Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival
Dear Neighbours,
Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival is coming!
The 8th full moon of each Chinese lunar year is meaningful for Chinese people. It's a reunion time and a symbol of consummation. During the festival, eating mooncake is one of ceremonies.
This year, 21th of September is the festival day.
At the special time, we'd like to bless for all the people suffering to have a better future.
Mooncakes are on sale!
All are welcome, if you would like to visit one of our stores and give it a try:
123 Willis St, Te Aro, Wellington
3 Hillary Court, Naenae, Lower Hutt
All the best to you all!
Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
