This Week + Next Week in Auckland

Hope you’ve had a great week so far. If you had a look at the subtitle, you already know that the cold’s not stopping the fun. We’ve got a Twilight movie marathon, a UFC watch party, a boot sale, Matariki celebrations, personalized Coke cans, and so much more. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Auckland is really heating up.

Anyways that’s enough waffling from me.

Enjoy this week’s issue 🥯
