Christchurch, New Zealand

Some say that Christchurch is too cold and others say were too far away from the rest of the world here in New Zealand but our country is full of individuality, in its people, creative culture and unique way of life.

My towns individuality stems from its colonial buildings and our ever changing surrounding terrain we have crystal lakes of every colour , dozens of beautiful beaches all along the coastline,ritchly dense forestry, snowy peaked mountains all within an hours drive. We have trams and botanical gardens that you can get lost in ,wildlife that thrives , we have a town crier and our very own wizard that speaks in the town center.

If you heard all this you could be forgiven in imagining a small town in the middle of nowhere , our population is over 400.000 and our town is a city with traffic problems and crime like every where else ...but to me, its a paradise within an Eden.
