St Paul’s Cathedral

I went for a cup of coffee in a café on Lower Stuart Street. I had it in mind to drink it while reading a copy of the local daily paper, The Otago Daily Times (New Zealand’s Most Trusted Brand). However, when I arrived at the café, there was a long line stretching out the door.

Confused about what was going on, I joined the line, assuming that it would be moving fairly quickly— I was wrong. It wasn’t moving at all! The holdup appeared to be caused by a man stationed at the counter, refusing to move, engaged in a heated argument with the owner about something on the menu board that hung on the wall above them.

After several minutes, it became clear that the situation was not being resolved anytime soon. Not wanting to be stuck in a long, immovable queue all morning, I decided to spend my time wandering around the nearby St Paul’s Cathedral instead.
