American here, from Chicago. I’ve visited Palmy on several occasions and have zero complaints. The parks were wonderful, Esplanade and more. Walking the river and more. Exploring the gorge and gorge walk. Plenty of places to dine and eat well. The square and city centre were also great. Went shopping and to the movie theater at The Plaza, as well the food court. Was never board, had great times, made great memories and would definitely visit again.

Born, raised and lived in Palmy until I turned 23. No regrets moving away, but it is refreshing to see my hometown on display from an outsider's perspective.

I moved to the Manawatu from Wellington, have never regretted it, will admit the first time I went to Palmy I was a bit meh, but now I love it, great wee city, heaps of restaurants and cafes, stunning outdoor life - mountains, beaches, bush….all close by and so easy to travel to other regions.

I’ve never understood why Palmy copped so much negativity, it’s a well planned city with everything you could need aside from a beach, but Himitangi Beach is only 30 minutes away. Fish Town (which briefly appeared in this video) used to have the best fish and chip shop spring rolls I have ever had, haven’t been back in years though so I’m not sure if they’re still awesome

I love Palmy! Thanks for bringing back some memories. I went to Girls’ High in 1997 as a high school exchange student (I’m from California), and then Massey in 2001. I go back every so often. Amazing how much the Plaza has changed over the years. Good that Cafe Cuba has survived the decades. And all the great cafes on George St. Did you check out the Library? It was my favorite place.

Hey curls a pity you never zapped across to the small town of Fielding, about 15mins away, a lovely little town. But beware they shut shops at 12 noon on a Saturday 😊 I lived there for 6 years, the people are so friendly too. Also you need to go to Gissy (Gisborne) my home town, life on the east coast is sure different, good beaches, yummy fish & chips etc.

Every time I have been in Palmy: rain and *windy*. How windy? I got wind burn just walking around the Square. There are some interesting shops... the thing is, *there is nothing to do there apart from look at shops*. Once you've done that... that's it. Palmy's main purpose was as a university town and as a stop on the main trunk railway. You can still catch a train from there going North or South. One train a day! LOL

I know what you mean about being missing the accents of home. When I returned home from some time in Europe and the UK I just wanted to hear "Yeah. Na". I wasn't disappointed. After getting a cheery "Welcome home" from customs I went to the first cafe for a coffee and it was full of workers all saying "Yeah. Nah." for all they were worth in a good old kiwi way. I felt SO at home!
