6.10.09 Christchurch


We stopped in Christchurch for a few days to check it out as a possible place to stay for a longer with jobs.

The Art Gallery had some interesting exhibitions on so in the evening we decided to go to a free talk / demonstration about sound art. I'm glad we didn't pay to listen to a helicopter landing for about 45mins - what a load of rubbish, cant believe we sat through it for that long... I'd like to say I felt bad about leaving halfway through but in the interest of health and safety and my ears it had to be done! We checked out the arts centre market in the oxford college style quadrangle and indulged in the fab food stalls and waited half an hour for some awesome souvlaki. We sat by the Avon and watched boats punting up and down - Christchurch is a lovely place but also a strange idealised state of English cities!
