Hi Andrew, say hello to your mom.
We found it was cloudy waiting for the moon to come up last night. Trying again tonight.

It's about 10 minutes away from Kaiapoi and you only have to travel down one oad to get there. (Kaiapoi has more gangs, young people and taggers, while rangiora is more calm, but also has quite a lot of young people.)
It's about 30 minutes to the outskirts of Christchurch (Northlands Mall) and just a little longer to the city centre.

Judging from the crime reports in the local paper, it looks as though there is the same, if not more crime in Rangiora than there is in Kaiapoi. Just my 2cents

Is this really true? It's true, there was a large gang scene about 5-10 years ago in Kaiapoi, but not anymore.
