Kiwi & Maori

This was our day 6 of the journey. Everything was good! :-) And I could see the snow in the morning! It's really fantastic! And we had a good time to know more about New Zealand's animal and Maori today. Do you know what is the famous animal in NZ? The answer is Kiwi bird. It is a kind of bird but it can't fly. Most kiwi species are endangered. The kiwi is also a national symbol of New Zealand. Their lifestyle is similar to owl as they will appear in the night time! So we went to a special room to see the kiwis. Unfortunately, there was only one! We had to keep quiet because they are very sensitive. The appearance of the kiwi looked like a real kiwi fruit. It's so funny! :-) Then, we had a Maori show. Their faces can change very fast and their voices are very loud. It's difficult to do that so I enjoyed the show very much! When we went home, Jamie and Kate danced for us. Ha ha... it's really cute! And I learned their chicken dance. Ivy.W & Sherry took their cameras to have a video. I don't mind doing some silly things in the house because it made me have fun a lot! If Ivy.W, Ivy.L, Sherry joined the dance, it would be more interesting! :-)
