It was estimated about 60,000 people attended Polyfest last week, where 8000 students from 181 cultural groups representing 55 schools performed traditional speech, song and dance.
It’s the first time in several years that the festival has gone ahead without a hitch, following cancellations due to the Christchurch terror attacks in 2019 and the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
For most, it’s not about the win, but the chance to celebrate their culture and embrace their Pasifika heritage.
Manurewa High School’s Sarai Makara-Moreland, 16, was completely out of breath as she stepped off the Cook Islands stage following their high-energy performance.
She said it was a “real privilege” and “a blessing” to get on stage tell the audience: “Hey look, this is my culture. This is where I’m from.”
“The most important thing was we made it up there, and we performed as a team. We are going out, win or lose, as a team.”

Internet is something we need these days for work, study, keeping in touch with loved ones or just to watch a movie! It's another bill to manage right?!
With the cost of living rising, we want to know how much your broadband bill is setting you back each month?
What is Rum Pot? It's the Easiest Way to Preserve Fresh Fruit - see www.eater.com... for more info.

I couldn't find a single Rum Pot on Trademe or FBM, but Rum Pot is VERY popular in Germany (my parents loved putting some on ice cream for desert), and the pot comes with a leaflet about the history (pictured) as well as recipes on how to make proper Rum Pot (buyer's eyes only).
So why not surprise your guests with something they most likely don't know?
It's not mass produced but made by Mayfire Pottery, a small but quite exquisite pottery in Gisborne - judging by this Rum Pot they do excellent work, so that could also be a good investment for the future (please don't break it - it's by far the prettiest rum pot I've seen).
Pickup in Green Bay (we live opposite Green Bay High School) preferred though it is possible to send if buyer pays p&p, or if you are outside Auckland then maybe a friend of yours in Auckland can do the pickup.
As I work from home anyway I'm home pretty much all the time, so just let me know a time you would like to come round.
I have a whole household and shed to clear - so please have a look at my other listings too!

Pickup please in Green Bay (opposite Green Bay High School) - I don’t want to send it for several reasons:
• cost
• danger of damage
• inconvenience of finding a suitable box and packaging material
• environmental considerations (if possible I prefer to sell local)
Though if you are outside Auckland then maybe a friend of yours in Auckland can do the pickup? Just make sure it’s a good friend or he might keep it … ;-)
As I work from home it can be picked up pretty much any time (unless I have a video conference).
Whether you are one of the lucky ones living in an authentic 1920s villa with hardwood floors and want that authentic ambience (and I really hope it gets back to where it should be), or want to smarten up your guest room or a bath room for AirBnB - you need the right accessories.

Well, here is your chance to get a gorgeous wooden towel rack for it - so much more stylish than what you get nowadays..
I didn’t even clean it beyond a slight wipe (I know better than to “clean” items to death) but I can tell you that the pictures don’t really do it justice - you kind of expect Poirot to come round the corner at any moment now …
The measurements are:
78 cm (wide) x 90 cm (high) x 17 cm (deep) / 33 cm (feet) with 5 rungs for hanging towels
