Its been a month since I came back, but I think I will now blog about New Zealand, It was a fantastic trip, and of the two (New Zealand and Japan) the more interesting one (in terms of the activities). The New Zealand trip was full of fun and hands on activites, we got to examine a river, calculating its speed, discharge and things like, things that you cannot really of in the confines of a classroom. Really, learning in the great outdoors does make things stick to your head a lot faster and better. I mean, sure, one can learn everything in a textbook and regurgitate it in their test and exams. Then again put them in a practical situation and they are just going to look at you with a ridiculous look on their faces. Now thats a real test.

We visited the Green Bay High School, my partner was Luke ( and his last name was NOT Skywalker) their schools are rather simple in face but the people there are really friendly. I went through Chemistry, Graphics and PE with my partner.

After that we moved on to Rotorua which due to the sulphur down there smelt like rotten eggs. My favourite activity in Rotorua was the Zorb. I was actually the first one to go (with Issac), it feels like being put in a huge washing machine and just being tumbled around.

Another thing I enjoyed in New Zealand is that I celebrated my Birthday there, The teachers actually got a cake and all and two other people shared my Birthday (Maverick and Ryan) the day was 1 November 2009
