Random follow #105 - @AucklandScene

Auckland. It’s the city most of New Zealand loves to hate. Yes, it’s big, the traffic isn't the best, and
the weather is very changeable. But love it or hate it, Auckland is New Zealands largest city and has
a lot to offer the people who live in it and visit it. Megan Singleton is one such person who LOVES
Auckland. She is the brains behind @AucklandScene, the twitter account of the Auckland Scene
website.

@AucklandScene’s twitter bio pretty much sums up everything Auckland Scene is about. It reads:
"We love Auckland and our site has honest-to-goodness bar and restaurant reviews + everything you
want to know about this great kiwi city!"

My favorite part of that bio is the “great kiwi city” part. But then again I was born in Auckland and
have lived here all my life and love it, so maybe I am a little biased.

The @AucklandScene timeline is, as you would expect, filled with tweets that are all things Auckland.
There are Transport/traffic tweets:
"At the GI train station. Did you know there's free all day parking here and $3.40 to get to Brito?"
"Up with the sparrows at breakfast meeting at Mecca. It's drizzly out there Aucks. Watch your
following distance ;)"

Weather tweets:
"Our water tank is now empty. When's the rain coming? #summerconundrum"
"Rain gauge is heaving with 8mls."
"My water tank has enough to keep the tomatoes growing. Happy for it to rain at nighttime only.
Thank you weather people."

Food tweets:
"Wouldn't it be cool if we had food trucks all in one place? How bout it Auckland?!"
"Oh Calcutta is humming tonight with Valentine balloons on the ceiling & 6 chefs in the kitchen. Bring
on my butter chicken!"

And Coffee tweets:
"Apparently an Auckland monopoly board is coming out. Would you buy one? I would if I could drive
a Flat White around the board ;)"

Megan and her team have done a great job of showcasing Auckland and all it has to offer. I
look forward to learning more about what this “Great Kiwi City” has to offer and watching
Auckland Scene, the website, grow and flourish too. You can check out the website here www.aucklandscene.co.nz/. If you live in Auckland @AucklandScene is definitely worth a follow and
if you don’t live in Auckland, well the choice is totally yours, but maybe one day you will visit and if
you do, check out Auckland Scene, it may just tell you what you want to know.

I’m going to leave you now with my favorite tweet from the @AucklandScene timeline:

"Auckland, you're pearler"

I couldn't have said it better myself! Auckland you are definitely that!

(Editors note - thanks to @pammygirl for another stunning post.  I do look forward to one that tells the world all about how good Hamilton is.....   #nevergonnahappen)
