From bugs to beaches to beautiful vistas
So, a day or two ago, me and my family went to a cooking class. It was quite fun, learning how to cook traditional Sri Lankan food. The food that we made was absolutely delicious (and spicy to some). Firstly, we went to the market to buy food for our curries. The market was almost …

This is a blog post about... (wait for it) GINGER BEER!! Throughout my travels, I have found that I love ginger beer. From the Cook Islands to Australia, I have tasted many different ginger beers, some that are absolutely delicious and some that are, quite literally, meh. What I mean about that is that some …
by Rowan For those of you who already have question marks over their heads (I know who you are!), the ball crew are those lucky (and unlucky) people that throw the ball back to the players (be it soccer or field hockey). On the plus side, you get the best front row seats for nothing …
By Rowan Yesterday, we went to watch some cricket at the Adelaide. It was packed with people and full of delicious smelling food and coffee. I went there expecting it to be super fun and interesting. And it is, provided that you are patient. Cricket isn't, in my opinion, the most interesting of games but …
By Rowan Actually, it’s officially called the Christmas Pageant. Why? Great question. I have no clue why it’s called that. Anyhow, It’s an hour and a half long parade full of over-the-top floats.

Since New Zealand is basically also Down Under, I'll talk about that First. First Question, …
Here is the best way to get soaked and have fun at the same time. You go on a luge down a mountain when its raining. You go around the curves at breakneck speed so that your luge slips and almost flips over. It gives you that epic rush of adrenaline. You race people so …
We went to Hobbiton. It was small. It was kind of hard to imagine Gandalf driving a cart on some of these pathways. But hey, who cares? We were in HOBBITON. So, we started off our adventure in the exact same place as when Frodo first meets Gandalf in the Fellowship of the ring. It …
by Rowan When we arrived in New Zealand, the first thing I thought was “where are the chickens?” Then I remembered that New Zealand cities didn’t have chickens wandering around everywhere. It was actually quite a shock coming to New Zealand since it was so different from the Cook Islands. I had to keep reminding …
Today, we went to a brewery on Rarotonga. It was called Matutu brewery. It was quite interesting, considering the fact that the brewery was very small, had only 2 fermentation barrels and that there would be no other brewery that I would visit that would work quite like this one. It used old machinery and …
