There are certainly a few no-go areas after dark, as there is a certain amount of trouble with gangs.
Burglary is defiantly on the increase, in 2003 there were 61,000 cases reported.

Māori tattoos have been practiced for over a thousand years. They are used as a form of identification and rank.
The traditional Māori welcome is called a powhiri, this involves a hongi which is a greeting that involves pressing noses as opposed to a kiss.
