Using Google Maps

This is a map of New Zealand showing all the Stadiums of the Rugby World Cup 2011.I had to search for all the stadiums and one by one I had to drag the blue pins to every single Stadium I made this by using google maps.

Describing Piri Weepu.

When I felt the wind run up my back I couldn't wait for the action of the game to start. When I sat down on my comfortable seat, I could feel the excitement tinkling in my stomach.

Then finally the Haka started. I could see Piri Weepu slapping his hands against his chest like a true Maori warrior.I could see his Maori patterned tattoos on his arm. I heard his strong and loud manly voice shouting out the starting of the haka . He was so frightening it was like I was being threatened to live or die by a warrior.It was so frightening.

But then when he got the blue rugby ball he ran through everyone as if their was no one there on the field. His black hair brushed back, then when he was that close to the try line then he dived down as if he was flying and scored a try. I was so amazed. After that, he ran back to all his team mates when he was running I could see his white rugby boots getting pushed up against the lushes grass. His team mates came towards him and patted his back in joy.

And that night I will never forget.
