Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce its 2021 Term 1 Courses!

We offer the following Introductory language programmes in Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese, Swahili and Urdu, with classes at Introductory and Intermediate levels.

We also teach courses on Religious Diversity: this Term we're offering "Understanding Judaism" in our World Religions series, and we've a course devoted to "Contemporary Beliefs and Practices" that looks at a different topic each session and discusses how the various faith traditions view that topic. Examining religious practice in this way allows us to see the similarities between the various faith traditions rather than the traditional approach which dwells on differences.

We're also offering this Term a new Philosophical Cafe of sorts—a discussion group focused around Life's "Big Questions": What is the meaning of life? Is our universe real? What does it mean to be human? How to live the good life? Is there Truth, and if so, what is it? Does God exist? Explore these questions and others with us in our lounge classroom and be a part of the discussion!

Our other newest course this Term is in our Art & Architecture series, entitled "The Spiritual in Modern Art." This series of eight talks examines how the dimension of the spiritual exhibits itself in the secular art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

OUR TERM 1 COURSES ALL BEGIN THE WEEK OF MON 15 FEB.

What have you been doing to deal with the heat?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Hamilton and Cambridge had highs of 29 degrees C on Wednesday, and some surrounding areas reached the 30s.

Spare a thought for those whose job makes the heat unavoidable. Karāpiro Falcon Industries owner Josh van der Valk and his team are an example - welding in head-to-toe protective gear.
