Christchurch (/ˈkraɪstʃɜːrtʃ/; Māori: Ōtautahi) is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand and the seat of the Canterbury Region. The Christchurch urban area lies on the South Island's east coast, just north of Banks Peninsula. It is home to 381,800 residents, making it New Zealand's third most-populous urban area behind Auckland and Wellington.
The city was named by the Canterbury Association, which settled the surrounding province of Canterbury. The name of Christchurch was agreed on at the first meeting of the association on 27 March 1848. It was suggested by John Robert Godley, who had attended Christ Church, Oxford. Some early writers called the town Christ Church, but it was recorded as Christchurch in the minutes of the management committee of the association. Christchurch became a city by Royal Charter on 31 July 1856, making it officially the oldest established city in New Zealand.
The river that flows through the centre of the city (its banks now largely forming an urban park) was named Avon at the request of the pioneering Deans brothers to commemorate the Scottish Avon, which rises in the Ayrshire hills near what was their grandfathers' farm and flows into the Clyde.

Another year on and things are visibly moving. There is a lot of construction happening with numerous frames going up for the new precincts, and much is due for completion in 2016. The Cathedral is a monument to ineptitude but there are new restaurants and bars appearing all the time as our entrepeneurs bring life back to the central city. A new playground, whilst maybe controversial in cost, is a huge hit over the school holidays and an anchor for the new Avon precint. The Tram is now running it's pre-earthquake-planned extended loop and tying all these projects together. A positive outlook for 2016....?

In this video we take a look around Christchurch both before and after the 2011 Earthquake. We also look at some of the other attractions and experiences available in and around the area, such as; the vintage trams, Ferrymead Heritage Park, Christchurch International Antarctic Centre, Willowbank Zoo, Christchurch Gondola, Banks Peninsula and Whale Watch Kaikoura. We also experience the desolate magnificence of Aurthur’s Pass as we view the awesome scenery from both the road and the “TranzAlpine” train.

Singapore Airlines Business Class experience onboard flight SQ298 from Christchurch, New Zealand, to Singapore, on the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. After check-in, I proceeded to the Air New Zealand Koru Lounge for a quick bite before boarding. Onboard, the Business Class seat (upholstered in leather) is spacious and easily converts into a fully-flat bed. The welcome drink of champagne is a nice start. After take-off, lunch is served, followed by a light dinner before landing. Meals served are very well-presented and tantalizing. However, the highlight of the flight is the exceptional service of the cabin crew, who are all smiles and provide a very warm and personal service. Flight time is 10 hours and 30 minutes. It has been a most delightful and pleasurable experience in Business Class wi...
