kiwi-land day 5

Day 5: finishing my trip in NZ liao... since this is the last day, it is time to go and see our endangered KIWIs.... the main character of NZ.... and also the traditional locals - the MAORI....
today is more of a travelling time.... from the westcoast back to Christchurch.... along the way, our NZ guide did a very notti thing.... as there are alot of cyclists on the road..... he wants us to wave frantically as we saw a cyclist passed by, so that the cyclist will do a big wave back to us and could not balance properly on his bike..... luckily none of the cyclists really fall off the bike lar... kekeke that night, we had a buffet dinner... and beside our restaurant, got this little balcony where we can feed the deers!! yeah yeah!! so fun to see the deers eating those pellets off ur hand.... hehehe...

finally, there is the Maori performance.... it is actually a trail kinda walk.... first, they chose a chief for our "tribe".... and during the trail, the Maori pple will pop out of nowhere to come and attack us.... then the above photo is about a Maori confronting our chief.... hahaha.... if the chief did not make peace with them by picking up their offering, then we die.... hahaha....very interesting lor....

oh yar.... one more joke during the trip.... it is about a sign board along the road that says "!" "CATTLE STOP"

so our guide was telling us that NZ got one group of very smart cattle that can READ..... so that sign board is to tell the cattle to stop and not cross to the road because there are cars..... so after putting the sign board there, the cattle will not cross over n get hit by the cars.... hahahaha....

do u believe so?
