"Christchurch new Zealand"


          

Lee, just saw a travel special about Christchurch. There was some very interesting stuff there to see. There was a restaurant that serves food in pneumatic tubes like they use at ATMS here. And the tea was blue! The fellow that was talking said they tried to keep things interesting there. They did.
Then on TO other places like The Giants House. Cool.
Anyway it was beautiful.

It's amazing the work that is being done to recover from the earthquakes that devastated the city. The restaurant sounds crazy man.

But then Christchurch has supported a Wizard for 40 odd years and he has now taken on an apprentice.

The English Language is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought though.

Yeah they mentioned the damage the earthquakes did in 2010, I think it was. Real devastation.

Yes it was close to 200 dead the majority in one building that pancaked. The city is still in rebuilding phase.
One major problem was liquifaction. With a high water table and sandy silty soil the ground simply turned to mush and flowed everywhere.
The resilience of the people was amazing the business community rallied and before we knew it the business were back up and running. Many of them in temporary accommodation created from shipping containers and located in areas that used to be parks.

Sounds pretty horrible.
I always hated living in multi level buildings. During tornadoes and earthquakes I will get near a window. I know, crazy, but I'm going through that sucker. May get cut up some but ..
