Hangi, a Maori dish cooked by using the steam from the natural hot springs in the ground.

| geysers
Unlike other geysers like the Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park, where you have to wait for hours to see a geyser, this geyser at Rotorua is a continuous non stop display of hot steam and water being ejected from the ground every minute. So, the stream of foreign tourists coming to Rotorua to see a geyser is almost non-stop every day. They come by the bus loads.

A Maori house was made of very basic materials. This was how they were living before the pakeha (white men) arrived here with Captain Cook.
In the Pacific Islands and Maori culture, big is beautiful. Zam certainly got the pretty girl!
