RANGI AND MAU'S AMAZING RACE
This year PU was emerged in Maori culture for the Matariki Celebrations held at the Nga Hau E Wha National Marae in Aranui.
Tanya Muagututi'a, Joy Vaele and Ave Sua devised a new play called 'Rangi and Mau's Amazing Race'.
The new show featured new actors: Flo Lafai, Michael Vaele and Alvin So'oalo-Vaele.
Michael and Alvin got sick on the second week and were replaced by the ol' school masters of the
PU School Tour team - Joy Vaele and Ave Sua. The two week season was an awesome opportunity for PU
to work with the Maori community, Te Runanga O Nga Maata Waka and at an awesome venue like the Marae.

Sounds good. I know I start training for my teaching position on the 6th and it will be ongoing for a few more months but hopefully we can work something out. the extra coin i make from taking those paid surveys online helps out alot tho; you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

www.workforblingsurveys.com

I prolly won't have anything going on that weekend so if nothing else, maybe I can get back to town for a few days then. If I can work it out, you'll have to meet 'em too. Talk to ya later buddy.

Anyways, got any plans for next weekend? ... cuz i doooooooo! oooh, I think the pizza's here, I'm so freakin hungry right now, but it's all good. and that survey thing i was doing - THAT YOU WAS MAKING FUN OF ME FOR DOING!! - i just got paid! $76 for my first check, and since i got paid, I'm gonna do more of em, but I'm already at $184, so I'm loving it. They're so seriously stupid tho - the one I got last night was about my hair and stuff - like what kind of shampoo do I use, do I normally use conditioner ... for real, so easy. you should do it, i'm tellin yah. i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
