Audio ZEPIS NUMERS di SIADOVA KOPRAZ NENIU ADIN hi, Alan.0:00
I haven't seen you for ages.0:07
How are you?0:09
I've just returned from New Zealand.0:10
That was a very interesting journey.0:12
I expect so.0:14
To be in the Pacific Ocean.0:16
A long way from anywhere.0:17
Was that a business trip?0:20
It wasn't.0:22
I went to New Zealand as a tourist.0:22
I had always wanted to visit this wonderful country.0:24
And in July my dream came true.0:27
So what's your impression of the country?0:30
It is really interesting and very unusual.0:32
New Zealand is a center of tourism now.0:36
Thousands of people go to New Zealand on holiday.0:38
They go there to see the beautiful countryside and to enjoy adventure sports.0:41
Water spots, mainly.0:46
What about the weather?0:48
Very pleasant indeed.0:50
It is never really hot or really cold there.0:52
It often rains.0:55
And the weather can change quickly.0:55
Sometimes you can get many different kinds of weather in one day.0:58
Especially on the South Island.1:01
I know that the first people to make New Zealand their home were the Maori.1:03
True.1:08
They arrived from Polynesia in boats made of wood and called New Zealand the Long White cloud.1:08
How poetic.1:15
Maori are unique.1:17
They keep their culture.1:19
In fact, they're famous for the art they put on their faces.1:21
What do you mean?1:25
They can paint their faces with pictures or tattoos.1:26
In the past, women had tattoos on their lips, chin and sometimes arms.1:30
Men had tattoos all over their faces.1:35
Some Maori people have these tattoos today.1:38
So Maori live alongside Europeans.1:42
What's the population of the country?1:44
About 4 million.1:47
Though only 600,000 Maori.1:48
New Zealand is about the same size as the United Kingdom, whose population is more than 60 million people.1:51
Did you take any photos?1:58
Lots of them.2:00
Come and see them someday.2:01
Maybe tomorrow, if that's convenient.2:03
Thanks, I will, but not tomorrow.2:06
Monday is my busiest day.2:08
