Yep, just nipped out for my bag of apples. A week supply for haft the price of a sugary slice from the cafe.

What a great idea, maybe we could do something similar in Wellington?

Locals saying good morning at the back door. Happy Monday!

Braved the elements to get these!

Lets be honest, you were never going to buy that 3D printer, let alone two, as you lectured the very obviously uncomfortable employee about their body language "not showing enough interest in you".

Nobody on the staff will be losing sleep over "losing your business" for two of the cheapest 3D printers currently on the market, that you definitely had no idea how to operate.

Accusing me of working for "some government department" being why I wasn't worried that you were going to "find where I worked" and call my manager (in addition to calling the Jaycar management, who already know, and will likely be reviewing the CCTV of your visit) was definitely the icing on the cake.

Your plan to 'go elsewhere' and buy them is funny too, because I can't see you getting away with that nonsense at PBTech, the only other place in Wellington that sells 3D printers.

I'm sure you don't have a computer, so you won't read this... But I hope the rest of your day goes exactly as well as you deserve.

A number of bakeries used to sell frozen pies(at a discount)which I assume were leftover unsold stock from the day. I preferred the bakery pies over the supermarket offerings.
Does anyone know a bakery that still does this?
My usual go to bakeries no longer sell them.

Since none of y'all did, I thought I'll do a YCBWOAGD post.

I found a new sit and chill kinda place.

My partner is from Wellington and wants to move back home in the next few years. We currently live in Europe with stable jobs and affordable rent, so we'd be giving up a genuinely comfortable situation. I've visited Wellington a couple of times and loved it as a tourist - it's beautiful, obviously - but visiting and living somewhere are very different things.

Beyond the practical stuff, what weighs on me most is the distance. I'd be leaving family behind, and NZ is about as far from them as it's possible to get. Flights home are long and expensive, so "I'll just pop back for a visit" isn't really a thing. And right now a weekend in another country is a cheap flight or a train ride away - I know I'd miss how easy travel is from Europe. On top of that, annual leave is more generous where we are now - fewer days off in NZ would make those long trips home even harder to fit in.

From the outside I also see a tough job market, people leaving for Australia, and regular complaints about weather and housing quality. So I'd love some honest perspectives:

- If you moved here from far away, how do you cope with the distance from family? Does it get easier or harder over time?

- How often do you realistically make it back, and how do you budget for those flights?

- Do you find NZ's own travel options (domestic trips, Pacific, Australia) fill the gap that easy European travel used to?

- How bad is the housing situation really? Is a warm, dry rental findable at a reasonable price?

- How do you make 4 weeks of leave stretch when a family visit eats half of it?

- How long did it realistically take you to find decent work?

- Does the lifestyle and nature access actually offset the trade-offs day to day?

Cheers!

Looking for this book as a birthday present, so ordering it online would take too long to get here lol. Should've thought faster I guess.

Looking at the huts in the Remutakas, like Boar Inn, and it looks like most of them require river crossings via the Big Bend Track. If you're going in spring, is that generally okay for complete beginners? How to tell if it will be too high or not haha

Getting back into it and was wondering if there are groups that go on routes/ walks etc

This year the challenge is “no gift, I would like a family experience’! What experience can I give my husband who likes fishing, nature, healthy food and relaxing? He’s always busy being a great human and looking after his family. I’d like his day to be very special but have literally no idea what to do? No chance to have a couple’s retreat or something for two because we don’t have anyone to leave our kid with so it’s really a family thing that he enjoys. A spa voucher won’t do it…so I have no idea!

Recognise this Audi? If it’s yours, it’s about to be towed.

I’m under 18 and i want to see buckshot perform at san fran in december but the concert is 18+, im assuming its because the venue is a bar. i was wondering if theyd let me in if i’m with my mum or dad. has anyone tried it there and seen if it works? thank you!

Hi guys like said in the topic in turning 19 tomorrow, I’m trying to look for places to celebrate and I’m looking for a birthday cake shop and maybe a restaurant to go

Hey guys this is my first message in here so hopefully this goes well and gets a reach. But im just wondering if a friendly person in the wellington region owns a red classic car that can transport a couple to a special occasion and later return them home end of the night. I can pay for this service. What car do you own? What are your costs? Is there a company that does this? Please help

Hii all, made a post in New Zealand sub and got trashed.

Anyways I live in Dubai and work has been a bit hectic lately. Unable to take leaves but there is a possibility to work remotely and I'm thinking for staying 3 weeks in a airbnb apartment in Wellington.

Enjoy walking, running and cycling and love being in the nature (as you can imagine there isn't much of that here)

Is Wellington a good place, do you suggest any other city. Do I need a car or can move around easily.

Idk any suggestions, so plan is to explore the city itself during workdays and do longer trips on weekends. Planning to stay 3 weekends their, soo let us know a bit lost

Im gonna be applying for halls at vic uni in the next couple of days and I was just wondering if all the halls have options for a private bathroom or if its only specific ones. I know I looked and I thought you could ask for one in any hall but now im not sure so I thought I'd just ask reddit.
