City Rail Link opens in Auckland, Hamilton public transport continues disappoint
The City Rail Link (CRL) in Auckland officially opened on Friday, the 11th of September. As a public transport enthusiast, I am absolutely fuming that this occurred when I could not justify going up to Auckland to take a train. The CRL is the biggest makeover to New Zealand’s transport

The saddest of tunes in for the most depressed of times. Whether it’s a beer in the shower, or lying in the fetal position, these songs will definitely make it worse. For wallowing in self pity and writhing in emotional pain. It will not get better listening to this playlist,
