Christchurch

I only spent a couple of days in Christchurch. It was cold and gloomy during that time, so I unfortunately didn't go to the park, which is considered one of the highlights of the city. Christchurch is okay, I've been charmed more by other cities in New Zealand. Here are some pictures of interesting buildings. I did enjoy the architecture, though not so much the layout of the city.

Along the river; this was my favorite part of the city

Homegrown rock music

Bic Runga

Bic Runga might not be a name you recognize, but this song is quite famous. I definitely heard it before coming to New Zealand. She is half Chinese half Maori. It's a cute pop song.

Street Art

Over the past year here, I've come across some pretty good street art, or graffiti, as some of you call it. Here are some of my favorites!
