My winter escape

by knerten - last update: Aug 8, 2004

Why "winter" escape?

I was in Christchurch, New Zealand at the time, with cold and dreary weather and I thought that going north could only improve the situation. Well, it didn't do much in terms of weather, but I fell in love with this city instantly. So alive and vibrant, diverse and muliticultural. And for an Asian food lover, particularly Indonesian food, I found what I was looking for. Too bad I only had a few days here. I'd love to go back.

Cons:"Far from the city to the outlying sights and parks and hikes"
In A Nutshell:"Colourful!"

 Well Jan, I have to admit to indulging un IKEA Swedish meatballs as well in Hamilton, Ontario. No bad in a pinch. Melbourne is sounding pretty good as winter approaches in Buffalo, NY! Thanx ...Tom
