We started running this morning,
the wind is strong outside, just like typhoon,
but it's comfortable to run in the wind.
We had class today,
in order to help us to know the life in NZ more.
At night, we learned Maori dance--Haka,
it's the lyrics under:
Ka Mate Ka Mate
Ka Ora Ka Ora
Ka Mate Ka Mate
Ka Ora Ka Ora
Tenei te tangata Puhuru huru
Nga nai tiki mai whaka whiti te ra
A-upane A-kupane A-upanekupane
White te ra
In NZ before, there are many tribes,
they often had argue with others,
so when two tribes meet, they danced Haka,
to let other know thatI'm strong,
if you are good, I can be your friend,
but you are bad, you must be careful.
There are many kinds of HAKA.
In Maori culture, only men can stretch their tongues.
before, Maori ate human,
but they had many rules,
for example:
only the man you killed at the battle could be eaten,
and only the man who killed him can eat him,
and when they stretched their tongue,
it's means they are not only kille you
but also eat you,
It goes wuthout saying that they don't eat people anymore.
