Imagine that you have been asked to create your very own airline. What would you call it? Design a simple logo for your airline and post it on your blog. You must include a short explanation of your logo below the picture.

Air New Zealand ‘Safety in Hollywood’ video

Once you have finished watching the videos, go to your blog and list three things that you need to do to stay safe on an airplane.

• Keep your belts on throughout the flight
• Once the oxygen mask falls down over your head, pull it down and place it over your mouth and nose, do your mask before you help others
• In an event of an emergency an escape path lighting will guide you, make sure you leave all baggage behind

For more information just look at the card in the seat pocket in front of you or ask your flight attendant.

Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. Have you been to Wellington? If so, please tell us about two things that you did when you were in Wellington. If you haven’t had the opportunity to go to Wellington, follow the link to learn more about this very cool city: Discover Wellington.

On your blog, tell us what two things you would like to do if you had the chance to visit Wellington. Would you go to the botanical gardens or visit the Beehive? Perhaps you would prefer to go shopping on Cuba Street or go out for dinner on Quay Street…

In Wellington I have been to the Te Papa Tongarewa Museum, the museum is really beautiful. Inside their are a lot of different things, there I saw a really big squid bead in a tank.

I have also been inside the Wellington Beehive. I saw where all the parliaments came to meet up. We also had a tour of the Beehive.

Not everyone supports bullfighting in Spain. In fact, about 30% of the population want it to be banned (stopped) completely. What do you think? On your blog tell us whether or not you think that bullfighting should be banned in Spain. Please provide, at least, two reasons to support your decision.

I personally think that this activity is very dangerous but I also think that it shouldn’t be banned because it has been apart of their culture for a very long time and you should always respect other people’s culture/religion. Even though the toreros and matadors get killed they should face the consequence of participating in the activity. So I think you should be highly trained to participate in this activity.
