Did you have your map up the right way?!!

I have no idea why there is the negativity to Auckland from the rest of NZ - especially as said, one quarter of the population live here. Could it be jealousy that we have it all - including better weather than certain other places...! And as you admitted, while declaring you would never live here, you are quite happy to pop up the motorway to indulge in all of the good things we enjoy and which you can't get where you are!!! Don't see many Aucklanders making the reverse trip!
