Host family wanted!

Downtown Desk

Downtown Desk Ltd, Japanese education agency looking for a Host family.

Students are:
- Between 18 years and 22 years old
- All female
- All Japanese

Homestay period:
Saturday 16 February 2019 to Monday 18 March 2019 for 4 weeks and 2 nights.

We also have 2 students arriving on 9 Sat for 4 weeks, and some other students in March.

They are all from a very strict women's university and their university does not allow them to stay with any single male aged 16 or over even if the male is a family member.

If the host family has any boy (child, relative or homestay student) aged 15 or under, or female in any age while they are staying, it will be no problem at all unless they are Japanese.

The home must be located in North Shore.

All members of the home must use English as a first language.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
