4G/160 Symonds Street Auckland. Pls come visit!!!


Comfortable bedroom. Master bedroom too!



Fully functioning kitchen with all kitchen ware


My front door. The number is 4G

How far? Its been quite a day!

A big bunch of people were at the Auckland International Airport to pick up the latest Fonterra intern and my newest flatmate Mialy. Mialy is from Madagascar and has moved here from Switzerland. I was there as well with Cris, Ina and about 9 other people. Mialy must have felt very welcome indeed.

So welcome Mialy to New Zealand, to Auckland, to 160 Symonds Street! Mialy is sleeping right now as there is an impromptu party scheduled for later this evening in our apartment. Trying to make a playlist for the party now actually...

I have been raving about the apartment so i thought it was time i show what it actally looks like. So some pics of the place all through this post.
Just a quick synopsis again. It came fully furnished and when i say fully furnished, I mean FULLY!!!
Its a 3 bedroom apartment and i will be sharing with Cris and Mialy from Brazil and Madagascar respectively. Beds, sofa, kitchenware, persian rug in the living room, dishwasher, TV and DVD player with surround system. Fully carperted all through and a Persian rug in the living room.


Watching TV in my snazzy new living room

There is airconditioning in the living room and in the Master bedroom (which i have :D). Washing machine, dryer, sheets on the beds, with duvets and blankets bedside lamps in each of the rooms and an extra heater in one of the smaller rooms. The only thing we had to buy was Crockery and pots and pans for the kichen.


Unpacking the shopping. From Left is Cris, Jan and Me

Jan, one of the nicest and prettiest girls i have had the pleasure of meeting and who is in AIESEC was very kind as to drive us to one of the big stores in a neighbouring surburb to do the shopping. She even went so far as to lend us money when we ran out! Thank you Jan!


Loading the shopping into Jan's car

Now I am off to prepare for the party which the AIESEC members have deemed will be hosted by us. Not much preparation though. Buy a few beers. Finish the playlist...

Went on an interesting Store visit to the South Island. Saw milk factory, port operations...but more on this later...

first...do you ever take that scarf off?! Even Jose doesn't wear one that much!!!

second...I don't care how snazzy your apartment is! there is no way your parties beat ours! :P

Aine said...

First of all Jose and I are intimate!

And secondly...AIESEC in Ireland shuts down for that period anyway, otherwise I wouldn't even contemplate going to Venezuela or anywhere else for that matter!

You guys live on Symonds St!

I'd love to come visit the flash apartment! :) The only downside is: I don't really know when... :(

But I'm very happy that you are happy working at Fonterra. :)
