An itinerary and a schedule :
The Haka :
The Haka is a very traditional dance form of the Maori of New Zealand, very impressive with shouts and gestures. The most well-known haka is "Ka Mate". It involves fierce facial expressions and grimaces. I love the Haka, I'm always impatient before going to see them play !
Here's a video of the Haka :
Ringa pakia
Uma tiraha
Turi whatia
Hope whai ake
Wae wae takahia kia kino
Ka Mate ! Ka Mate !
Ka Ora ! Ka Ora !
Tenei te ta ngata
puhuru huru Nana nei i tiki mai
Whakawhiti te ra
A upane ka upane !
A upane kaupane whiti te ra !

The Maori 's culture, very interresting :
They are now more than 600 000 live in New Zealand and represent a significant part of the culture and history.
The practice most surprising Maori, these are amazing tattoos that cover the entire head and chin of men women.
These tattoos are called "Moko" or "Ta Moko".
The first thing you'll probably find the Maori in New Zealand are the necklaces and pendants which literally flourished in all the tourist shops. The grades are highly variable, generally the pendants are made of bone, paua (shellfish) or jade.
