Market Day Debrief - Sakura Iyama

    

    The market day event was very interesting for me. It is because there were many kinds of shops. I think the best part of this market was the clothes shop. Particularly, the second hand shop. I found Harley Davidson t-shirts, I wondered if I should buy the t-shirt. However, I realized that this is impulse buying. I did not want to waste my money, therefore, I gave up on buying the t-shirt.

    Then, I found an accessory store. There were many pieces that tempted me to buy, but I also did not want to waste my money, therefore I did not buy them. 

    Next, I found the interesting clothes shop, there was a cap which was written “てのひらあ”, which means that “Palmah”, it can make Japanese laugh.

    In conclusion, it was a good opportunity to endure impulse buying. Many New Zealanders are kind, and Otago University students' culture is fascinating to me. There is no market day in Japan. I want to share this kind of culture with Japanese people.

This is the cap that I thought really interesting.

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.
