    Hey Carl,
    I'm a Kiwi whose been living in the States since I was eight years old but thinking of taking a trip back home in six months time. Could point me in the direction of some great coffee shops in the Christchurch area? I wanted to start my research now for prospective employment. Thanks for the help!
