Reality Busters
Behind the scenes
Missing the old Christchurch? Feeling just a teeny bit apprehensive about the new?
You can stop those worries - time to shake those awful post-quake blues. Take a leisurely, nostalgic drive around Google town - all your old favourites are still there.
(If you've never tried this, just drag the little man at top left down to where you'd like to be. And wait.)
Remember Tuam Street?

Add a bit of time travel too, if you like... Enough of those sad 'before and after' tricks - why not try 'before and previously' instead? It's way more fun.
