Damn beautiful place you guys and gals live in...

[Paul in NZ]

Fly into Christchurch - rent a cheapie little rental car and drive in any direction, stay in camping grounds (Top 10 give you a discount card) for cheap accomodation and avoid the tourist traps like the plague.

Thats about it.

We don't publish pictures of the really nice bits otherwise we would not be able to breathe for 'investors'...

re the dope? Don't bother - Its freely availiable here but you will end up dealing with people who see tourists as organic ATM's and you will be exposing yourself to increased risk! Seriously - if you can't do without it for 5 days spend the money on rehab my friend.

Man that thing is cool!

I kid you not friend... We keep it in a good size enclosure and my wife has trained the damn thing to shit in a litterbox at the bottom. The darn thing is also 'regular' to some extent and tends to crap about the same time each day...

Sucks to be us...

She had it running loose in the backyard one day and our 70lb dobie came running up and scared it... I got pissed because the friggin purebred dobie that I paid 'extra' for backed up when a sissy ass little lizard/worm smacked it's tail and hit it's nose...

Why me?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Exactly friend...

Better safe than sorry as far as that is concerned...

My neighborhood is not what it used to be at all.

Thanks for the tip mate...but I've no intention of carrying a firearm.
I believe doing so gives you a false sense of security.....leading you to feel 'safe' going to places you shouldn't. You then end up having to use it.

Rather sift in places I feel are safe.
