A cool small city

by tomatohead - last update: Apr 7, 2004

"Oh I wish I was in Wellington...."

I always think of Wellington as Berkeley, California, without the mental illness.

Wherelse can you see a guy in a suit sharing the pavement with a guy in shorts and no shoes and nobody thinks anything less of either guy?

I love the diversity and comfortable scale of the place.

I love how my stomach gets all messed up from all that caffeine and beer.

I love the proper grans with blue hair who shop on Cuba Street alongside the skatepunks and folks with multiple piercings.

It's nice to stop into Te Papa to have a look.

Radio Active is an awesome radio station.

Pros:"plethora of cafes, bars, and live shows, seems less dodgy than a lot of other urban areas, lots of nice bands"
Cons:"whoa, it's a hard place to fly your kite! Your arms get ripped out of their sockets!"
In A Nutshell:"I'll try to live here in my next lifetime"

 Wellington's got to be the coffee shop captial of the world, and it's such a lively city, even in mid-winter. Yeah, I'd love to live there too, but I'd need to put on 100 pounds of weight or so, or I'll be blown across like tumbleweed.
