Day 3
went to some estuary located rather near our hotel..luckily i took out my slippers sia...mud infested place...haha we saw this special type of moss that looks like a plastic bag...its one cell thick..how thick is that...completed some shellfish survery..arron gave a seriously long talk on how to conduct these surverys...haha did'nt really listen cause it sounded somewhat boring...ok that took up half the day..had seriously good fish and chips...we ordered 5 packets of tartar sauce and 1 packet of tomato..haha me and ephiram finshe our tartar sauce even before half the fish was eaten...After lunch,went to some riverside to plant trees..never knew we'll be doing CIP is a foreign country....vernon needed to go to the toilet so badly so arron asked him to go behind the trees...haha "SUCKER"....headed to the maori homes...sian they choose me as the chief..i thought i was gonna be freaked out by their firece looking faces..ok i've come to a conclusion...what most people see on tvs about mauri people is pure crap....ate some food cooked by a method know a the hangi....learn some mauri words..kia ora(hello) ka bai kai(full) hangi(a method of cooking) and this whole song...phuhuru phuhuru, ka mata ka mata,kia ora kia,teni te tangata,phuhuru phuhuru,nana i tiki mai whaka whiti te ra,(one line which i cannot remember),phuhuru phuhuru
gonna sing it during the goodbye ceramony in the morning after that this super cool mauri guy started playing rock mauri songs for us in hes car lol..we were jumping around like mad idiots...tired day..we all stayed in one big rooms so practically heard people breathing their hearts out at night...mauri culture is interesting but i doubt my ablity to get use to the food.
