Christchurch is the garden city of NZ - beautiful botanic gardens are the centre point of the city. There's a river - the Avon - which runs through the city and is full of ducks. I love ducks. I hate seagulls. They're just flying rats. Ducks are so cool though. Very laidback. In efforts not to spend money until I secure some work I've been sitting in the park watching the ducks. Someone employ me please.
