Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival

Naichao from Oriental Pantry

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!

Combining biking with bus travel

Sue from Brooklyn

Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
