TVONE Neighborhood Show - Part 2

Earlier this year, TVONE's Neighbourhood Show approached Giancarlo & Masha wanting to feature their activities for an episode focusing on K'road and Newton in Auckland. Because of their unique and interesting background (specially Gian), the producers found them the perfect candidates for the show.

This was an opportunity to let New Zealand know how Giancarlo, Masha and Latinissimo all came about... 

The feature was so well received among viewers, staff and producers of the show, they did an additional feature which was released online - Part 2 (video above).
