Day 1 week 3 = Togs or trackies = activity 1 SLJ

On your blog, tell us what time of year you think is best for tourists for come and visit. Be sure to share at least three things that tourists could do while they were here in NZ.


I believe that tourists should come in winter.

In winter there's hot water pool in rotorua the thermal pool. It would be so calming and relaxing. If the tourist is not a psychocentric and instead is a Allocentric (definitions will be after the text)  Then the best thing they could do is go skiing and snowboarding at ruapehu. It is an incredibly fun activity to do in the winter. If the tourist is more of a celebrational person then theres always maori new year. They do fireworks and have large feasts that you can buy. Not only that but on some events they even put up a little show. Lastly if the tourist just has nothing to do and there attracted to the ocean, they can always go whale watching. It's always so magnificent watching the whales swim. It only depends on what the tourist likes.

Definitions:

Psychocentric: A calm and steady person
Allocentric: A extreme and adventurous person

Day 5 week 2 = Faded glory = Activity 3 SLJ

On your blog, list three different ideas or strategies for raising funds to preserve the Great Barrier Reef. What could you do to fundraise here in New Zealand?

Having idols travel over to have a trip underwater to educate on marine life, also paying for a $50 dollar oxygen tank.

Invite famous people that support a small fish with a dream to live on past its old age.

Auction of sponsored all blacks jerseys.

Day 5 week 2 = black drain = activity 2 SLJ


On your blog, tell us:
1) The names of the rivers. 2) The location of the rivers. 3) What is being done to clean up the rivers (if anything).

wairua river
Kaipara harbour
Using different solutions ( Using different types of liquids ) to increase sediment and improving the ecosystem.

Kaipatiki river
Auckland city
local communities are planting the banks and cleaning the area


Day 5 week 2 = wasting away = Activity 1 SLJ

What do you think about this rule? Is it fair that people are charged up to $100 000 for overfishing? On your blog, tell us what you think about this rule and why you think it!

It depends on the situation and the marine life in the restricted area. I think if an area is over-fished, there must be enough signs and awareness that its a restricted, overfished area. The fine should suit the crime. The reasoning for this is because I believe if you are starving and are just grabbing 2-6 fishes to feed your family, I think it should be a cheap fine and not $100,000. it's like buying food for $100,000 dollars. That's why it should depend on the situation for the fine. 

Day 4 Week 2 = picture perfect = Activity 3 SLJ

 On your blog, write a short story about what you think is happening in the picture. Be sure to tell us where you think the people are and what you think they were doing at the time that they stopped to pose for the selfie. To earn full points, the story must be 8 – 10 sentences long.

I believe this photo was taken in venice, the floating city. Venice is a area in italy.
While taking a turn following her tour guide she decided to stand on the edge to take a gorgeous selfie. Featuring the floating city behind her. It was probably very horrifying but this is NOT a selfie. Why? Because a selfie is a photo of an individual, like a face portrait. But clearly that's not a face and its taken by someone else. To add on this would be a good photo if she wasn't wearing heels.

Day 4 Week 2 = It’s All in the Name = activity 2 SLJ


On your blog, give us a list of three to five options for the name of this geothermal pool. Put a star (*) beside the name that you like the most.

Names:

Avocado bath
Pit of wassabi
Seedless kiwi pool
Kakariki geyser
*Acid geyser*

Day 4 week 2 =Spectacular, Spectacular = activity 1 SLJ

On your blog tell us which of the three options you would take to explore Milford Sound. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen this option.

I would prefer to take a helicopter. Why?
Because if you walk you may get lost plus the time may take longer.
There won't be any point since you'll have to come off some time, to explore.
A helicopter is a perfect way to explore, to take in the beautiful sighting of the land.
