Coromandel’s Collaborative Magazine

Author: Coromind Team

Coromind Editorial – Issue 18, 2024

Kia ora. Mānawatia a Matariki!What makes the Hauraki-Coromandel region so special? At this time of year, it is common to hear, “It’s time to slow down and rest to prepare for the busy season.” I understand that; many of us work hard over summer, and now is a great opportunity to get out there and enjoy ourselves. If you are hitting the road, heading down south for a well-deserved break, or going overseas, have fun. And don’t forget to pack me, your favourite community magazine, in your baggage!

Ross’ Ramblings – Japan Revisited – Part 2

I have just returned from Japan after visiting my partner’s family. On arrival at Narita Airport at 9pm, we were met by Hiroshi, my partner’s brother, who said “We go to onsen (Japanese hot baths).” After flying for 12 hours, this was indeed a welcome treat and we basked in 40 degree pools of different depths, some shallow with stone pillows to gaze up at the planes taking off every few minutes from the airport a kilometre away, and some with pummelling jets of water that massaged away the aches from 12 cramped hours on Fiji Airlines.
