Cool! A disco!

 

Turanga Festival

 

Turanga Festival is a special time to sing songs and celebrate the maori culture. As soon as I walk in, I see huge black steps leading up to a humongous stage in front of millions of beady little eyes. As soon as we were on stage, waves of applause came from the audience. Gentle songs filled the air with excitement as the day faded away. Hundreds of words streamed out of our mouths as the audience roared with  glee. A truly magical moment.

 Guy Fawkes Day

England and New Zealand, similar in size not in people. England, the creator of some holidays, New Zealand, A peaceful country with wildlife everywhere. Both celebrate in different ways but what about Guy Fawkes?

Guy fawkes in England is taken seriously. In New Zealand, different cultures equals different ways to celebrate. In NZ, Celebrations are in family groups rather than humongous town or city groups. As peaceful as a cloud floating along in the sky. Yeah, pretty peaceful if you ask me.

England celebrate by having huge bonfires and set fireworks of it and use glow swords, glow sticks and glow necklaces. They all help you see each other in the dark as color as well as smoke fills the night sky as time fades away.

Very different ways to celebrate from 2 very similar countries. Guy Fawkes is one of my favorite holidays because you can connect with people you don’t know as you watch fireworks burst in to the sky like a rocket.

Dear Jerrod

I am writing to thank you for all your help at camp, we all deeply appreciate what you have done to help us. We thank you for all your hospitality and friendliness towards us with helping and being our guide.

 We know It could not have been easy with half of us messing around all the time and misbehaving around you. All you have done has given us a great experience at camp and to appreciate what we have today. My favorite part of the trip was nerf war, thank you for making that experience so fun. You have been a fun guide and a friend to all of us so we thank you for being great.

Yours sincerely
