You know you're from Christchurch when......

You put dirty clothes on the line to wash them in the rain

When you have to fight the cat or dog for a place to cr@p in the garden

When a group of students turn up at your place and leave it in a better condition then when they arrived

Half the children come from broken homes

Your friends and family want you to move back to Invercargill and it sounds like a good idea

When your 3 year old can say "liquefaction" clear as a bell but can't tell you their home address

When you drive on the right side of the road and no one thinks it's wrong

You are happy two Policemen came for a visit

When your bike becomes your best friend

It is normal for a soldier to be stationed at the end of your street

You see armoured vehicles driving down the road

You smell

Every house is a crack house

If you are looking for it - it's on the floor

The earth moves and you are not having sex

You take a plastic bag when you go for a walk even if you don't have a dog

The Mayor is day-glo brighter than a fire engine

Who knows??? At first it was just for a few days after the quake, while the silt got cleared up. So I went with my uncle to clear it up and spent all day shovelling to clear it up. Guess who didn't come and help! Then it was until chemical toilets arrived, which they did. Then it was until power came back on, which it has. Then till water came back on which was the day after power. And now they are just there?

I'm actually in dunedin at the moment, shows how desperate I am. But I'm in an unfinished house, all four of us in one room, sharing the house with another 10 people. It is a small house as well, and old villa. Could be worse I suppose???

Ouch ! In the July holidays we've got our big friends and family holiday at Ruapehu, if you're still living in each others pockets and needing a break you're more than welcome to join us. Can't help with getting you to / from Auckland or gear hire but I can look after everything else.

Well, if you make it back....i have 2 spare beds(for about a month), hot shower and almost drinkable water.Its an older place , close to the central city....but your welcome if you need a break.
Ive cleaned up 99% of the silty stuff , but the room is clean and mud free now, just as long as you dont mind a few cracks in some walls....but its safe.
