Quote from: Ngati_Grim;1315740
It's quite easy really. The 'majority' of streets are essentially N/S, E/W with the Port Hills essentially South.
Once you're at the airport it's a short walk to the Square (basically just across Hagley Park) and then all you need is in the suburban shopping centres. The beach is good at this time of year, with the Easterly mostly non-existent and replaced by the beautiful, brooding, warm Nor'Wester which means that everyone is happy and willing to help strangers.

If you're looking for food there is apparently a really good (best in the Universe according to Wikipedia) Ethnic food shop in Hornby Mall.
If you're driving, don't indicate, do change lanes at will and disregard any signs about speed.

gotta love this city <3

everything in Chch is central fairy.

you are about 30 seconds away from the Square/cathedral etv. so very very very very very very central, hell you are on the middle!

so its pretty central?

For some reason, I initally read this as "so its pretty carnal?".





Freud might've had some theories on why.

well Newbery St isn't terribly central but you'll be close-ish to a bus route I think.... is close to our old 'hood, and my friend used to live on that street a few years back

just holler if you need transport/disaster tourism etc :001_tongue:
definitely keen for drinks!!

last thing i bought before the world implodes: Lamb Sausages and Creamy Bacon pasta




its sad, people are buying up big at the supermarket cause of GST increase. its 2.5% increase. its fuck all. if it is an issue, l2rebudget. put that third bag of chips back, you don't need it


only way GST is affecting me is that the super closes at 10 instead of 12 :(

Also, I agree. This GST hike hype is fucking me off. It's a minimal rise and a lot of companies are actually absorbing the extra GST.
