An extremely over-priced city where you must be patient, be prepared to pay shite-loads of rent , be prepared to get stuck in traffic. Full of immigrants, commonly; Fijian, Indian, Chinese, Pacific Islander are the main ethnic groups here. Employers here would rather hire foreign skilled workers who struggle with english for cheaper labour rates rather than pay a few dollars more per hour for local tradesman etc... with great english skills. Auckland is pretty much a smaller version of Sydney, Australia. Has some pretty spots and good to visit, will stress you the hell out living and working here.
