When you come to Auckland as a foreigner，you’ll easily find a traditional pub（酒吧）either in small towns or in big cities. In these pubs many different kinds of drinks such as wine, beer, coke, coffee, and juice are served. You can find out the local culture. However, if you don′ t know the pub culture, you may feel embarrassed or even get into trouble.
Most pubs in Auckland have no waiters, so you have to go to the bar to get your own drinks. Those who don’t know this may wait a very long time before they realize they would have to fetch their own drinks. While you are standing in front of the bar waiting for service, you are able to chat with others who are also waiting for service. The bar counter(柜台)is possibly the only place you can find in Auckland to talk friendly with strangers. But while you are chatting with others or talking about what you want to order, you mustn’t block all the entrance to the bar.
Remember, you’ll never go into the pubs unless you are over 18.
