Kia ora Amelia,
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing another activity! I like how you have created subheadings to share some interesting facts about Christchurch with us. You have done a very good job summarising all the information.
I have actually been to Christchurch myself and I absolutely loved the beautiful views at New Brighton as well as the Sumner beach! Are there any other beautiful beaches where I must make a visit? Please let me know so I can add them on to my bucketlist. Out of the list of places you have mentioned, I would love to visit the Willow bank Wildlife Reserve. I am an animal-lover so it would be an amazing experience to see what they have created to protect the wildlife in the area.
If you had to choose the TOP 3 places to visit in Christchurch, what would it be and why?
I am from a busy city named 'Busan' which is located at the bottom of South Korea. We have a fireworks festival at the end of each year and the scale of it is absolutely breathtaking. As a way of celebrating Christmas and New Years, my family and I used to always go to the beach to enjoy the fireworks.
I love spending my summer holiday sitting on the beach to listen to the sounds of the waves crashing on rocks. What do you like to do during your summer holiday?
I would love to know! :)
Happy blogging,
Susie
