This video from Hostelworld, shot in 2011, brings back good memories of my postgraduate life in Auckland. Colm Hanratty shares tips on how to save money in Auckland. Here they are:
1. Use the Citylink Bus to get around the city center for free. However, it is only free with a valid AT card.
2. You can bring your own drinks (i.e wine, beer, soda, etc.) in BYO restaurants.
3. Enjoy the parks in the city center, such as Albert Park and Auckland Domain.
4. Shop at the Victoria Park Market. Although Auckland is not really known for its bargain deals.
5. Check out the free museums, particularly the Auckland Art Gallery and the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
The video is so nostalgic. Especially the clip showing Albert Park--the park I crossed almost everyday during my stay.
