Was a fun experience and good to get out of town for a while. i have a new appreciation for the moari's and there passion for their culture and family ties. It has inspired me to do a little research into my own and ancestory to find out who i am and where i came from

Was really pushed out of my comfort zone which was good as we learned how to do a haka and then performed it infront of the marae going full bull and shirtless, A good way to let out our anger.
