New Zealand

New Zealand is a country in Oceania is located in the southwest Pacific Ocean comprising two large islands, North Island and South Island, along with other smaller islands. The name is "land of the sea”.
The North Island is the most populated because the people make comercial activities, while the South Island is more rich in . The capital is Wellington.
The climate in New Zealand is basically temperate fresh warm temperate.
Because of their isolation from the rest of the world, New Zealand has an extraordinary endemic flora and fauna.
Previously, the dominant vegetation was mixed forest of evergreen, with thick undergrowth towns of mosses and large ferns primitive However, the dense forest survives only in national parks and nature reserves.
The fauna is even more surprising that the flora, until approximately the late eighteenth century lived in New Zealand territory some of the largest known bird, the moa giant, In the thick forests still remain curious kiwi, kea (parrot), Kakapo (bird). The only native mammals are two species of bats. There existed the biggest highlights cricket in the world (almost the size of a mouse). The Tuatara is a reptil and is the only animal that has a "third eye".
Ok thats all!
I wrote about New Zealand because I want to go there, so I hope you liked it.

History of the Olympic Games

Hello, I´m going to talk about the history of the Olympic Games. I hope you´ll enjoy my post.

Since it began, more than two thousand years ago, the Olympic Games have been the competition grounds for the worlds greatest athletes.
In 776 B.C. the early Olympic Games began in ancient Greece. The prize the winners received included free food and lodging for life. Winners were mentioned in poems, their figures set in sculpture, and their achievements known throughout Greece. To put it simply, winning the Olympic games made you a hero.Even being at the Games was an honor. People from Italy, Sicily, Asia, Africa, and Spain all made the long journey to Olympia. All the famous people of the time attended the Games.
Originally there was only one race, a sprint, and the prize for the winner was an olive wreath. As time went on, other races were added, as were other sports, including boxing and wrestling. Among the more unusual events were the race in armor and the apene race, in which a chariot was pulled not by horses, but by mules.
