Thank you very much for sharing, i left Auckladn at 2000 and just returned last year for 2weeks trip and i dont like the city anymore, 老台灣人很有感Auckland真的變得落沒了，以前90年代熱鬧多了。😊
Did anyone go to the free Alanis Morrissette concert at Aotea Square?....that was in 98. I had just finished my last exam at Uni then ran down to the Square and managed to get right up the front.
I was there ❤️ Still can't believe she performed a free show!!! My fiance and I have tickets to her show in November. PLEASE let the show go ahead! One of my all-time favourite artists ❤️❤️❤️
The Auckland Airport looked way better in the 90's - such a shame where it has gone. People used to travel to go to airport as a destination without even having anyone travelling it was so good. Now it's a hole.
Another thing too is the pier holding the gates was not separated between arrivals and departures until '05 due to 9/11. So passengers arriving and departing at the gates could mingle per say. Notice how much ample space there was in the pier compared to today. The pier separation project pretty much crammed everyone in. Though I don't have a problem with separating arrivals and departures for security and efficiency purposes. They should have built a separate pier or concourse to the airport's northwest solely for International Arrivals.
I am a PR and also a student in Auckland uni, which does not sit far from the intersection between Wellesley and Queen Street in 0:41. I was really expecting some major differences from now when I clicked into this video, but turns out the the buildings, the ASB Bank, the traffic lights, even the white line for crossing stayed the same. I expect this to stay the same for the next 10 years.
Farout queen st looks like theirs hardly any traffic. Today traffic on queen st is around 10 to 13mins to get thru on a good day, bad day 20mins lol Sky tower I'm yet to go up 👌🏽
Wow wish there were other videos of Auckland in the 90’s…this seems to be the only one? Love seeing it. I was only 6 in 1998 but I miss this time of my life. 90’s were a great decade….
Same here, there's not really many about - in fact isn't too much on NZ in the late 90s at all. Such an awesome time of my life, and and awesome era of time to be alive. 1997-2000 period were fantastic years. I was 16/17 in 1998 and still remember that time fondly and extremely vividly. Was the year I left school at 6th form, got my first ever job, and rented a house (back when could afford to alone! lol) I was living in Tauranga at the time and used to go to Auckland a lot..... Man 24 years ago....really doesn't seem that long ago, but in other ways it does.
First visited Auckland in 1998 coming up to see my Dad, coming from Stratford it was so new and big. Was 24 years ago but really does not seem that long ago at all, can still remember going into Real Groovy for the first time
98 was one of if not the last of the good years imo. Then the internet became widely used, smartphones happened, social media happened, terrorism happened, music became atrocious and people became self absorbed wankers who are so desperate to advertise their lives to the world on a daily basis... People were much more real and not so materialistic back then, especially New Zealanders. Miss that time.
Totally agree mate, Auckland was just starting to grow up, not flooded with immigrants, skytower was built, house prices still affordable. I could tell even back then it would rapidly change.
@@mickeybowmeister1944 not to mention you could buy a house in Auckland in those days even working on a supermarket wage. The Banks and John Key killed that pretty quickly, bastards
just like i remember it as a kid 😍 used to get a view of the skytower and cbd out of my bedroom window in sunnynook live down in napier now could never go back too busy 😥
The final part shows what the airport gates looked before the pier separation divided it into separate arrivals and departures. They should have built an arrivals pier separately to the airport's northwest. This could have been done during the airport's 1994 to 1998 upgrade.
@@shootboxpodcast They did own it until recently, ever heard of the British Empire?, largest in history. And they have been coming here for over 300 years. So hardly recent arrivals.
3:00 wow!! i’ve got an identical photo from just a few weeks ago! hasn’t changed at all
I was attending Bairds intermediate school in 1998. 7 dollar all day pass on stage coach lol
Who remembers the underage club THE LAB in down town Auckland...what road was it on?

I visited NZ in July 1998.
First time I visit auckland in 2004, six year later than 1998
I was living in Ponsonby in 1998, then to Grey Lynn. Such wonderful carefree times ❤
Awesome video, good memories. Mid city was full on good memories

Auckland wasn't saturated with indians .
So Aotea square has always been a skate park, good to know
The Sky Tower never ages
Yup, still looking great 20+ years later!
@@dallasfrost1996 looks like a giant hypodermic needle.
Wow. The first time I went to Auckland was in July 1998, I was 16. Now I'm 39 and will be 40 next year, geezus.

Peak Auckland, it's been all downhill since then.

Tamaki Makaurau 1990s.

I was seven years old at that time. This was a year before my younger sister was born. Good times.
Amazing

@Mohamed Ali I agree. I was living in Auckland at the time so am more aware of NZ. 90s was so good. Really miss it a lot.
@Mohamed Ali Yeah, there are some positives...but overall negative.

Weaotea!
Back when it was Auckland, now looks downtown Los Angeles or New Delhi

NOW IT IS GHOST TOWN AKLD CITY
It. Looks. The. Same
Omg
They spoke English in Auckland CBD back then???????
Haha
most of those cars are still on the road today ..... poor country low wage
Boy racers out at night. High street nightclubbing
Queen Street looked so much better. Now they have turned it into a s***hole.
Sad that there's so many druggies around now. Queen Street and the city in general is now dirty and doesn't feel safe sadly...
@@haleyrichardson8818 the current mayor and AT have turned this city into a mess.
Looks basically the same, except with shittier cars.
2019 nothing but Asians.
White people are new to this country. Why do you think you own it?
@@shootboxpodcast They did own it until recently, ever heard of the British Empire?, largest in history. And they have been coming here for over 300 years. So hardly recent arrivals.
And South Africans, the sheila in the Sky Tower lift sounded Yarpie!
