                             My group is researching about sightseeing of New Zealand. First, this country has 16 districts and it can be separate to northern island and southern island. And in northern island there is Auckland city. It is the most biggest city in New Zealand. There is Skytower, Albert Park, Auckland Museum, Harbor Cruise and so on. So if you go to New Zealand, I recommend to go to the city. And next then, I want to introduce some attractive activities in New Zealand. Speaking of New Zealand, this country is famous for sheep. How about touch it? And riding a horse also looks like interesting. Then this country have many fishing place. Especially it is in surround districts of Auckland city and so on. And do you know Rotorua? There is hot spring spots and you can have a massage. In addition to that Rotorua is city of Maori. So you can enjoy the culture of Maori. Then if you like activities in the sea, I recommend to go to Bay-of and Coromandel. These are the wonderful resort areas. There is a sea hot spring gushes out. It is said hot-water-beach. Through this researching I could find a lot of information. And my interests also increased.

☆Aloha Festival Speech☆



I would like to introduce about contents of Aloha festival. The main event is floral parade. It is very colorful. The roles of royal family and princess of each islands parade the street with many attendant children. Most attractive thing is parade of women who are called Pa'u Rider. In the old days, when women rode a hose, they wore long skirt called Pa'u. So it is called Pa'u Rider. But their running is very first and dynamic, so some women plunge into houses. And also we can watch the girls dancing hula. It is very cute.

Next I would like to tell you about ukulele contest. Speaking of Hawaiian instrument, ukulele is very famous. Do you know the meaning of ukulele? It is jumping flea in Hawaiian. It means from a nickname of popular performer in those days and it shows the state of moving bustling fingers on small instrument. And ukulele contest is competing ability of ukulele. Amateur performers from each place take part in the contest for prize. It is an event to celebrate traditional culture of Hawaii with wonderful timbre of ukulele.
