Living in the Garden City


Since it's been a relatively quiet week, we thought we'd share some photos from our regular routine living is Christchurch. We've probably featured Cathedral Square before. It's at the heart of the city and it's always filled with tourists, food stalls, and street performers.

Victoria Square, another nice spot for a break.

When we're not too tired from Ultimate or other activities, we walk in and out of the city. It's only about a 15 minute walk along the Avon River to the suburb of Richmond where we live.


Here's our house, known amongst our friends as "The Castle." We share the right half of it with about 7 other people.

Our bedroom is nice and big. The only drawback is a lack of a closet. We do, however, have a nice desk for blogging.

Thanks to Jen and Maelle, the bathroom is always clean.

The kitchen has plenty of room for Pancake Parties and Tim Tam Slams!

In the TV room, we enjoy all five channels that New Zealand has to offer.

Home sweet home, at least for another 3 weeks.

We are getting ready for a weekend of fun. Tonight we'll be heading to a small pre-St. Patrick's Day party. Tomorrow, we've organized a Scavenger Hunt so we'll be running around the city making fools of ourselves. We'll be posting the results here and you'll be able to vote for your favorite team. There's a six pack on the line so vote early and often!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Bathroom question: I see a tub but no shower head. Is there a separate shower stall?

Chris and Jen said...

that glass door on the left is the shower. we don't all just take bubble baths.

i'm hoping a nice dose of video blogging will hold you over next week. only three more weeks and the entries will pick up once we've sucked sue onto the other side of the blog dimension again.

Still no comment from Chris on the Spitzer scandal. I can't believe it! The people demand answers!

Yea, Chris.. Did you or did you not work at the Emabassador's Club in NYC. Admit it! You saw the axe coming down and decided to leave the country and go to SA. you come back, see the story hasn't hit yet and flee the country again. What's next? Talk to us!

Follow up bathroom questions: is there any sort of spoken/unpspoken bathroom etiquette? Example, if Chris is brushing his teeth and the door is ajar I am a housemate, can I walk in and brush my teeth or if Chris is taking a bubble bath and I have to pee, can I just run in?
How many bathrooms are in the house? I'm a little upset this hasn't been blogged about until now..
