FUN WITH ENGLISH

Thanx, Oscar!
This is a nice video he found on the internet. It's really hilarious...
See how confused one can get with such words: 'who', 'rice', 'yes, sir'... Have fun!!!

HAKA - A CULTURAL ICON

Haka is a traditional Maori dance.
In the past, it was ignored and sworn at by colonials, who considered it dirty.
But nothing could stop its cultural and symbolic rise: It declined under colonisation, but rose again during a cultural renaissance.
Haka is much more than a dance: It has become a New Zealand icon and as such, it must always be treated with respect.
If you want to learn more about it (or even learn the haka song), press here.




If you want to see a performance and admire its intensity in a rugby game, see the video below. It is a match against the Irish team.

ULURU and THE RED CENTRE

Yo, mates!
How's it going? I hope you've all been succesful in your exams...
As for me, I've been travelling around a little bit. I'm sending some pics about my journey to Alice Springs, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and King's Canyon (I forgot its aboriginal name). I slept in a sleeping bag under the stars in the middle of nowhere, I saw sunrise at Uluru... Unforgettable! Awesome! but so hot... it was boiling!
I hope you like these pics.

SYDNEY!!!
