A trip to City Centre this past week resulted in an encounter with the one and only: Mullet Man. There was a big crowd of people surrounding an open space and I had no idea what was going on. I found mullet man in the center on an abnormally tall unicycle working the crowd for some tips. This man was hysterical. I could not stop laughing. He juggles torches, knives, and I believe that's a wrench? The participant from the crowd was asked to take a leaf blower to get his mullet to blow in the wind: business in the front/party in the back.
I just about lost it at this point. I could not stop laughing. After he was done, he got off his unicycle that was around 6 or 7 feet tall. He asked for tips and a surprising amount of people contributed. After that crowd dispersed and the tips were just about done, Mullet Man said: "Okay, now row two can come up". Mullet Man was such an interesting fellow.
After being thoroughly entertained, I managed to find my way to the Canterbury Museum. There was more than enough to see. On display were many tools, equipment, and other items created by Maori. Pounamu is a type of stone that is very valuable in New Zealand. It was often carved into tools, decorations, and weapons. Some of them had been inherited and then donated to the museum. The Maori wood carvings on display were so neat to see. I love design of them.There was an art exhibit there as well. 
In the City Centre, there are box shops everywhere. The area is also referred to as the container mall. Built out of shipping containers, the mall was easy to construct and brought back businesses that had been destroyed in the earthquakes.
