Christchurch: Life Goes On, and Sometimes It's Better

Bamboozle:  Asian fusion at its best
Here we are with Fran and Brian at the brilliantly named Bamboozle restaurant, the one that has had three different locations in the past year because of successive earthquakes.

While enjoying our meal, Fran talked about the concept of  post traumatic growth.  (As a psychologist, she is something of an expert on the topic, and was to speak at an upcoming conference, "Seismics in the City".)

The bright side of trauma?   Those who survive catastrophic events may find that their connections to community, family and friends are greatly enhanced, that their spiritual lives become more meaningful, and that they are empowered, as never before, to embrace change with calm confidence.    What else can go wrong?

Bamboozle seems to have heard the message loud and clear.
