300 Million Dollars, Week 4, Day 1, Part 2

300 Million Dollars

What would I do with 300 million dollars?  I would likely share it between my family first, then I would spend the rest on an okay, but not too expensive house.  The reason I would not buy a mansion is for this reason; even with 300 million dollars, covering the costs of a mansion would still be a challenge. This is because of the amount of energy, water, food and other supplies which is used per month, meaning it would be a giant bill every year.  This is why I would not get a giant mansion and just get a small, but decent house with equipment that doesn't break all the time, if I still had extra money (which is highly likely) I would store some of it in the bank to get extra income, and most of all, some insurance for the future.

Celebrating a Win, Week 4, Day 1

Celebrating A Win

When we celebrate something great, such as a birthday, we would have a few friends over play some games somewhere, usually at the pool or a park.  Then we would go have a snack at some tables nearby and this is usually just junk food such as chips, lollies and chocolate.  Afterwards we would go out to a restaurant and order some delicious food to eat, and half of the time it's so filling that we don't even order dessert!  Then we all go home and say goodbye to each other, usually it's pretty late around then so half of us would probably go to sleep.

Meat And 3 Veg Rule, Week 3, Day 1

The Rule Of The Meat And 3 Veggies

The Meat And 3 Veg Rule was used by many housewives towards making an evening meal.  They would pick a meat such as beef, lamb or chicken as the main meat, and pick 3 veggies to put aside the meat.  This could be anything such as the cooked potato, crisp cold carrot, or even some cooked pumpkin, and this meal would produce enough vitamins and energy for humans to continue on working for almost the rest of the day!

Voting In Saudi Arabia, Week 2, Day 1, Part 2

Voting In Saudi Arabia

What Do I Think About Woman Voting In Saudi Arabia?  I think that it is better for their community, and I think this is because by including woman into the voting it is an unbiased and fairer vote for the country.  Including woman into the vote means that their voices are heard and people will actually agree with them.  It makes sure that not only men have the pressure to vote and that woman can vote as much as men.  Although they decided to allow woman to vote in 2015, I still think that they should have been able to earlier than that.

Setting Sail! Week 1, Day 1, Part 2

Maori Translation: Ko te Waka Trip E hoa Norman, Ki te korero koe i tenei, ka koa ahau ki te korero ki a koe e haere ana matou i te taha o te moana takutai ki te rapu whenua. Kaore i roa to maatau kai ka haere matou ki te hī ika i to matou ara ki reira, ko te ahua o te waa he waka tawhito. I te nuinga o te waa na te waka i pupuhi i nga ika ika me o tatou poari ika i marara noa atu i te waka. Me horoi te wai e nga tohunga i runga i te poti, na, i te mea ka nui atu to maatau ika, ka mau ahau ki te iti o te waa, i whangaia ai matou mo tetahi waahi iti o to maatau haerenga. I te mutunga ka kitea e matou te whenua me te ingoa o Niu Tireni, Koinei pea te whenua matomato kua kitea e au i to maatau haerenga. Na Aedan Gunn 2017

English Translation:

The Waka Trip

Dear Norman, If you're reading this, I'll be glad to tell you that we're on our way across the pacific ocean in search of land.  Our packed food didn't last long so we had to go fishing on our way there, it was almost as if our waka was an old fashion fishing boat.  Especially because the waka reeked of fish guts and our fishing rods scattered across the waka.  The water had to be purified by the experts on the boat, so while they did that we did more fishing, I caught I small flounder which fed us for a small session of our trip.  Eventually we found land and named it Aotearoa, It may have been the greenest land I had ever seen on our journeys.
