New Zealanders pronounce their vowels differently and an i sounds like a u so you get Fush and Chups and Suster Sutties. Christchurch is Adelaide's sister city and the cities have much in common. Christchurch is also on a river and you can have a gondola ride. It's really pretty and like Adelaide there are some nice speciality shops and some excellent eating! There is a big square in the centre of Christchurch and they have stalls there and you can buy locally made handcrafts. I loved it. I didn't love so much nearly being flattened by the tram. As you cross over the road to the square there are tram lines, but it's not so obvious as here , so silly crossed the road and the tram just whooshed past me. I had plenty of adrenaline for my sightseeing. They have lots of internet cafes and the tourist shops are stocked with woollen products and things which are different. The service was excellent and there wasn't that jaded touristy feel of lots of places.
