My New Zealand Jobs

Christchurch

Christ Church Cathedral lies at the heart of Christchurch, an ode to the religion of the English settlers in this region. The church itself is quite the tourist stop nowadays, and includes a gift shop and cafe. Christchurch is the city of gardens, with a 30 hectare garden in the middle of town. In the summer, I hear it is quite beautiful. New Zealand’s 2nd largest city is flat, with the alps far in the background if you are in the suburbs. Central city is nice, with a lot of cool coffeeshops and souvenir shops. I spent time at the Canterbury Museum and the Art Museum, both of which are free and quite informative. This is the gateway to Anarctica, and the exhibit at Canterbury is very cool (yes, that is a pun). There is also an Antartica center near the airport, which I don’t plan to go to, but it’s the home of the Antarctica program here. Spent time today with a friend here, which is good, to see a familiar face. Tomorrow I fly off, three times to be exact. It’ll be a long day, my journey will finally come to an end. It will be good to see my brother at the airport. Kia Ora my friends!
