Kia ora!
This isn’t the longest issue ever, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t some really cool events happening. Disney characters on the ice? Sounds fun. A clothing swap? Interesting. A moonlight bike ride? Tell me more. Markets and more markets? Count me in. Anyways, I’ll stop waffling and let you get into it.
