The Christchurch CBD is depressingly ugly

Nothing really stands out

All the new buildings are mostly glass monstrosities

I wish there was more of this kind of stuff (Hide on St Asaph St)

Cafe Valentino, good pizza here and nice atmosphere, just wish they would remove the TV from the wall, I intensely dislike it when pubs display sports on big screens, it’s boring and distracting

Wilson Parking, absolutely horrible. Big effing money grabbers. Everybody hates them. Just google “Wilson parking sucks”.

I guess the public has been trying to make the fence look a little less depressing

At least there are some murals that are quite cool, no idea who the dude is though

Someone can proudly tell at the dinner table later on that they made the world a better place today…

Seriously, who’d want to live here? I assume it’s some residential building

At least EntX did a decent job of providing some fun

There’s lots to do here, including 10 pin bowling

Not a lot of people yet but it has great potential

And very flattering mirrors

Not that the pier itself is that much better

But the birds enjoy it

Sumner Beach, Jasper seems to be writing something in the sand

Jasper climbing Cave Rock

And enjoying the view

A bit hard to read but it I think it says “Edwin bepankt”

Scarborough Paddling Pool, Scarborough Clock Tower in the back

Taylors Mistake, paragliders in the background, that looks like fun!

Sumner Beach again

Another terrible eyesore: the chalice

And yet another eyesore: the Christchurch Cathedral, still in ruins, still there. But hey, it’s only been 7 years…

Cathedral Junction

New Regent Street

Heritage Christchurch

YAE (Yet Another Eyesore), this is why the CBD is doomed

At the shooting range, time to empty this box

Jasper shooting my CZ 452 American (southpaw)

Jasper hoping he’ll do better than last time with the shotgun

Concentration is key

Hihi

Not bad! Not bad at all!

This is Edwin’s rifle. There are many like it but this one is his. His rifle is his best friend. It is his life.

At BurgerFuel, Spitfire Square. Enjoying a last meal before Jasper leaves again ;-(

At the airport. See you next time dude, thanks for an awesome time!
