While I was on the ice there was another moderate-sized aftershock on the 23rd of December and there was additional damage in the Christchurch area and the coastal area there as well. I did get to experience a 5.2 magnitude aftershock while I was in town. Woke me up in the early morning hours.
Construction and destruction ongoing...
A city of containers. I think containers are one of the great, little-heralded, inventions of the 20th century and if you wanted to ever be extremely bored, I could talk about them for hours. Or just check out
Wikipedia on the intermodal container, and then follow some links from there...
Later in January, Christchurch will host the World Busker Festival, but there were a good number of street performers already in the earthquake-shattered city. This Scottish gentleman was juggling knives.
This gal was a (slightly-) moving angel sculpture.
And a simple duck was amazingly fascinating to someone who had been on the ice for weeks...
