Christchurch is definitely clean. Kodak moments every where you look or take pictures. Akaroa is a paradise , I can stay there all my life. Would definitely go back very soon. Even though is kinda expensive to fly from LA, but worth every penny:)

This city has everything. Fantastic weather, great beaches, cafes, galleries...
Access to the mountains for skiing in winter. I don't know what the person from England was going on about. Quality of life in the UK can't compare to NZ. I don't remember feeling unsafe at any point in our one month trip to NZ. Living in the UK, ...

They have a commons area where people picnic or buy a kebab while they listen to ...
