Market Day Debrief - Hikari Shimizu

    The weather was perfect for walking around the campus and going to OUSA Market. It was a wonderful time and I felt perfect happiness because all of the students looked like they were enjoying their shopping and talking with friends or shop assistants.

    It has been about three weeks since I came here and I've seen a lot of 3R(Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) products in many places. And today, I saw a lot of secondhand clothes stalls which are related to 3R. If we buy these clothes, we can stop throwing them away and reuse them. It means that we can contribute to keep the environment clean. I think it is a great idea and I suppose it is one kind of New Zealand culture. I have never experienced participating in these events, also there are no such events in my university. I think it will be nice if there are some places where we can experience something like this in Japan.

    I agree with you. This market gives people the opportunities to think about environment problems.

    Right, in Japan we’d better have such opportunity, where we can practice 3R behaviors and understand more about eco-friendly way of living.

    It made me think that many NZ people are deeply concerned about sustainable society.

    You have a really good perspective! I think Japanese people should also concern more about 3R.

Fishing makes me happy -LEIL

To be honest, I have almost never fishing in China.  After coming to Dunedin, I started to like fishing. Dunedin is near the sea and there are many suitable fishing spots nearby. I like to go fishing in Port Chalmers on weekends with my friends. I think fishing helps me to release stress, exercise my willpower, and we will have fish to eat.

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.
