Dunedin, New Zealand

Dunedin is the second largest city in the South Island of New Zealand. Its main street is George Street where it runs for two and a half kilometres north-northeast from the Octagon in the city centre to the foot of Pine Hill. South of the Octagon, Princes Street continues the line of George Street south-southwest for 2km.

Last few days Daren and I went to the town to have a walk. City shops, University of Otago which is the only one university in Dunedin, restaurants and etc are located at the George street.

After that, we walked to the Octagon, the city centre of Dunedin. It is an eight sided plaza bisected by the George Street to the northeast and Princes Street to the southwest. Dunedin's significant buildings and institutions are located there for examples Dunedin Municipal Chambers (Dunedin Town Hall), Civic Centre and Public Library, the Regent Theatre (Dunedin's largest live theatre), Public Art Gallery, and St. Paul's Cathedral. Besides, there are some restaurants and bars. There is also provision for open-air dining. Daren always go to Barakah, one of the cafe bars at the Octagon with friends for high tea.

 Then, Daren brought me to the railway station. The building of the railway station is much more beautiful compared to the one in Malaysia ^^





 

Before we go home, we went to the Happy Coin, a Korean shop to buy some snacks..
