Some Good Things About Auckland

  • Hills. Like San Francisco, but some of them are old volcanos.
  • Sea vistas, everywhere you go, every way you turn.
  • Shoes optional.
  • Vogel's bread — especially the "long sliced" variety where they slice it lengthwise for double-width sandwiches.
  • They pour a fair pint — none of this one-third head business.
  • Cheap and tasty Korean food, all over the place.
