You're not meant to know how to pronounce it.

So the past couple days I spent a little time around Auckland outside of Queen Street and the CBD.
I took the bus around the entire city on Saturday, including down towards the harbor, where there was a yacht sale going on. All told it took me about an hour to meander the city.It was good to get an idea of where everything was, and realize that most parts of the city really aren’t that inaccessible. The good thing about The Link Bus is that it costs $1.60, no matter how many stages you go through.

Today I rode the link to Ponsonby, which is a really nice part of the city just near K road. I walked into an art gallery and was given a recommendation to throw pottery at a place called Auckland Studio Potters in Onehunga, which might be a bit of a commute; but I’ll look into it.
I ran into Western Park , a neat green patch just at the end of K’road and beginning of Ponsonby. I read over some of my politics lecture notes as well as started to look through the course reader for Pacific Studies.
Without much warning it started to rain so I walked further down Ponsonby, under the overhangs of shops and cafes. I ran into a bakery to grab a scone for the bus ride back after avoiding mobs of schoolchildren on their way home.
Lately my life has consisted of making lists of places I want to see, researching travel, and marking spots on maps. Tonight was a lot of fun though, we went to a few happy hours at bars around the city. But tomorrow is my third day of class, and it will be a pretty hectic.
