Day 5: Auckland: Silo Park

I spent the morning at the library again. I did the same routine: applied to jobs looked up things to do. I decided to move on to Wellington for the next day. Instead of booking the bus I went with the suggestion of my moms contact here to book the train. It was significantly more expensive... so it better be worth it.
At night I went out with my new bff from Rangiora, New Zealand. We went to check out Silo park. Which I happen to pass by the day before...
There were food trucks set up and at 9 they played "this is spinal tap" onto the silo (go watch it, its hilarious). We had some pizza and a lot of dessert. I also had to try a few New Zealand beers. Unfortunately it drizzled a bit and it was a bit chilly but we toughed it out to finish the movie.
Some New Zealand terms I learned from my new best friend:
- Ute = (short for utility) pick-up truck
- Op Shop = (short for Opportunity) thrift shop
- Wop = (short for the wop-wops) in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere
- Sweet as = sweet/awesome
Great way to finish of the week in Auckland.
