there too but St Bathans won out.

Thing about Auckland is that it's a vast steaming shitty cesspool of traffic, noise and dirty footpaths for about six months. Once you have a cool flat and a few friends, and you're used to people saying they'll meet you at a gig and then sometimes not showing up, then it's awesome.

AND I've said it before, all the "scenesters" I've met are real friendly. Like WAY more friendly than any of the people I've encountered that complain about scenesters. People that complain about scenesters are way more cliquey because they spend all their time at gigs (or arty functions to which they got a free ticket, and they've made it clear the only reason they bothered to show up at all was for the free booze) milling around together slagging off scenesters.

I've found it's much easier to score in Auckland than in Wellington too. But that might just be me.

scenesters (in whatever guise) are just a generic punching bag for when cool kids need something to complain about without offending their friends...they don't need to know them personally or even know anything about them, as long as they can vent their spleen about a common enemy.

Same way holden drivers whinge about ford drivers, Kiwi's whinge about Aussies (although some of those fucking rednecks deserve it at the moment) and Oceania is always at war with Eurasia (or whatever it was?)

ultimately nobody gives a shit...

score what joanna?
weed? smack?

//score what

Pooontang...?

Yes.

does poontang relate to girls bits?

//"bits"

Juvenile. :P

I think poontang is like "booty call" - unisex... or anysex... or something.

well i'm feeling quite Juvenile today. Is it like an Ali G thing cos in that case i'm pretty sure that pertains to females.

Punani was the Ali G thing... poontang is much more generic, in my understanding.

"I can't wait till shore leave to get some fuking poontang" - Mr. Garrison

Mr Garrison is gay... so...

These online dictionarys are so dirty.....

poontang
Function: noun
Inflected Forms: plural - poontang; abbreviated - poon
Alternate Spellings: puntang
Etymology: Filipino (Ilokano dialect) putang (whore, f**k)
1: female genitalia
2: sexual intercourse
1: Her poontang was the warmest and silkiest I had ever fu***d.
2: I need to get some poontang while I'm down there in Cancun.

Thats the same dictionary I consulted... but I decided not to share the more vulgar descriptions.

Good work, though :)

Lets just say we're both right - or that it really doesn't matter whatsoever... Joanna doesn't do drugs.

//Joanna doesn't do drugs.

That's true. Sigh. I miss not being crazy-in-the-head.

yeah i miss it too... bring me a good old fashioned bag o whizz though and i'll gobble it up...
vulgar- i'm making up for my prudish 'bits' reference yesterday.

Dunedin
Wellington
Christchurch
Auckland

I've found that Sumner/Lyttleton and Devonport/Waiheke put in a fighting effort, as long as you forget about the rest of their affiliated cities. There may be other worthy areas of Auckland, but frankly, I'm not that interested in looking for them.

1. Probably somewhere where I haven't been.
2. Probably somewhere where I haven't been in a while.
3. Probably somewhere where I already live.
4. Probably somewhere that doesn't exist.

1. Gisbourne
2. Nelson
3. Wellington
4. I've always liked driving into/through Taupo, but never lived there...
