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.

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.
