Day 18 Activity 1

I had just entered the zoo when all of a sudden, I saw a lion on the loose! PANIC ran through my mind as my heart beat fast!!!! I ran../but unfortunately I was wearing a backpack full of ham, lamb, pork and chicken because it was just one of those coincidence days.

I decided to jump into one of the nearby pens to try and stay safe, but what I didn't do was check which enclosure I was seeking safety within...just my luck, it was the tiger's cage!

When I turned around to leave there was already a tiger guarding the exit and even if I did find a way to get out of this enclosure, the lion was patrolling around the outside.

I decided to give up my meat even though it had cost so much money, but surely my life was worth much more...Mum would understand - EVENTUALLY?!

I threw the meat into the corner on the opposite side of the tiger enclosure and then ran and ran and ran.

Luckily, the lion jumped into the tigers pen and as they were both distracted momentarily I ran like my life depended on it, because it did...

Day 17 Bonus Activity

Here I am at The Sky Tower in Auckland with my Grandparents.

Mainly tourists visit it, but they serve YUMMY afternoon tea and inside there is a casino and theatre as well as many restaurants (including a revolving one).

Day 17 Activity 2

If I had take someone to the landmarks of New Zealand I would take them to...

• The Sky Tower in Auckland as it is one of the most iconic sighting in New Zealand, 
• Mt Cook because it is the tallest mountain in New Zealand, 
• The Te Puke Kiwifruit, 
• The Ohakune Carrot and 
• The Paeroa L&P bottle 

            ...because they are 3 big icons in New Zealand that represent "Kiwiana" which are at the heart of New Zealand.

Day 17 Activity 1

Which landmark would I like to visit and why?

I would visit the Batu Caves because of the amazing history behind them.

It is said that the caves were formed over 400 million years ago...that means that it was probably formed during the Mesozoic Era (the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth!)

Some of the entrances to the cave were used as shelters by the indigenous Temuan people.

Day 16 Bonus Activity

On Waitangi Day (6/2) we don't really do much to celebrate the National Day but we usually spend it as a family (or with friends) and go to the beach and have a BBQ. 

When we lived in Rotorua there would usually be some community Waitangi Day celebrations which we would attend and enjoy.  I remember going to Whakarewarewa Village...




As a family, we have gone to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds where the original document was signed at the treaty house...they also had a replica copy of the document there for you to view because they have the original at the National New Zealand Museum of Te Papa in Wellington.

 

Day 16 Activity 2

Make up a New National Holiday...Malaysia.

If I had to make up a New National Holiday for Malaysia it would be called...             "Kuala Lumpur Day" 

• You would only get the day off from work if you lived/resided in Kuala Lumpur.

• You would only be able to eat a meal or drink a drink if it contained Papaya; national fruit of Malaysia.

• You must attend the annual Hibiscus planting ceremony...this only happens on the 17th September.

Day 16 Activity 1

If I was to be at my countries national day (Malaysia - 31/8) what would I see, eat and do?

I would go and see the "Petronas Towers" which is one of the world largest man-made structures standing at 88 stories high and just over 250m.  It is an iconic Malaysian landmark situated in Kuala Lumpur.

I would eat Nasi Lemak which is the national dish of Malaysia.  It consists of rice cooked in coconut milk, served with meat and vegetables. Yummy!!

I would head over to watch a game of  Sepak Takraw which is the national sport of Malaysia.  It is a lot like volleyball except you can't use you hands...you must use your feet to make contact with the ball.
