City centre celebrates CHINESE Lunar New Year, with a Pan-Asian flair
We’re joining millions of others round the world to celebrate Lunar New Year between 10 and 25 February 2024. This Pan-Asian tradition will take on a modern edge in Auckland with street parties, pride festivities, panel discussions, restaurant specials, and a karaoke competition!
When the first new moon appears in our skies in 2024, the Lunar New Year will descend on Auckland’s city centre streets, squares and spaces carrying with it the rich colours, sounds, tastes, traditions and beats of Asia.
Auckland Council invites you to celebrate with our Asian communities and businesses who make up a growing part of the cultural fabric and economy of our region.
Some of the highlights;

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).

Device Repairs
I formally operated a small business from home as a device repairer in Nelson
I am looking to start operating here
If you need device repairs, such as mobiles, tablets, laptops and other devices. Feel free to contact me for a price
Also if you have old devices you want to keep out of the landfill and are happy for me to refurbish and on-sell let me know. As I do like to keep broken devices which I can repair available for others to purchase at an affordable price. As I think this promotes sustainably in this throw away culture
