Maori values

Today we went to farewell ceremony of CEO at the university. The ceremony was held in Te Awamutu, which is small town 30 minutes from Hamilton. I was not sure what to expect, it was the whole day, from 9 till 17. Everything started at 12 o'clock. Speeches, songs, maori traditional lunch, and again speeches, presents, songs.

Rainbow

I haven't been on a trip lately, so I don't have any new photos. I really need to persuade someone to go with me somewhere, some nice small trip/walk. The weather is still quite good during day.

NZ Pacific Salsa Congress

The last whole weekend I spent dancing, dancing from morning till evening, starting on Thursday evening and finishing on Monday afternoon. I arrived to Wellington on Thursday afternoon, I stayed at Honza and Eva in Lower Hutt. There were three other people going to salsa congress from Lower Hutt, so they gave a lift there and back.

Homesick

Today we had marautanga hui = monthly meeting of departments involved in students support and learning. It is usually about three/four hours of different presentation and information about other departments, what's going on, what are their plans, and also with some breaks doing exercise and playing some team building games. And there is lunch together after that.
