The largest city in New Zealand,
situated in the north island. Probably the
blindest city in the country to the fact that the rest of the country exists. Aucklanders are very similar to Americans with their one-person SUVs and angry drivers; See
JAFA.

The most populated city in New Zealand, being about 1.5 million. IT is situated at one of the narrowest points on the North Island, and has been host to such events as the America's Cup. Also know as the City of Sails, for its keen interest in
yachting.
Many New Zealanders argue that Auckland should, in fact be the Capital City of New Zealand, for its size, growth, infrastructure and sights. It also boasts some of the best golf courses in New Zealand, such as
Formosa Auckland Country Club, Gulf Harbour,
The Grange...and many many more.
Auckland is home to The Warriors League team, and the Auckland Blues, for Rugby Union.
Example:
Wellington Resident: Damn, I wanna live in Auckland n b a

Auckland Resident(ME): Ima kill me that smacktard who knocked us Jaffas! We rule, and the only reason u

The largest city in New Zealand and the shit hub of the world. The growth of the city far exceeded original
plan s leading to massive
infrastructure failure and problems with the mediocre
sewage system. The city is literally spewing too much shit.

A volcanic town on an Island in the South Pacific populated by tourists, immigrants and foreign students.
Sometimes you will see
moari, locals, or "
pakeha" as they are known. The chief concern of the Aucklander is "getting back to nature" while doing their best to not to get anywhere near it. This involves airconditioning units, expensive sandles, personal
locator beacons and shorts that are possibly a little too long and a little too short. The grandest fashion statement an Aucklander can make is to wear his shirt out.
The scenery is very nice, in an 1963 type way, and since the air is unpolluted, all colours are still as they appear in real life. A town to visit if you like to wait, enjoy electricity blackouts, or if you just want to know what it was like
before you were born. One of the last places on earth where the sun doesn't scare people. Be careful of the sense of humour - all jokes must be first cleared with the Minister for Hilarity. Often it takes up to 6 six weeks for the punchline to be approved.
Example:
Tourist 1: Is this the Bus to Whakawhangawhanga?
16 year old
tourist guide: Ummm
let me check...
Tourist 2: She's been gone an hour.
Tourist 1: Let's ask a passerby.
Southerner: Where have you come from?
Tourist: We flew into Auckland
Southerner: You mean DORKland.
Foreign Student: Yay! Auckrand!
Tourist: Huh?

the town bishop that is usually referred to as 'bishop vegas', the chaviest place in England. you will find many children from ages 10+ drinking, smoking and doing drugs. they get this by
going down south church n getting Ray or den in the shop getting bottles of cheap wine and
cactus jack. most kids have shagged by 11 and probs pregnant by 15. children go down clay banks or
king James river to drink and
shagg behind bushes. the best thing on a Friday Saturday is the police chases down the Main Street jumping over fences and bushes to get away, starting fires and getting arrested at 10. getting kicked out of school for hitting the teachers or getting in fights with ya mates for fuck all. can't go with a decent lad without them wanting a sucky or to finger ye, without them texting other lasses behind ye back and saving their name as yours so you think its just you on their texts. getting messed about is the highlight of living in bishops, I LOVE IT!

West auckland is a shithole. Overfilled with dodgy youth gangs and bums who smoke crack and
synthetics at trainstations and will not hesitate to attack you for wearing the wrong colour. Although there are a few nice areas, there's some to avoid, the ones you should avoid are :
ranui,
avondale, Henderson, and newlynn. In those areas you will most probably have a interaction with a crack head who will defiantly ask you for a dollar or a cigarette

To call this place a shithole is an understatement,
smackheads and chavs are around every corner looking for their
giro they dropped a week ago. Most roadmen that live here are wannabe gangsters that go around in north face jackets and
berghaus fleeces amen ballys thinking that they’re from south London.
Example:
“
Hew mate ever heard of Bishop Auckland”
“Aye
bish Vegas,
heard it’s a right shithole”
