It was recently the lunar new year … the Year of the Snake. This is a very special time for people with an Asian background. According to the 2023 census, 31.3% of people in Auckland said they were of Asian ethnicity. And among people who live in the centre of Auckland, 50.4% also said the same. Big numbers!
One way to mark the occasion in Auckland is this three-metre tall lucky cat or maneki-neko in Aotea Square. Here’s hoping it’s a very lucky year for one and all.
Now Hear this.
