Kai to go


On the corner of the main highway into Kohukohu is this sign on one of the shops saying "Kai to go". Kai is the Maori word for food also meaning to eat, consume, feed or partake so in other words they cook pizza, chips, fried fish etc. This town is one of my favourite little places to visit.

Linking up with Weekend reflections and the Weekend roundup.

What a fine street photo of this corner. The sign is attractive, and thank you for the translation.

Great name for a shop - it just sort of rolls off the tongue really nicely :)

Kai sounds so much like a Japanese word. Kai to go sounds like the town wants to evict the store when I first read the phrase. Now it is all clear after finishing reading your post. What a nice township image!

Hello Amy, All the pictures I see of New Zealand, are so beautiful, just like this one. Reading your profile. you mention you like winter. I live in New Hampshire, USA and we have very cold winters and get a lot of snow. Have a good week. Dawn

Nice picture, Amy. I'll have fish and chips and mushy peas. I think your pick would be my favorite also. Does anyone in N.Z. sell Poboys? They are a Southern US favorite, shrimp or crawfish, sometimes oyster. All battered and fried. Google comes up showing so really yummy ones.

Even the garden outside looks great - that would always make me try there first.

Very quiet, a Ghost Town. No need to stand in a queue waiting for food I guess. 🙃

I must have been there on the way to the Ferry but I can't recall it. My memories of so many places are fading now which makes me feel so sad.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
