Day Five

Geothermal energy station

OH! A peel-ti-ful Lake "taupok"
A lake that is about the size of Singapore (cool isn't it?) haha

Lake Taupo

This is another representation of what globalisation has bring to the country.

There are roads constructed to increase the ease of movements of tourists.

There are pipes along the power stations that are connecting, which transfer geothermal and hydroelectric powers to other power stations located at different areas of the country to help generate electricity, mostly through steam.
An fact about the distribution of electricity: 9% for the New Zealand’s power usage, 25% for the North island, 65% for the area around Lake Taupo.

All these are made possible by the inventions of high technology machines that enable the country to produce such clean energy.

A wonderful skyline trip (the trip is longer than singapore cable car trip)

Skyline and Luge

New Zealand is the first to invent the World's Luge Rides and the SkySwing, hence they have the copyrights fot their inventions, and can earn from it when the idea gets around the world.

The Skyline, is another technology for people to move all the way up the tall hills, with ease and without them having to exercise any physical strength.

Due to low pays, staff working for the tourism industry is not permanant, hence finding employment and retaining good wokers for this industry is not easy.

The more educated people would be working in white-collars jobs, like doctors, banks, businesses. whereas the less educated ones would end up farming, with the big piece of land they owned.

Volcanic Activity Centre
Technology advancements has created things like earthquake simulator, mini tornadoes and geysers, to illustate the effects of natural hazards, to provide the locals and the tourists, especially with educational purposes, first hand information.
With the real life situations, we understood, and experience what we've learned in the books. Indeed, it was a fruitful trip there!
