Everyone is now safely back in Hong Kong. I hope you all enjoyed the tour - I certainly did.

SUKI, GIGI, JACK, STEVEN, SCORPIO, IVY WONG, LITTLE IVY, OLD LADY, NATALIE, KELLY, MARCO, CUTEY LAU, FLORA, IRISSA, VANESSA, JESSICA


You have been wonderful students and I have loved spending two weeks with you. We did so much over the past two weeks and I was always impressed by how positive, enthusiastic and well-behaved you all were.

Also, a big thank you to John Man for helping me with this study tour. He may have been very cold throughout the two weeks but he didn't complain..............much :-)

Keep looking at this blog over the next few days because I am going to try to add some video clips. Also, please add your comments to let me know what you thought of the tour and how you feel now. And don't forget the webpage competition - two prizes totalling $8,000 dollars each. Send me your completed web page by September 1st.

My email address is ozspur@gmail.com

Have a great holiday, folks.

John C

Prepare for take off

Ok, so the plan is we go as fast as we can and hope we can clear those mountains at the end of the runway!

Maori Evening

We all had a lovely and funny time at the Maori Cultural Show. We looked around their village houses, listened to their singing and watched their dancing. Then it was our turn to take part and learn the famous Maori Haka (the men) and the Poi (the girls). It was a wonderful way to end a fantastic trip to New Zealand.
