“message dial for disasters”

By the way, do you know “a message dial for disasters”? When earthquake happen, a lot of people use the telephone to confirm safety and the place of their family. So a phone line will be crowded. Then you should use this service. With this service, you can leave a message for your family. Also, you can get a message. If you wish to leave a message, dial 171 and 1 and then the number. If you want to get a message, dial 171 and 2 and then the number. Don’t forget “171” to make contact with other people.

History Of Oktoberfest

History of Oktoberfest

I will introduce about history of Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest is one of the most famous events in Germany. This is held from middle of September to the beginning of October in Munich. The original "Oktoberfest" occurred in Munich, on October 18, 1810 for the commemoration of marriage of king of Bavaria and Princess Therese. Munich is the capital city of Bavaria. So this is important event of Bavarian culture.
But now people celebrate autumn harvest and the beginning of a new beer brewing season in Germany. About six million people attend every year, and drink a lot of beer and eat foods. Participants wear Bavarian folk costumes. This festival will be the 200th anniversary next year.

My presentation

I will talk about history of Te Wahipounamu.

Te Wahipounamu is a name that means "Home of a green stone (jade)" in the Maori word.
And this was registered in the natural heritage in 1990.

There are a Fjord and a Milford sound formed at the glacial period 14,000 years ago in the coast part. The nature was very severe, so the investigation to Te Wahipounamu started in the 1960's.

The mountain chain including Mt. Cook appeared by the collision of two plates. The diastrophism that started 20 million years ago continues now. These mountains have upheaved by one centimeter every year. It keeps growing up still now.
