Sightseeing of Wellington

Introduction

Wellington is the capital of the New Zealand. Since the capital of NZ has changed from Auckland into Wellington in 1865, Wellington has been the centre of its politics. there are some universities, museums, and theatres, so Wellington also has the side of the centre of NZ's culture. In addition to that, there are many stylish cafes, restaurants, and galleries in Wellington. Therefore, Wellington is a kind of mixed city, which has old beautiful buildings and modern creations with harmony.

Sightseeing

I researched about sightseeing of Wellington. At first, I introduce the Beehive. The organ of this name is its shape. As you see, it is like a nest of bee. The beehive is NZ parliament, where politicians argue. It is used since 1977, and it is a very modern building. The Beehive does not open to the public, but you can go to the neighboring library or assemble hall for free. However, there are some places where you are not allowed to take any pictures.


Next, I introduce Weta Cave. I guess you know the movie such as Road of The Ring, King Kong, Night Museum, or Jumper, and these movies use many kinds of Visual Effects. However, do you know how Visual Effects are used or made in movie? In fact, these Visual Effects were made by WETA Digital. If you are interested in what is WETA Digital, please go to Weta Cave. At Weta Cave, you can experience the world of WETA Digital. You can enter for free.

Thanksgiving Day in Canada

It is well-known that Canada has thanksgiving as well as America, and I’m introducing how Canadians spend thanksgiving. In Canada, thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. I suppose that you know its date is different from US. The date of US is the forth Tursday in November. It is because the beginnings are different. However I don't refer to its history. If you want to know about it, please click this link. During this celebration, family and relatives gather and eat meal. This meal is quite the same to America; Pumpkin pie, stuffing and so stuff. Of course, the main is roasted turkey with cranberry sauce. According to my research, there are some people don’t eat turkey because this turkey is usually cheap and doesn’t taste good. However, every year people eat, because it is a tradition. It is also often for couples to watch the autumn leaves or participate in outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting. We can enjoy eating meals for free or at a discount in some restaurants of center city.
