Random Christchurch pics today

[Cujo]

These taken about 10.30am, not many people around which surprised me.

Maybe everyone is on the dole and at home sleeping?

Or at work.
If it's the weekend looks like a good day to stay home in front of the fire.

^ Just joking. All the Kiwi dole bludgers go over to Oz .. higher rate. It was dead as a door nail 20 years ago when I lived there. Doesn't seemed to have picked up.

It's not that bad though.

It's nice place to retire in. Good place to raise young kids.

I lived in Christchurch for 3 years. (about 20 years ago .. the wizard was still alive)

I used to manage the "Strollaway Bar" in the square. Is that still there?

I met a Filipino girl there. Shacked up with her. All the locals used to presume she was Chinese! .. Have they got a bit more "Worldly wise" now?

How are the ducks going?

I don't remember the Strollaway Bar, I'm guessing that it was in the corner by The Press building & along from Warners. Warners is now branded as a Novotel.

People don't seem to be any more worldly wise (or maybe I just know the wrong people). Xenophobia grows quicker than GDP.

Plenty of ducks around the Avon. The unemployed haven't taken to killing them for food yet - at least I haven't

Some years ago two Chinese were arrested for grabbing a swan from western springs in Auckland.

I'll phone tomorrow & post the answer (it's 9.30pm here at the mo). I was guessing maybe closer to $100NZ

do this more often, more random asian chick pics.

Things might have changed since those pics were taken, after this morning's quake.

Might have shaken up the Ole town a bit.

Oh, how I remember that day and the quakes yet to come over the coming months.

A couple of shallow little nudgers this afternoon.
