Date: 2007-05-07 to 2007-06-12 (My New Zealand Trip: arriving on 2007-05-07, leaving on 2007-06-12)
Christchurch is New Zealand South Island's largest city with population over than 400K. The name describes itself. There is a big English church in the city center. The church was damaged during 2010 earthquake When I visited there, May 2007, it was their late fall season.The weather was just mild. I still see green everywhere. I visited gardens, Avon river, beaches, city, etc. The people are friendly. The most impressive thing is their toilet. Public toilets are everywhere and they are very clean. It is not like in Europe, you have to pay for it and even in the train station.
The Church was gone after 2010 earthquake.
