Hamish finished his last exam today, and since Aonghas had his one and only exam the day before and I finished way back on Monday, my mum thought this afternoon would be a good chance for us all to go out together as a family since our dad had a day off work as well.We decided to check out the new Chinatown in East Tamaki, Auckland, as it's a relatively new place and we've never been there before.
We didn't set off till later in the day. We picked Hamish up along the way and very soon we were at CHINATOWN!!
It's not like other Chinatowns overseas, where it's a whole village. This one was more like a large warehouse with a huge grid of small stalls separated by what they called 'streets'. There was a stage and seating area in the centre of the building.
We had a look around, checking out all the stalls. A lot of stalls still weren't occupied, while other stalls were pretty empty. Many of them sold clothes, health products and some sold toys. I did see a stall selling Doraemon and Mashimaro graduation soft toys, which I really want for my graduation (if I do graduate that is!)There was still a bit of construction work going on around the place, so we're guessing the place isn't quite finished yet.
We were going to have dinner somewhere but couldn't find somewhere good and relatively cheap, so we ended up going back to Westcity in Henderson and just ate at the foodcourt before us brothers had to go off to youth group.
