« It turns out that Weta Workshop in Wellington creates costumes, props, decorations, and characters not just for cult films like "The Lord of the Rings," "Hobbit," "Avatar," and many others! 😱 Films such as "Chronicles of Narnia," "District 9," "King Kong," "The Shape of Water," "The Nevers," and more!

You can enjoy experiences in the masterclass and see how these masterpieces were created, which is fascinating! This costs around $15 USD now. There's also a free mini-museum that we visited. Not far from there is the home of Peter Jackson. Imagine this—just down the road from the @mediadesignschool, there could be a studio dedicated to this cult! 💖 Especially great, considering the school's long-standing connections with Weta! 👌 »

« The aquacenter in Porirua is simply awesome! There are even a couple of slides and a wave pool! During the kids' activities, they have all kinds of fun things like inflatable slides and so on. My little one is absolutely thrilled! Prices are quite reasonable: $2.20 for kids, $1.30 for accompanying adults, and $6 for adults. Plus, you can enjoy unlimited time while you're there! You can even bring your own food and drinks! Overall, New Zealand can be pricey, but there are definitely some things that are cheaper and easier to access than in many other places. 😊 »

« What kind of photo to post to write about a massage?:-) As someone who has spent 2.5 years in Thailand, I’ve become used to regular, affordable massages, and I really miss this part of life! In Wellington, a massage costs around 45 NZD/hour. Today, I found a deal for 25 NZD (during a promo) and it was definitely not in a fancy salon, but the quality was on par with more expensive options back in Thailand!:-) For those living in Thailand!:-) If you haven't treated yourself to a massage for a while, consider indulging yourself and give it a try!:-)) »
