I have been to Wellington with my family, and some friends from England when they visited earlier this year. We tiki-toured all over the place having driven down from Auckland staying overnight at Palmerston North stopping at the Rugby museum.
My two favourite places that we visited whilst in Wellington were the "Beehive" (which is where the Prime Minister and alot other other MP's have their meetings and discuss national matters of interest)
FYI...whilst we were in the "Beehive" we got to go into the room which John Key was once asked to leave when he didn't stop shouting at an opposing member of committee as he disagreed with the points being made...
and Cuba Street which is famous for having lots of good alternative food shops and restaurants.
The place that we all stopped at was Ekim Burger where they have massive burgers overloaded with alternative and different fillings which are cooked in an array of styles depending on the seasoning and flavour for each one. The milkshakes were quite good too!!

Day 2 Activity 2
I think bullfighting should not be banned because it is an important part of the Spanish culture and heritage. It has traditionally been around for hundreds of years and to forgo such a tradition is ridiculous in my opinion...
The trained matadores who represent their families (and in some instances the family-honour) participate to promote the hispanic ethos willingly. They know there is a high risk of injury occurring and possibly death when fighting an angry bull, but they wish to uphold their culture in this way.
Therefore, I do not think that bullfighting should be banned. I do however think that there should be more safety precautions incorporated into the "fight" between the bull and the matador for all participants, and an assessment of pre and post fight status' analysed for future reference.

Day 1 Bonus Activity
Dear Grandma
I have decided to got to Malaysia for a month because I would like to learn more about how the Malaysian people sustain their lifestyle.
Even though I have been there before I really only learnt about the national food and some of the cultural traditions.
I have heard that there are some very interesting people and places in Malaysia, e.g.
- Kuala Lumpur is the biggest city and also the nations capital city,
- Since 2009 Najib Raxak has been the Prime Minister,
- Legoland opened in 2012.
Lots of love,
Harrison
Day 1 Activity 2

Day 1 Activity 1
Malaysia
I chose Malaysia as my country because of the many cultures, friendly people, mouth-watering cuisine, array of business', differing holiday options, historic and modern traditions and the complex religions that make Malaysia the country it is today.
The other reason why I chose Malaysia was because I have been there on holiday with my family and I really enjoyed the whole experience, but as a family we really only scraped the surface when learning about the "tourism" facts and diversity of the country.
