they might not be that rich in money, but they rich in culture and community these areas. i realised this after I migrated to NZ from sri lanka. lived in otara for a bit. compared to other parts of auckland, sure the crime rate might be high (i dont think its high now as it used to be) ....but there is unity and resilience in the community..the cultural vibrancy is refreshing, and people who look out for each other and got their neighbour's backs, the volunteering and youth developments and the civic engagement of these support networks and preservation of traditions...is something unique to remember and be positive about. thanks for showing the good side of Otara..which is like 95% of it
Nailed Brother. Rich in culture is priceless.
Thanks for sharing Kenny, we totally agree! Otara is a special place💛
You just can't escape your fame, even Charlie from Otara knows you are Pie enthusiasts. Marvellous stuff G & M x

Glad you enjoyed it🤗🧡
You said Kia Ora.... youre awesome ❤❤❤the cook island girl is too 💕💕💕

Loved watching you chat with the locals everywhere you go. Great video and some lovely people in Otara. "You're world famous in New Zealand" as the saying goes.
haha wouldn't say famous but we definitely love talking to the locals! Thanks so much for watching, Susan!🤗
This is one of my favourite episodes of your travel in NZ! Thank you for taking us along on your journey! I hope you are going to the Cook Islands but all other Pacific islands are also beautiful! Enjoy your last day in our beautiful Aotearoa and hope to see you back one day! You are such a beautiful couple! God Bless ❤️🙏
Thanks so much for the kind words, this means the world to us!🥰🧡 We went to Fiji and Vanuatu😊
@@GlenAndMado That’s awesome! Both beautiful island nations! Will always be following you two and when you do come back to NZ, we will put up a big feed for you 😁 Take good care 💕🙏
That was me buying all the lamb buns 😂 hope you enjoyed it
Im from Otara, living up north now but this video definitely bought so many memories. love it! thank you's for this, was such a great watch :)
glad we couldn't give you an insight my friend :)
I live in Otara' ,I just can't,stay away,tried heaps of time before, plus,lots of my family and friends lives here🙏💃👌😊
Awesome video. Great inside perspective of what Otara and South Auckland is all about! Safe Travels back home
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you😊
Nice to see you guys visit my hometown. I’ve been here since birth, 26 years, and like you’ve said there are bad people everywhere but personally I’ve never run into any or seen any here. I believe Otara’s bad rep is from pre-Y2K but bad things may of course happen every now and then. I use to walk down here all the time with my primary school and college friends to stop off at the bakeries or library and I never felt unsafe as an Asian passing person. My mum and a lot of family members are white and they’ve never had a bad experience and my mum often goes here weekly for cheaper groceries. Definitely sad you guys couldn’t catch the Saturday market, I have a lot of fond childhood memories of waking up early Saturday morning and walking down to the market with my grandpa to buy fresh produce and food from the stalls, it was always a great vibe and I looked forward to it every week.
Thanks for sharing your story and thanks so much for watching our videos! We're really sad we couldn't make it to the Saturday market!
Awesome vid guys! Love your attitude and love how you don't just do the typical travel vids.
🧡🧡🧡
Thankyou for the adventure you've taken us us on highlighting our beautiful country can't wait to see your next adventure ❤
Thanks so much for watching and hope you stay tuned for the next ones🤗
Aww, dang, after watching you this long, yous decide to visit where I'm from, The Home Of The Brave! Glad yous enjoyed it, hoping all the best for ALL your travels! Much love!
nicely said
Speak correctly yous is not a word.

@@fionamckinnon1167 no shit sherlock 👌😁
Great video loved it especially when u said the void is different thren the mount
Kia pai tō rā!
You have to try the Taro guys, its really nice, but it has to be prepped and cooked by Island people that have been cooking and eating it for all of their lives ... it can be eaten hot or cold as well, plenty of salt and white pepper ... yummm
I've lived in all the areas of south Auckland and otara you meeting the most loving people in these areas i am new zealand maori lived here my whole life thanks for showing me the south island can't wait to travel the whole of south island I've traveled most the north island

@@jocke90s.lindell10 no I was living in mangere at that time
@@KayzKara okey thanks for reply
I hope you are enjoying your last night in NZ. I'm a local and went to school here, even when it was supposed to be really bad in the old days I had no trouble. I have enjoyed all your episodes. Hiere Ra.
Thanks so much for watching our videos and glad you enjoyed it!!🤗 We had such an amazing time here in New Zealand and very sad it's over🙁
Love it!
19:38 Whoa, it's Pigeon Man. He certainly gets around.
The guy doing the voice over. He's also known as the pigeon man from Auckland city , he's always pleasant
FUN FACT: The sheltered area you saw is a fish tale and as you are walking through you'll see the body then right at the end is the head!!
274 Otara....love the suburb
Ive neva had any problem walking through otara..i dnt live in otara but otara is all good..the people are really nice ❤
It was a safe and happy place to settle in to back in the days . So I remember could walk anywhere without hassle. Going to discos movie night at the Otara hall centre. Now it's none of that these days. Now 64 . Now I don't need to visit anymore. Thanks for sharing 😊
Awesome seeing y'all going around to all these lovely places everyone is so friendly.
What's it like here compared to the cook islands " there's more coconuts here than in all the islands put together, thought I was escaping from those eggs.
Use are Awsome for going to explore areas like this. Much respect for use 💪🏽🤙🏾
Thank you, means a lot!😊
I used to live in Auckland, and my visits to the Ōtara market were a highlight. The people were the friendliest, kindest folks you could imagine. Well done for going and talking to the local people, very cool video.
Dang- I want to go for the steamed lamb buns
35:45 so true, love your guys work ❤️
But are there any pies in Otara? And I am going to miss you two showing us around NZ - have to watch you in other countries too to see what you are up to🌏
We didn't come across any, but I'm sure there are some! Thanks for watching and hope you stay tuned for the next adventures🤗😍
What a wonderful way to end your NZ hikoi (walk) amongst the salt of the earth community of Otara. Kia pai to haerenga (journey). Safe travels!
That's true! Thanks so much🤗
Ōtara is a beautiful place, Polynesian people by nature are very friendly. You can walk around all day and nobody will harm or attack you. You experienced that yourself. NZ perceived worst area is paradise compared to other cities in the world. I do hope that both of you are well, where ever you are now. Lovely couple, you even said Kia Ora.
That's true, we met so many beautiful people!😊We are currently back in Europe with our families
Exactly.not dangerous at all and full of coconuts coz there island poor too haha
Otara or any district in New Zealand is not belong to a certain race .
Coloured people in this country call most white people racists when they behaving in and out of political ask for coloured ppl only is racist .
NZ is all races not just islanders !
Auckland is a European name RECOGNISE! 😊
I have always loved the Irish and to have you both promote Otara, and what our people are actually doing in comparison to the story and narrative our government wants people to believe is a wonderful and humbling kindness we so desperately seek. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.
May the lord bless the path before you both and keep you safe for all your journeys 🙏❤❤❤
Otara use to be bad but pretty mellow these days.
Thanks for coming through 🙏🏽
Glen you and Mado are my best friend i really enjoyed your Videos keep up the good work it will pay off 👍.
Thank you!!🥰🥰
I arrived in Otara on November 1986.
Today I still live in Otara and the safest area to live. Most of my Family lives in Otara, the best city in all New Zealand 🇳🇿
I think the Irish and the Maori have an unwritten understanding - similar cultures that have been oppressed by the Crown in days gone by
Agree, we totally feel some similarities!
Can you guys come to The Clevedon farmers market please?🙏
That market looks amazing! Would have loved to come but unfortunately we already left the country🙁
Otara born and bred, during my early teen years I worked in the gardens at Korkiri Te Rahuitanga Ki Otara back in the 80's ❤
Best Saturday markets ever! Roxy's and Yogi's video games arcades! OMAC!
34:26 the store behind you used to be a toy shop / bike & skateboard shop and there also used to be a brick constructed public toilets where the trees are now back in the 80's.
Always respect Scottish and Irish people. From the struggle to. I hope you guys had a blast in SA. I believe that little uso that he makes the kele pua’a 😂
Hi thank you for sharing, I’m a kiwi but now I live in Sydney. Uses are awesome Kia Ora ❤❤

That makes This video that much more special now.
🌺Thank You GLEN&MADO🌺
Safe & Happy Travels 🌺🌺🌺🌺
Aww thanks for sharing this story! We glad you enjoyed this video!❤
Lovely place with lovely people, much love 💗
Niall was here in Auckland in April. Was wondering why the sun was shining in July
Otara is lovely if you mind your business like any other suburb, it has one of the most popular weekly markets in Aotearoa which attracts people from all over Auckland and the locals are down to earth and will help you if you need a hand. I feel more threatened in Ponsonby with all the stuck up snobs everywhere and there was a shooting death in Ponsonby's main street recently
Go to mitimiti. Beautiful place where my people are from. It's in the north of new Zealand
I might go to the flea market this week to buy rewena bread i haven't had for ages.
I'm from the South Island of NZ and visited the Otara markets 25 years ago. I got more than a few sideways glances from the locals lol probably more due to the fact that I was sporting a mohawk and wearing steel cap Doc Martens boots. First interaction I had was with a guy trying to sell me drugs 🤣 Loved it though. I managed to pick up a few bargins then tucked into some delicious island cuisine - Chop Sui, Taro and Palusami 👌 So good!
Wow that’s some special memories you had in Otara, it’s definitely an incredible place full of great people! We already miss it a lot, and don’t get me started about the food! Your totally right with that 😋😋
Greeting from Manuwera in South Auckland
This has to be my ultimate favourite episode 💯🙌 Thank you for visiting the ❤ of South Auckland 🙏🫂😭 Love you both & wish you the bestest travelling for the future🔮 CHUR TO THE MF CHUR🤙🍻
Aww thanks so much for your feedback, means the world to us! We hope you stay tuned for the next adventures🤗🧡
Otara is my hometown and is sad to see videos like such stating it's a dangerous place!! It's not, it's just like any other place!! But I hope you's enjoyed your Experience here in OTARA ✌️
Otara is a great place and holds alot of culture. Its the very few gangs that make it feel as though it is dangerous due to the types of crime they commit. It's really a minority group, however. It's ironic that you can hear a Police helicopter chase around when he speaks to the guy basking. 😅 Hope yous enjoyed NZ in general. Its a mixed bag of cookies. 😁
Irish drinking coffee and German drinking tea 👍🏼
That's it😅
Bro can't believe he got that amount of panikeke (pancakes) for a dollar 🥞👀) lolz..
Man, I was going to comment you should've stopped in at Evelinas if you just walked past it, but you actually went in.. Nice island food there.. 🏝
I wish they had one around Mt. Albert/New Lynn/Avondale.
New Zealand has many beautiful people, travel well. Keep safe ❤️
This sounds silly but NZ hood is different from hood you find in other places. In NZ I reckon just be fun and great, they happy with you as well aye
I really enjoyed this episode but was just a little sad because no SHEEPS 😀🔥😂🙏
Hahaha very funny 😂😂
There are too many gangs. Shops don't even dare stay open after 9pm.
You definitely don’t go though
@@Matika_awatea fr hahaha shops be open late all the time. Always go to buy lamb buns from that boy hahah. They on!
My guy watched the news too much 😂
24hours in rewa
nice nice
Otara is the heart of South auckland. Anything that comes out of Otara the rest if the south auckland follows.
Kia Ora
Chaz (charlie) best man ever 😂❤
Safe travels home!
thank you😊
omg , the German went to the dangerous place
I live in otara and love it
its when the drinking starts that you wouldnt want to be around..
Like anywhere.
I lived in otara when i was a young falla. All us kids were fkn eggs man 😂 fighting at the free pools for no reason. Playing spotlight in the middle of the night using the whole street. Fights at school. Takes me back lol
I knew this place was dangerous to start with. ive only been to Otara like 4 times
Lol, the next time the Irish win the Rugby world cup will be the first time ... they need to get past the quarter finals before that can happen as well, as the quarters has been their swansong so far in the history of the RWC.
Home of the brave and love...
When you heading down south?
Hey guys next time yous are in otara come to my place I'll make us an omelette for lunch or something
One thing Glen & Mado... Dont get Samoan & Tongan mixed up. Its like Kiwi vs Aussie 🤣
Good to know😅
Nz is beautiful just becarful at night
Omg I miss home 😪
I’m from nz but live in Melbourne would love to meet you both
We are heading to Sydney soon!🤗
I come from there's not dangerous in the daytime sometimes at night for you maybe camera nosey people go there at night ,Everyone knows everyone more or less ask yourself why dovyou 2 care like they say poverty is not all about it in Otara they have strong clubs League ,Music etc need to stay a week and you'll see 1st hand I think our people are authentic and cultured ❤ funny and happy
Like a naughty kid, we are misunderstood.
Ppl in Otara living to change the narrative that exists.
Don't get me wrong, still gotta tread respectfully. But it's a very community oriented community
AAOOO FREE YOU MYKING KAZITO love the content mybrother
Those eggs are rip off to us. Use to be $7 per tray.
❤❤❤
Good job guys :) Well done for going to see it for yourself. Most NZ'ers are pretty died in the wool on race issues so they will be not a chance of shifting opinions etc but I'm sure the locals there were super chuffed to be given a chance.
It’s not a misconception you just haven’t seen what really goes down lol that area is run by gangs , if you don’t involve yourself and keep to yourself , you won’t have any trouble.
Born and Raised in Otara (Otarian's) that's us. "The Walk on the Wild Side" So they say from back in the day....Ahhhh Yesss the good ole day's, the swimming pools,the flea market, playing in the creek, bumming across the pipes, running away from the Olds, the drunks, the stoners, the Tribesmen, the killer beez, Bike Life etcetera etcetera all the good stuff yee-ha. The Only dangerous thing in Otara are the "POLICE" have fun guys exploring beautiful Otara Kei te pai Achtung baby Peace Out
Otara use to have nz biggest open air market at its biggest it had over 600 venders, it was epic, the food was off the planet, there was cooked and raw meat sellers, the pork bone were meaty as and big brisket bone in with the fat on wicked all food types from all Pacific Islands like sup sui, sweet coconut buns, taro in cream, fruit and veg stalls, authentic traditional maori hangi, island umu, every type of fresh fish, all types of fresh shell fish kina paua, pipi poopoo crayfish, everything, epic food raffle stalls a$80 meat raffles for 20c a ticket it would feed a family of 8 for the week
All the clothes, weaving flaxes, rotten corn even ahhhhhh yummmmy now the market it shite
Kia pai to ra
🤗🤗
