Howdy! I used to live there, in Christchurch. I was enrolled in Medbury Elementary School if that tells you how old I was. Beautiful country, I miss it a lot.
As I remember, there was one TV channel available, in black and white. And all meat tasted of sheep fat that it was cooked in. I hope things have changed?
TV channel have gone we have move on with i think 5 or 7 free to air channel plus sky of course . but as for the meat we like it cooked in fat.
