Basebackpackers / NZ$23 per person per night
Was located right in the heart of the city, perfect for exploring the city. But my room faced the front of a busy street and it was a bit noisy with young people.

Sanctuary
It has a lady's only space, which was called "Sanctuary". There were bathrooms for women only and I stayed there in ease. As suspected, a room for women only was always messy...!

Samurai Bowl
Was a Japanese restaurant and beef bowl was the most popular dish at the restaurant. I ate beef bowl for dinner for the first time in more than one year, since the Japanese government suspended beef imports from the U.S because of mad cow disease. So the first beef bowl in a while tasted great!

Fishing License
You have to purchase a fishing license when you want to go fishing in New Zealand. A fishing license for 24 hours cost NZ$18. If I'm not able to catch a fish, it must be expensive!
