I find Christchurch a pleasant and fascinating city and at the same time a stimulating and vibrant city.
People are friendly and welcoming.
The city attracts a large number of tourists from many countries around the globe. It is an important tourist centre and convention venue with fine hotels, shops, restaurants and business facilities. All these are in a place not too large or small by world standards. There is little rush, hustle and bustle, noise and pollution so prevalent in other cities. The environment is clean and green.
