The RCW in New Zealand

Finally, if you want to make a touristic visit before leaving New Zealand, I have make an itinerarie that I recommend to you !

In first time, you can go to Chrischurch for one night, after I think you should go to the Mt Cook for skiing or a mountain hiking.

Then, you can go to the Rob Roy glacier for an hiking or relaxation...

After you can stop to Wanaka or driving to Queestown (Adrenaline Activities) and make then one tour in Milford Sound and come back to Queenstown

Swimming in hot pools, Staying in a hut or Hiking again but for 6 or 7 hours this time when you will be in Copland...

To finish, you can say Good Bye at the New Zealand 'cause in Auckland you come back at home !

Enjoy it !

I like this team because i'm french, yeah but it's a strong team i think !

You can see the anthem, a war song of the french revolution :

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L'étendard sanglant est levé, (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes !

Aux armes, citoyens
Formez vos bataillons
Marchons, marchons !
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons !

Pool A

Here is a video of the France vs. the New Zealand, this video personally give me a lot of shivers !

" Yes, i'm very happy that there will have the Rugby World Cup of 2011 'cause I will support New Zealand !
I have enough knowledge in this sport to say that this team will go far and more later, I would really like to become the coach of this team !
Everybody for All Blacks !!! "

This is the most famous example of the Maori's culture, the haka by All Blacks. It's a dance that was played before the international matches of rugby teams.

You can see the words below :

Ringa pakia !

Uma tiraha !

Turi whatia !

Hope whai ake !

Waewae takahia kia kino !

Ka mate ! Ka mate ! Ka ora !

Ka mate ! Ka mate ! Ka ora !

Tenei te tangata puhuru huru

Nana nei i tiki mai, Whakawhiti te ra

A upane ! ka upane !

A upane ! ka upane !

Whiti te ra ! Hi !

The maori culture is a different culture in the New Zealand culture general.
With the growing importance of the tourism in New Zealand, in particular the introduction of the haka of All Blacks for an international audience, the Maori Culture, formerly only observed in the Maori Society, is seen as fundamental in the New Zealand culture.

I think that is a very very very particular culture but I like the tatoo, so I will not criticize it !
