Welcome to the Christchurch / New Zealand blog. After having read through all the forums and books I could get my hands on, I’ve determined that one of the more fun ways of adjusting to a new culture is to write about it. The idea for this blog is pictures, recipes, short narratives, and whatever else comes to mind.


Thanks, Lauren. You remind me that I should post some info about moving here with links to good sites. You may want to google Julie Ryan and check out her blog. She’s located in Wellington and has been here for eight years.
What a lovely blog! My partner and I are looking to move to Wellington or Auckland in the next month or two. Thank you for such wonderful insight into living in NZ!
Nice photo. Was that from tryouts for the next Planet of the Apes movie?
