Why you’ll love Auckland
Super friendly people, a modern city, great green areas close to the city and a great hub to start explore the rest of the country. Auckland is amazing.
My best omakase experience in Auckland
The Japanese habit of omakase (お任せ) when you’re ordering at a restaurant pretty much means, “I’ll leave it up to you”, inviting the chef to be innovative and surprising in the selection of dishes. I try to do it in every city I visit, and apply the idea behind to everything between how I pick my runs, how I pick my food, how I plan activities with my kids, how I explore cities and how I travel in general. So, I tried this in Auckland as well.
My best omakase experience in Auckland was when I got a speed course in haka by the team of Maori Television. In less than an hour they prepared me to do a full haka in front of an audience in a bar in Auckland. Something to never forget.
