My reaction to the Hakarena. SERIOUSLY ENGLAND?

My Reaction To The #Hakarena.

The Video:

First of all, why does this video exist? But before I get to that part, I am going to say the GOOD side of this video.

The Good Side:

The video is hilarious! I like how they incorporated the Macarena into it along with the haka. That's all I really have to say with the good side.

The Bad Side:

Why does this video exist? I don't like it because it offends us as a country and in our culture. They copied our idea of our Haka and they used it in the WRONG way.

I give this video a rating of a 3.5/10. #Lame #Seriously?

If I was to sum up this video with one word, it would be, Stupid

My Picture Description.

This picture shows the Majestic Hoiho in its mountain habitat. If you're wondering why the sky is purple, the picture is set just as the sky turns a pitch black color. The sun has set and the rare pink clouds of the night have come out. Below the mountains is a lake where a small beach with shells and pebbles are surrounding it. Then we have the Hoiho with its nice pure black color with its bright yellow eye.

Opti Sailing - How to tie a figure 8 knot.

Figure 8 Knot Instructions.

In 4 easy and simple steps!

What a figure 8 knot is used for.

A Figure 8 Knot is used in a Optimist yacht when sailing. This is one of the knots needed to get the sail up and running.

Step 1 & 2.

Step one is to find a piece of string and put it into a U shape. Make sure the rope is thick otherwise it will not work. Then get it into a circle at the bottom like a peach.

Step 3 & 4

Then, take the right side of the string and take it under the left piece of string until it looks like a 8. Take the same side of string and put it under the left string again. When it's in the middle of the bottom part, Pull tightly.

There you go! You now have made a figure 8! Hope this was useful to you!
