zhenmeiquHow to play Cuba Street in Wellington~ The plan is: shopping! It is easy to find some of the most design gift shops on the Internet, and head straight to Cuba Street! Oh my god, I really went crazy! Although Cuba Street is not the same as the Cuba I went to, the graffiti is very beautiful! Belongs to a small romantic place on the corner. Moreover, there are many shops you can visit, which are not expensive, and some clothing shops are very cheap. I can’t help but buy a lot of them! The graffiti here is quite suitable for taking pictures, the restaurant is average and the price is more expensive. However, there is a small shop on the roadside to buy some things you can take away at will~ I recommend the best shop and aromatherapy shop in the picture~
