[TrueLenys]

I'm really enjoying the videos about this trip!!! It's such a amazing country. (and I'm every time remember The Lord of The Rings:)))) So, thank you very much for the vid.

I will graduate from university next year and really I'm going to be a PHd student somwhere abroad! And when I'm watching your videos I'm just thinking: Maybe I should go to New Zeland?

[thedailyenglishshow]

@TrueLenys Yes, please come to NZ Elena :) What are you studying?

[TrueLenys]

@thedailyenglishshow I'm studying physics, department of material science :))

[thedailyenglishshow]

@TrueLenys I don't know where the best place to study physics is. I studied at universities in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland (mostly Wellington) and enjoyed them all for different reasons.

[ziosmithy]

wooffing?



[thedailyenglishshow]

@ziosmithy wwoofing is a volunteer system where you work on organic farms in exchange for food and accommodation. The idea is to learn about organic gardening, meet people, exchange ideas etc. I've done it before in NZ, Canada and Japan.

was there anyone attending the kumara stand ?

[thedailyenglishshow]

@onepoorhippo No, it was an honesty box, so you needed the right change. I would've filled up half the motorhome if I bought $20 worth of kūmara, so I gave up. After day 4 I always made sure we had lots of coins so we could stop and buy fruit and veges.

What a great job you did capturing the Hokianga, Sue and I loved it. I'll have to keep coming back to see what else your eyes saw on your travels. All the best from Louis and Sue at the Labyrinth Woodworks, Maze and Puzzle Museum

Interesting...I was hearing the story of the guide and it remind me of our country main story, the Nahualt "The Guardian Spirit" there is a saying "If you go to the forrest and you do harm to it...you never return..." Maybe cultures apart might have met before you know...that void...could be more real that we expected...Great video Sarah :)

Do you speak any Indigenous Australian languages? :)

[thedailyenglishshow]

@1adrs No, I don't. I studied French at high school, Māori (a New Zealand language) at university and Japanese when I was living there.

[SauronsEye]

@1adrs I'm Australian and the most urban setting I've ever encounted an Aboriginal language was in Alice Springs. Otherwise you need to generally go to remote Aboriginal communities. Indigenous languages in Australia are more varied than the language distribution you'd see in Europe for example. I've read old accounts of Aborigines being taken a few hundred kilometres from their home land and they couldn't understand the Aborigines in the new district.

@SauronsEye Thanks so much for your quick answer!
