Te Tiriti o Waitangi

3 things i'll do in Waitangi. First of all I would ask people who work there to take us around Waitangi like tour guides. Second of all, I would play Maori games and games they used to play or learn Maori dances. Lastly I would try all of the Maori foods that they used make in the old days.

Four questions I would ask Bill Kini.
1. How did you train for Rugby and being a Boxer? 
2. Who trained you and who was you coach when you played rugby?
3. When did you get your first medal and what was it for?
4. What sport would you recommend except for rugby?

Hey there Sam, glad to see you are completing more activities and blogging heaps of your summer break.

Thanks for translating those phrases from English to Te Reo and Te Reo to English using the Google Translate Tool. Have you ever used Google Translate before?

It's great reading about your activities you plan to do when you go to Waitangi. I would also like to play Maori games and eat Maori food. It's cool to see you are so keen to engage with the culture. Have you ever been to Waitangi before?

Thanks for crafting four questions to ask Bill Kini during an interview. I especially like your last question because you never know what sport he might recommend. You might find out that he has an interest in some strange sport you've never heard of.

If you could interview anyone in the world who would it be and why?

Thanks, Billy
