Christchurch is a gorgeous city with many charming & quaint buildings - many beautifully restored or maintained. Magnificent vegetation & impeccably groomed gardens. It is my fav city in entire NZ. Thankfully, there was no loss of life.
Noteworthy is perhaps the number of significant earthquakes in 2010 around the world. For example, Haiti in January to start with, and then Chile, Mexico, California, Indonesia, NZ... Which country will be next? Planet Earth feeling jittery?!
Thanks odds.
