Resiliency of Christchurch

Catheleen


Totally impressed with the resiliency of Christchurch. They are a city in transition after the devastating earthquake struck over 4 years ago but with the kiwi "can do" spirit they have turned the downtown into a temporary artscape. Colourfully painted shipping containers stacked three high like Tetris pieces fill in for shops and cafes. The city has offered up all walls to graffiti artists until reconstruction is complete some 10+ years from now with the cost of reconstruction in the 30 Billion range. Definitely a cool funky vibe going on. Can't wait to come back in 10 years time.
