I wanted to give this post an inpolitically correct title, but my better judgment grabbed hold. This photo is from after the cultural show at Te Whakarewarewatanga O Te Ope Taua A Wahiao. Anyone who calls me on my cell phone and says the name of the village properly gets a bottle of wine. I can't do it, because my Maori is not good. You pronounce the consonants and vowels as if they were written German, but the "wh" is pronounced as "f" as in father. Practice on "Whakapapa" and work your way up. The village felt like Taos Pueblo with no adobe and volcanic activity. The cultural show was very nice. Plus the photo has the most attractive dancer and you can guess which one that is.
