This is a crazy city. Everyday you'll be listening to the noises of trucks, police sirens, ambulance, loud exhausts, air horns instead of your own mp3. Sometimes there are road blocks and some times there are shotguns
This occurs when you live in the inner city, where SH1 is just staring at you outside your balcony.
But on the plus side: it's seriously convenient if you wanna go to the Sky City, have a drink or two at the Viaduct, shopping at Queen Street, coffee in Ponsonby, or even looking up cheap stuff at the Victoria Park Market.
Not that this is a plus but you'll feel closer and know more about what's happened when you watch Police Ten7 on tv...
There's more to it than just living in the inner city. It's a sort of closeness without knowing anyone in person. If you have been living here for a few months, unless you really go out to know more people, this city can be considered quite dull.
But where else in this country can you actually enjoy every moment of it and not feeling a tiny bit of loneliness? Christchurch is close but not close enough. There's a lot of give and take in order to build your own dream and you wish it would succeed.

I am hoping for a favourable outcome.
