groovy records

In Auckland New Zealand there is a shop that has all kinds of collectibles such as peewee herman dolls, bacon flavoured toothpaste, obscure books with titles such as bunny suicide, posters, cds, records, and a little of everything else. It is the kind of place I would have spent hours in as a teenager. Anyone with a love of music or looking for some collectible or something out of the ordinary should take a visit. As I read through the book titles I wondered why I am working for a living instead of coming up with some strange book title. 

On  the way to the basement there are records stuck to the wall. In the basement any record collector would likely spend hours looking through the various records to enhance their collection. 

Shops like this can be worth it as you may find just the very thing you are looking for.

Chinese lantern festival

In Auckland during the Chinese New Year there was the Chinese Lantern Festival (another free event). Any free event can be worth checking out. The area was quite large and easy to get lost in. There were displays of Tai chi, dancing, heaps of food stalls, and a partial martial arts display with weapons. For a free event it was quite incredible. The pictures below are barely a small sample of what I saw. If an event like this comes up in your area I would highly recommend it. As for me you know I am always on the look out for these as it is;
